Tianna ClarkeInitially, we thought carpets were just there to make our living space stand out. And while it provides comfort and warmth to our tired feet, it’s only when we had kids that I truly understood that it was so much more.
As my kids grew, I’ve seen countless times our carpet saved them from the intense impact of falls. And I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by the best carpet stores in Vancouver whenever I had to change them!
If you need help in choosing the best carpet for your home, keep reading this blog as we give you the best ones we’ve found in the city.
How much does a carpet cost in Vancouver?
In Vancouver, the typical cost for a basic carpet design can range from $1.50 to $15 per square foot. For custom-made and premium designs, the cost per square foot can go as high as $30.

We knew all about End of the Roll Flooring Centres while watching a renovation episode from a budget home improvement channel. That’s where we got the idea that these guys can cut and fit a big chunk of carpet, which costs less than an area rug.
If you plan to revamp your space but have limited time to visit the store, their sales team will send you sample photos and executions over email. And if you need to see them up close, they will send over different swatches that would fit your style preference.
If you want to get a quotation, you can just call them and they will send over someone to get the measurements. However, we had to call them again as they didn’t get back to us about our installation schedule.
Even if we got odd corners in our place, the two installers who came were meticulous enough to get the correct measurements. And true enough, the carpets were able to fit even the tiniest corners of our loft area.
Apart from the expert advice we get from the store personnel, we can also rely on the tips they frequently share on their social media pages. Well, we know that we can easily search for tips online, but we trust these flooring specialists even more!
Reliable team
“I was very happy with my experience here. Ethan was really helpful with information, organizing everything, and just being a good person to deal with. I would definitely recommend End of the Roll for anyone looking to put in new carpet. Helpful, reliable, flexible, and at a fair price. Ask for Ethan.”

During holidays, we always reach out to Burritt Brothers Carpet & Floors. Since we normally host Christmas dinners, we love changing our living room carpets every year so our guests could always see something different.
Since this carpet store has been around Vancouver since 1907, you can be confident that they offer high-quality ones that could last for years. True enough, my mom has a 15-year-old carpet from Burritt that’s still lying in our guest room now.
If you want a more luxurious feel, we suggest getting a 100% wool carpet. If you’ve got tiny kids around, it’s a great carpet to have in bedrooms or playrooms as this type has good sound absorption.
For those of you who prefer a pop of color, Tibetan wool carpets are available too. When we visited their showroom, we chose a few carpets with a shade of blue and yellow so we’re now ready for spring!
We also remember being torn with their different carpet selections, but we’re glad to deal with one of their best salesmen, Adam, who helped us pick the right carpet that will match our space and furniture.
And when it comes to installation, we appreciated the amount of help that we got from their installers while moving our furniture away. However, since they follow a meticulous process, installation may take more time than usual.
Keeps clients in the loop
“We re-carpeted our entrance way stairs with beautiful wool carpet from Burrett Bros. just before Christmas – a project we had been putting off for far too long! Dale MacMillan was fantastic to work with: helping us narrow down which kinds of carpets would be suitable for our needs, finding us samples, coming out to the North Shore to measure, keeping us informed of our install date, calling us to make sure everything was going smoothly, and following up. He was a pleasure to work with. The carpet installer was very skilled and was great at communicating what he was doing and how he was doing it. We’re delighted to have this project ticked off our list and to have received so many compliments on the new carpet!”

Good reputation
“Burrit Bros. Probably the oldest full service flooring dealer in the province and still owned and operated by Burritt lineage (Harvey Burritt & Son in Law Keith Donegani). Integrity in product representation and customer service by a long shot, Burritt Bros lives well up to their unblemished reputation! Excellent flooring consultation by knowledgeable staff like Carlos, Adam, Jen, Darren, Ashley and Dale just to name some and what a gorgeous showroom! Wool carpets to custom area rugs to prefinished hardwood flooring and other hard surfaces, Burritt has all the latest trends in interior fashion and sensible value. Highly recommended by many prominent Vancouverites and homeowners alike, Burritt delivers the straight goods even time!”

