I'm Brody Rose. I run Rose and Thorn Flooring in Surrey, BC, an owner-operated flooring company working across White Rock, South Surrey, Langley, Cloverdale and the rest of the Fraser Valley. I've spent 12 years in flooring: hardwood, engineered, vinyl plank, laminate, stairs, baseboards and a lot of subfloor fixes.
I started this guide because the same questions come up on every single visit, and most of what people find online is either a manufacturer selling their own product or a generic article written by someone who's never knelt on a floor. You deserve straight answers.
How we keep it honest
- No paid placements. No brand or store pays to be mentioned, and we don't earn commission on flooring.
- Facts come from the source. Brand pages are checked against each maker's own warranty and spec documents, linked at the bottom of each page.
- Opinions are labelled as opinions. When we say "we'd pick this," that's from what we see on jobs, not a lab test.
- We say when we don't know. If we couldn't verify something, we leave it out.
- We fix mistakes. Text 604-716-4160 and we'll update the page.
Yes, we're a flooring company
We'd love to do your floor. But the guide is meant to be useful even if you hire someone else, or do it yourself. If it helps you make a better decision, it's done its job.
