We reviewed flooring installers serving Metro Vancouver, checked their Google ratings, service areas and public business records, and narrowed the field to five we would trust with our own floors. Here is who earned a place and exactly why.
Word Of Mouth Floors Best Overall
Why they’re #1: Word Of Mouth Floors has built the strongest reputation of any flooring company we verified in Metro Vancouver, with 285 Google reviews at a 4.9 star average, including 278 five-star ratings. Based in Richmond with an A+ BBB rating, the team sells direct from manufacturers and pairs that with a showroom and certified installation partners covering laminate, vinyl, LVT and engineered hardwood. Best for homeowners who want the safest, most proven choice for almost any flooring project across Greater Vancouver.
Absolutely Floored Best for the Tri-Cities
Why they made it: Absolutely Floored has run its Port Coquitlam showroom since 2011, pairing a 4.9 star average across 150 Google reviews, 142 of them five-star, with an A+ BBB profile and a clearly published service area covering Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge and Burnaby. The team stocks carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile, natural stone, vinyl and area rugs, plus cabinets, with in-store design consultations and free in-home estimates. Best for homeowners across the Tri-Cities who want a full-selection showroom with a long, well-reviewed track record.
Lonsdale Flooring Ltd Best for the North Shore
Why they made it: Lonsdale Flooring has served the North Shore from its North Vancouver showroom since 1996, and carries a genuine BBB Accreditation with an A+ rating, not just a business listing. The team holds a 4.3 star average across 37 Google reviews, 29 of them five-star, and stocks a full range of carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank and tile from brands including Mohawk, Karastan and Shaw. Best for homeowners in North Vancouver and West Vancouver who want an established, independently accredited retailer with three decades on the North Shore.
Ramco Flooring & Tile Best in Surrey / Fraser Valley
Why they made it: Ramco has been in the flooring business since 1978, one of the longest continuous track records in the province, and now runs a Surrey location serving the Fraser Valley alongside its original Okanagan base. The team installs carpet, hardwood, natural stone, laminate, vinyl, linoleum and tile with in house crews. Best for homeowners in Surrey and the Fraser Valley who want a long established, full service flooring retailer.
Treskel Services Ltd Best for Renovation + Flooring
Why they made it: Treskel Services brings a perfect 5.0 star average across 37 Google reviews, with customers specifically calling out laminate installation, engineered hardwood and floor installation work alongside the company’s bathroom and kitchen renovation services. Based in Burnaby, this newer team, started in 2020, has built a clean, all five star track record fast. Best for homeowners who want their new floor coordinated as part of a larger renovation rather than a standalone job.
Our rankings are based on verified reviews gathered across multiple sources, not Google alone. We check Google rating and review volume, then cross reference against BBB accreditation and rating, plus HomeStars, Yelp, Houzz and TrustedPros where accessible. We weigh years in business using the most credible source we could verify, favouring confirmed BBB start dates over unverified marketing claims. We also credit real accreditation, such as BBB Accreditation, and any licensing, insurance or WorkSafeBC coverage the business has actually published, only listing a credential when it is independently confirmable or clearly self stated. Finally we weigh how much of Metro Vancouver each installer truly serves and how well their specialty fits the job. No installer pays for placement.

We do not publish cost estimates here because pricing varies too much by project. Every installer on this list will provide a written quote.
Tell us about your project and we’ll match you with vetted flooring installers from the list above. Free, no obligation.
Flooring cannot be quoted accurately from a form alone. An installer needs to see the layout, take proper measurements, and check the condition of the subfloor. That visit is what turns a rough guess into a number you can rely on.
Supply and installation, removal of your existing floor, disposal, floor levelling, baseboards (removed and reinstalled, or new baseboards supplied and installed), and furniture moving. Almost anything can be included, each at its corresponding cost, so ask about whatever you need.
Install quotes start at a 500 sq ft minimum.
