Company Background
About Ken's Carpets & Urban Home Style Centre
Ken's Carpets and Urban Home Style Centre has been selling floors from 730 Archibald Street since 1965, according to its website, which makes it one of the longest-running flooring stores in this list. The store carries carpet and remnants, hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, sheet vinyl, ceramic and porcelain tile, cork and area rugs, and advertises a large in-stock selection that customers can pick up the same day. It also says it is the only store in Winnipeg with a Shaw Flooring Gallery, and it offers free in-store designers and a free in-home design consultation.
Insurance work is a recurring theme. Natalie was directed to Ken's through an insurance claim and wrote that Tim was responsive by email, knew the claim process and that the install crew was professional and communicative. Another reviewer said the crew made them forget how stressful their insurance claim had been. Elsewhere, Bill credited Nikki with matching his needs to the right product and installer, Gail said salesperson Rob worked to make her project more affordable and found installers quickly, and Brent said Kimberly beat a competitor's price on Shaw maple flooring that was wrapped on a skid for his truck.
The reviews are not uniformly glowing. Among the most recent set, one 1-star review complains about the owner's manner and about pricing, and the overall rating of 4.5 from 99 Google reviews, read November 1, 2026, is the lowest of the five companies in this list, though it clears the minimum used for the ranking. The store's website shows a Better Business Bureau seal but does not publish licence details or warranty terms. Hours are 8:30 to 5 on weekdays, 10 to 2 on Saturday, with after-hours appointments available, and it is closed Sunday.
It suits homeowners who want to see and buy flooring on the spot, anyone dealing with an insurance claim, and shoppers comparing prices on vinyl plank and carpet. It suits less well someone looking for hardwood refinishing or a full renovation contractor. Before booking, ask for the quote in writing, confirm who installs the floor, and ask whether the advertised sale price applies to your product.
