About the Floor Store

Your Trusted Local Flooring Partner

When you're looking for a local flooring company that combines decades of expertise with unbeatable value, The Floor Store stands apart. Founded on the principle that quality flooring should be accessible to everyone, we've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time in Idaho Falls and the surrounding communities.

Our Story

Three Decades of Flooring Excellence

The Floor Store began with a simple yet powerful idea: what if a flooring company was actually run by someone who installs floors every day? With over three decades of hands-on installation experience, our owner continues to work in the field, ensuring every product we sell meets the rigorous standards of a professional installer.

This installer-led approach shapes everything we do. We won't sell you something that looks good in the showroom but fails in real-world conditions. Every carpet, tile, hardwood plank, and luxury vinyl product has been "installer-approved" because we know what works and what doesn't.

Our flooring company history is built on a foundation of honest pricing and expert knowledge. By eliminating commissioned salespeople and maintaining low overhead, we pass substantial savings directly to our customers—often 30-50% below what you'll find at big box stores for the exact same products.

Our Mission

Quality, Value, and Trust

At The Floor Store, our mission is straightforward: deliver exceptional flooring solutions that exceed expectations while maintaining the trust our community has placed in us. We believe in:
Transparency in pricing
No hidden fees, no commission-driven upselling
Quality without compromise
Every product must meet our installer's standards
Customer education
Helping you make informed decisions for your specific needs
Long-term relationships
Your satisfaction matters more than any single sale
Our values drive us to source directly from manufacturers, often purchasing entire truckloads to secure the best possible pricing. This volume buying power means we can offer premium products at prices that sometimes undercut our competitors' wholesale costs.
