What a flooring installer earns depends on certification, the surfaces they can install, and where they work. Because NOC 73113 spans apprentices to certified journeyperson installers, the band is wide, and Red Seal certification and hardwood and resilient experience lift the top end. The table below shows the official Job Bank wage band by province for 2026.
These are hourly low-to-high bands from Job Bank Canada, classified under NOC 73113 (Floor covering installers), updated November 19, 2025. The national median is $26.00 per hour.
| Province | Hourly low to high |
|---|---|
| Quebec | $24.42 to $43.27 |
| Alberta | $17.00 to $42.31 |
| British Columbia | $22.00 to $39.20 |
| Ontario | $17.60 to $35.00 |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | $16.64 to $33.69 |
| Saskatchewan | $20.00 to $31.25 |
| Manitoba | $16.00 to $31.00 |
| New Brunswick | $20.25 to $28.34 |
| Nova Scotia | $20.00 to $26.44 |
Prince Edward Island and the three territories are not shown because Job Bank cannot publish a wage band for this trade there.
What drives the spread
- Red Seal certification and journeyperson status, which lift the floor and the ceiling
- Compulsory certification in Quebec, which supports one of the highest bands in the country
- Hardwood, engineered wood, and commercial-resilient experience, which pays more than basic carpet and laminate
- Cost of living and construction and renovation volume, which lift pay in Alberta and British Columbia
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 73113, the floor covering trade. Apprentices and newer installers sit near the floor. Certified journeyperson installers with hardwood and resilient experience sit toward the ceiling.
