What to Expect From a Free In-Home Flooring Estimate with Absolute Flooring and Design

Absolute Flooring and Design started in 2013 the way a lot of good companies do - small, and a little scrappy. Jamie VanTuinen began the business out of his own garage in Wyoming, Michigan, with nothing guaranteed except a willingness to outwork the competition. As Jamie puts it, 'we didn't inherit our business, we risked it all.' Flooring runs deep in Jamie's family too - he's a third-generation flooring professional, which means the craftsmanship you see on our jobs isn't something we picked up from a training video. More than a decade later, that garage has grown into a boutique showroom right here in The Greater Grand Rapids Area, but the way we treat customers hasn't changed at all.

Why We Bring the Showroom to You

Flooring is hard to picture from a tiny sample chip under fluorescent store lighting. It looks completely different under your own windows, next to your cabinets, against the paint you already picked. So instead of asking you to guess in our showroom, we load up real, full-size samples and bring them to your living room. You get to see exactly how a floor will look in the space it's actually going into - no imagination required.

What Actually Happens During Your Visit

• We show up at a time that works for your schedule - same-day appointments are often available.
• You walk us through the rooms and tell us what's bothering you about the current floor.
• We bring samples across carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and laminate so you can compare materials side by side in your own lighting.
• We measure every room precisely and check subfloor condition, since that affects both price and installation timeline.
• We walk you through financing options - including 0% APR with equal payments up to 60 months - if you'd rather not pay it all up front.
• You leave the visit with one clear, complete price. No mystery add-ons later.

Residential and Commercial, Same Personal Approach

While most of our estimates are for homeowners, we do just as much work with property managers and commercial clients across The Greater Grand Rapids Area - and we run those projects with the same attention to detail. See our full range of work on the services page, or if you manage multiple units or a commercial space, check out our commercial flooring capabilities.

We know there are a lot of flooring companies to choose from in West Michigan. What we hope sets us apart is that you're working with the same family that started this thing in a garage back in 2013 - not a call center.
