Alta Vista is an established south-east neighbourhood of homes built through the 1950s and 60s. Subfloors of that era are solid but often a little uneven, so levelling is common before hardwood or vinyl. It is a quick drive south-east of downtown. Alta Vista suburbanised in the 1950s as Rideau Park expanded and Faircrest Heights and Applewood Acres were built, with Urbandale Acres following in the 1960s.

Homes of this era typically have plywood subfloors, flatter and more forgiving than a pre-war board floor, so most floors go down cleanly. Ottawa’s dry winters still apply, though – indoor humidity here was measured at 26 to 29 percent in winter (National Research Council, 1967), below the range solid hardwood wants – so we plan acclimation and often suggest engineered wood for stability.
