Flooring installation in Burnaby and across Metro Vancouver
Vinyl plank, engineered hardwood and tile — in one room or right through the home, with the floor underneath put right first.
A new floor is only as flat and as quiet as what it sits on. Taking up the old floor, checking the subfloor and levelling it is the unglamorous part of the job, and the part that decides whether the new one squeaks, gaps or lifts.
We lay floors as a job on their own or as part of a renovation, and where it suits the home we run one floor through several rooms without a change of material at every doorway.
What it includes
- Removal and disposal of the old floor
- Subfloor repairs and levelling
- Luxury vinyl and rigid-core plank
- Engineered hardwood
- Tile floors, including bathrooms
- Baseboards and transitions
Good to have ready before we talk
- The rooms involved, and rough square footage
- What is down now, and what you would like instead
- For a condo, your strata’s flooring rules if you have them

The floor underneath
Before anything new goes down we look at what is under the old floor: soft spots, dips, squeaks and moisture. Levelling an uneven subfloor is what keeps a new floor flat and quiet.
Choosing the material
Vinyl plank is waterproof and hard-wearing — the usual choice for condos, basements and rentals. Engineered hardwood is real wood over a stable core, and handles Vancouver’s damp better than solid wood. Tile belongs in bathrooms and entries.
One floor through the home
In the Vancouver tower apartment on this page, wood-look flooring runs unbroken from the living area through the hallway to the bedrooms, with no change of material at the kitchen.
Condos and strata rules
Many strata buildings set rules on flooring — often an acoustic underlay, so the unit below does not hear every step — and on working hours. We check the bylaws before anything is ordered.
What it typically costs
Priced by the square foot, installed. The floor you choose matters less than the state of the floor underneath it.
| Scope | Usually includes | Typical rangeper square foot, installed |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl plank | Luxury vinyl or rigid-core plank, the usual choice for condos and basements | $3–$10 |
| Engineered hardwood | Real wood over a stable core, which handles Vancouver’s damp better than solid wood | $5–$20 |
Levelling an uneven subfloor usually adds $2–$5 per square foot, and matters most in older homes.
A typical range to help you plan — not our price. Your project could come in lower or higher, depending on the work and the materials.
