Old Ottawa South is an established central neighbourhood near the canal and Bank Street, full of early-1900s homes. Original plank subfloors and settled joists are common, so levelling and refinishing are the usual work before or instead of new floors. It is close to our Laurier base. Old Ottawa South grew after the streetcar reached it in 1913, and a 1999 community history described most of its homes as already over 80 years old.

Homes of this era usually sit on an original board subfloor, laid diagonally across the joists as Ontario’s code still requires, with gaps left on purpose for drainage – so before laminate or LVP we add a panel underlay, and before wide solid hardwood we check the levelling. Original single-glazed windows also mean the house cannot be humidified into the 30 to 50 percent range solid wood is specified for without condensation (NRC Canadian Building Digest CBD-4), which is why we often recommend engineered wood or narrower boards here.
