Ottawa's housing stock ranges from century-old Glebe homes with original hardwood to new Barrhaven builds needing their first floor, and the city has a deep bench of flooring companies to match. This list was put together from public review platforms (Google, Houzz, BBB, Birdeye), company websites, and customer testimonials found across those sources. It leans toward businesses with a documented history in the region and a consistent pattern of positive feedback, rather than the newest listing on a directory page.
1. Rome Flooring
Area: Ottawa and Nepean · Specialty: custom hardwood installation and refinishing · Rating: 5 on Houzz · Since: 1969
Rome Flooring, based on Antares Drive in Nepean, has one of the longest operating histories on this list and carries an A+ Better Business Bureau rating alongside a perfect Houzz score. Customers point to its in-store selection of engineered hardwoods and to installation crews who handle sanding, staining, and full refinishing of older floors, not just new installs. It suits homeowners restoring original hardwood in an older Ottawa house as much as those installing from scratch.
2. Westboro Flooring & Decor
Area: Ottawa and Kingston · Specialty: hardwood, vinyl, laminate, tile, and carpet · Rating: 4.6 on Google (219 reviews)
Westboro Flooring runs a showroom model that carries nearly every flooring category under one roof, with a dedicated after-care team that stays involved from material selection through to the installation crew's final walkthrough. Reviewers consistently mention the range of product lines available to compare in person. It's a good fit for anyone who wants to see and feel several flooring types side by side before committing.
3. Advantage Floor
Area: Ottawa and Nepean · Specialty: hardwood, luxury vinyl, and carpet installation · Rating: 4.8 on Houzz
Run by owner Jay Behl for more than a decade, Advantage Floor operates an appointment-only showroom on Fireweed Trail and carries hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, and natural stone. Customer feedback highlights the personal attention from Behl himself and the ease of getting a free in-home estimate. It works well for buyers who want a smaller, owner-run shop over a big-box flooring chain.
4. Canada Hardwood Flooring
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: hardwood installation, repair, and refinishing · Since: 1990
Owned by Nino Motta, Canada Hardwood Flooring is a small, privately run operation that has served Ottawa since 1990, focused specifically on hardwood: new installs, repairs, and refinishing of existing floors. It offers free, no-obligation in-home appointments rather than a retail showroom. This one suits homeowners who want a specialist dealing only in hardwood rather than a full multi-category flooring store.
5. Logs End
Area: Ottawa, showroom in Stittsville · Specialty: custom and river-reclaimed wide-plank hardwood · Rating: 4.5 on Houzz · Since: 1997
Logs End is Canadian-owned and has built its reputation on authentic Canadian-milled wood, including historic old-growth and river-reclaimed flooring, sold out of an award-winning showroom on Iber Road. Customers cite the quality of the raw material as much as the installation itself, and the professionalism of the crews sent to lay it. It's the pick for a homeowner after a distinctive, high-end wide-plank floor rather than a standard engineered product.
6. H-Wood Flooring
Area: Ottawa, including Kanata and Orleans · Specialty: hardwood, vinyl, and laminate installation
H-Wood Flooring markets itself on transparent, no-hidden-fee quoting, and testimonials on its own site from Kanata and Orleans clients back up the emphasis on clear pricing before work begins. It handles both residential and commercial installs. Homeowners who have been burned by vague estimates elsewhere are the clearest fit here.
7. Jack Built
Area: Ottawa and Stittsville · Specialty: basement, tile, and hardwood flooring installation
Jack Built is a broader renovation company out of Stittsville that folds flooring into larger basement, kitchen, and bathroom projects, backed by a written warranty. Reviewers describe organized, clean job sites and easy communication with the crew throughout a project. It's best suited to homeowners doing flooring as part of a bigger renovation rather than a standalone floor swap.
8. Flooring Liquidators Ottawa
Area: Ottawa, locations on Colonnade Road and Old Innes Road · Specialty: hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet · Rating: 4.5 (353 reviews, Birdeye)
With two Ottawa locations, Flooring Liquidators leans on volume and selection, offering heated flooring options alongside the standard categories and installers that reviewers rate highly for the finished product. The scale of the operation means more in-stock inventory to browse than at a smaller boutique shop. It suits buyers comparing a lot of price points and materials in one visit.
9. On Point Renovations
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: flooring installation as part of full renovations · Since: 2020
Founded by two Ottawa-based tradespeople with a combined 18 years of construction experience, On Point Renovations is younger than most names on this list but has built a consistent run of five-star feedback, with customers naming lead Greg specifically for professionalism and smooth project execution. It covers flooring alongside kitchen and general renovation work. A good option for someone who wants one contractor managing flooring plus other renovation work at the same time.
10. GC Flooring
Area: Ottawa and Nepean · Specialty: hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl · Since: 1995
GC Flooring has operated out of Colonnade Road in Nepean since 1995, offering both an in-store showroom and online ordering for hardwood, laminate, and luxury vinyl. It serves residential and commercial clients under one roof. Homeowners who prefer to order flooring online after an in-person look at samples will find that combination here.
How We Built This List
This list was compiled from public web sources, including Google Business listings, Houzz, the Better Business Bureau, Birdeye, and each company's own website and testimonials page. It is not a paid placement and no business on it has any affiliation with ottown or its operator. Ratings, review counts, and founding years are included only where a source for that specific figure was found; several entries omit a numeric rating because none could be verified. Last reviewed August 2026.