When we got a new puppy, we decided to let it stay in the house with us so my two-year old kid would grow up with a fur buddy always by his side.
While we took time to potty train, our little pup still had accidents along the way, leaving pee stains on our beige carpet.
Since we planned to change all our carpets at home, we knew we had to choose a carpet store that understands our new lifestyle.
That’s why we’re so glad to find out that Global Carpets & Hardwood offers carpets that are perfect for households with kids and pets. So if you’re like us, this carpet store is a perfect match for you.
Not to mention that they offer a 10-year warranty. It even covers stains and is soil-resistant, so you don’t need to worry about your dogs running straight to your living room after playing on the porch!
We also noticed that they have some of the most colorful carpet designs in the city, so if you’re a fan of bright colors, or maybe even plan to incorporate a Scandinavian touch in your space, then they’re a perfect choice for you.
Additionally, you shouldn’t miss out on their holiday carpet and rug selections during Christmas time. These variants are easy to clean too, so you can just store them in the garage after the season.
Accommodates rush carpet installation requests
“I had a rush job and Bashir helped me find a carpet match given the tight schedule. Very professional and easy to deal with. Price was reasonable and carpet installation completed in time for what was needed. Dale, carpet installer, did an excellent job. Highly recommend this place.”

When a friend asked us where to buy classic carpets, we knew we had to recommend Dream Carpets Ltd. While you won’t see intricate and sophisticated patterns here, you’ll be able to buy traditional-looking carpets, perfect if you prefer a minimalist look.
Of course, this carpet store still has a few selections of modern styles. They even have soft and plush carpets, which our children loved to have in their bedroom when they were younger.
If you’re working on a budget, you’ll love that they have a large selection of carpets that are affordable. We’re even surprised to see that some carpets come with free installation, which is really value for money!
Like most stores, there are still some premium carpets here, but overall, this one is a perfect place to shop especially if you’re planning to change all the carpets you have at home.
If you’re very particular with the seams, just like us, you’ll appreciate that their installers made sure there were no bumps or ridges while installing two carpets together. You can surely avoid tripping accidents, especially if you’ve got senior parents or kids at home.
Well, we weren’t surprised to see their meticulous work as these workers have been with them for more than 30 years. We were so happy, we even bought them a nice lunch along with a tip!
Professional approach from sale to installation
“Great experience. Good product at a very good price. Very professional during both sales and installation. I had our small office at the old Electra building redone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I am especially happy with the installation which was done on time without complaints even when challenges were encountered, and which cost the same as I was quoted on Craigslist. I was impressed when the installer’s sabre saw battery died (and then the spare died too) and I thought the install would have to go another day, but he had a spare wired sabre saw in the truck. That’s preparation. I will definitely be shopping here first for my future needs.”

Since we wanted our space to look like it has just been featured in an episode from HGTV channel, we contacted Banner Carpets for their high-quality carpets and designer series.
We recommend visiting their showroom so you can see all their carpet designs. You can see the custom-made carpets, which we’re pretty sure you haven’t seen elsewhere.
And yes, you can get those Pinterest boards up as this carpet store can assist you in making your inspiration come to life. They can even customize a special size for you–just imagine having a carpet as an accent to your room!
We also loved that they keep their swatches organized, allowing you to easily see similar textures altogether. And since they’re known to carry various shades of color, it may be too overwhelming to some, so it’s best to come in ready with your pegs.
If you’re looking for a great flooring option for your office space, we suggest getting their European carpet tiles. It’s highly durable, so it’s perfect for commercial spaces and offices with frequent foot traffic.
You don’t even have to worry about a longer downtime as this one’s easy to install–it won’t take the installers the entire day to finish a floor.
Beautiful selection of carpets
“I am an interior designer in the Vancouver BC area and have made Banner Carpets & Flooring my go-to showroom for years. The products are absolutely beautiful and service 2nd to none! Banner also has excellent installers which have made my clients very happy. I highly recommend Banner Carpets.”

“I’ve been using Banner for over 10 years…Chelsea & her team have always been available to help with my clients needs, provide samples and schedule installers for my hardwood or carpet projects. Love them!”
