Shopping for new floors usually means visiting one store for samples, another for pricing, and a third to find someone who can actually install the stuff. The Floor Store, with two locations in North Chesterfield and Henrico cuts that process down by handling the full job in-house, from the first look at a sample board to the final walk-through after installation.
A Different Kind of Flooring Trip
The family-operated retailer on Carmia Way and Broad Street stocks carpet, hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl, tile and area rugs from established brands, giving shoppers room to compare materials side by side instead of hopping between showrooms. For a homeowner trying to decide between hardwood and luxury vinyl for a busy kitchen, that kind of direct comparison matters. Samples look different under a store's lighting than they will at home, and having several flooring types in one place makes the decision easier to picture.
The business serves homeowners, residential property owners and businesses that need commercial flooring, which means the inventory has to work for a wide range of projects. A property manager replacing carpet in a rental unit has different priorities than a homeowner picking tile for a bathroom remodel. Carrying products across categories lets The Floor Store meet both without sending customers elsewhere.
Beyond the Sale
What sets The Floor Store apart isn't just the product selection. It's what happens after a customer picks a material. The company offers installation, design consultation and financing, so the same team that helped choose a floor can also help pay for it and put it down correctly. That continuity reduces the number of contractors a homeowner has to vet and schedule, which is often the most stressful part of a renovation.
The store also provides services that go beyond standard flooring work. Hardwood restoration gives homeowners with existing wood floors an option short of full replacement, useful for older Richmond-area homes where original hardwood may just need refinishing rather than tearing out. Carpet binding serves customers who need remnants or cut pieces finished for use as rugs or stair runners, a detail-oriented service not every flooring retailer offers.
Custom Showers Round Out the Offering
Perhaps the most distinct part of the business is custom shower installation, a service that places The Floor Store closer to a full-service renovation resource than a typical flooring shop. Homeowners planning a bathroom update can source shower materials and flooring in the same visit, coordinating tile choices across both spaces instead of guessing how separate purchases will look together.
This matters more than it might seem. Tile that looks right on a shower wall sample doesn't always match flooring picked out weeks earlier from a different supplier. Handling both under one roof removes that risk and keeps the design consistent from floor to ceiling.
Built for the Richmond Market
Both the North Chesterfield and Henrico stores sit in a part of the Richmond metro area with a steady mix of older homes needing restoration work and newer construction where buyers want to personalize flooring before moving in. The Floor Store's range of products and services positions it to serve both groups without forcing either into a one-size-fits-all showroom experience.
For homeowners comparing laminate flooring against luxury vinyl, or weighing the cost of hardwood restoration against full replacement, having a design consultant and installer in the same business streamlines decisions that can otherwise drag on for weeks. Financing options also mean budget doesn't have to be the deciding factor before someone even sees the full product lineup.
