Flooring in Lower Mission

Lakeside ranchers, Pandosy character homes and high-end infill.

The homes in Lower Mission

Lower Mission mixes 1960s to 80s ranchers and split-levels near the lake with character homes around Pandosy and Abbott Street, and a steady stream of new custom builds and infill. The older homes often reveal original oak under carpet; the new builds want wide-plank engineered hardwood, large-format tile and a level of finish that matches the neighbourhood. Proximity to the lake means lower floors see more humidity than the rest of Kelowna.

Lower Mission is a fifteen-minute drive from McCurdy Place down Gordon or Lakeshore. We're there most weeks, often for whole-home projects, and we schedule estimates around the Pandosy traffic rather than into it.

Lower Mission flooring questions

Is solid hardwood a good idea near the lake?+
Engineered hardwood is the safer choice for lake-level and lower floors in Lower Mission because it handles humidity swings better. Upstairs and on the main floor of a well-conditioned home, either works; we moisture-test before recommending solid.
Do you work with builders and designers on new Lower Mission homes?+
Yes. We supply and install for custom builds and renovations, coordinate around other trades, and keep samples in the showroom so selections can be made in one visit.
How long does a whole-home project take?+
A 2,000 square foot main floor in engineered hardwood with tile in the wet rooms typically runs one to two weeks including acclimation and grout cure.
