Flooring Installation Vancouver

We have been installing floors in Vancouver homes since 1999 — across 2,500+ projects in single-family homes, character houses, strata condos, rentals, and commercial spaces. Our 2,500+ sample showroom on West Broadway is the largest in the area, and our installers are in-house, so the supply and the install live in the same building. One company stands behind both.

This page covers our general flooring installation service. For category-specific guides, see Hardwood Flooring Vancouver and Luxury Vinyl Flooring Vancouver.

Flooring types we install in Vancouver homes

• Hardwood — solid and engineered, oak, maple, hickory, walnut. Engineered for most Vancouver homes (handles humidity better than solid).
• Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and SPC — 100% waterproof, top pick for condos, kitchens, basements, rentals, and families with pets.
• Tile — porcelain, ceramic, natural stone — for bathrooms, kitchens, entries, mudrooms.
• Laminate — affordable and scratch-resistant, with some lines now offering waterproof HDF cores.
• Carpet — plush, Berber, frieze, cut-and-loop — for bedrooms, stairs, basements.
• Cork and bamboo — sustainable options for specific applications.

Vancouver-specific flooring considerations

• Strata condo buildings — most require IIC 65+ acoustic underlayment. We carry building-approved underlayment and handle strata paperwork.
• Coastal humidity — Vancouver winters bring 80%+ humidity. Solid hardwood expands and contracts in this — engineered hardwood is the right pick for most homes.
• Basement and below-grade — concrete passes moisture even when dry. LVP, SPC, or tile only — never solid hardwood below grade.
• Subfloor prep — older Vancouver homes often have uneven subfloors. We use self-levelling compound where needed, not as an upcharge surprise.

How to choose the right flooring for your Vancouver home

The right floor depends on the room, the building, the lifestyle, and the budget. Our guide Best Flooring for Vancouver's Wet Climate walks through the comparison room-by-room.

For most Vancouver homes today, the typical recommendation is: engineered hardwood in living areas and bedrooms, LVP or SPC in kitchens and basements, and porcelain tile with Schluter waterproofing in bathrooms and entries.
