Our Process

Our Flooring Process

Planning a flooring project in Fort Wayne, IN, should be exciting, and we’ve created a straightforward process that helps make every step easy to understand. At Floors by Michael, we’ll guide you from your first consultation through the completed installation with clear communication and personalized recommendations. Whether you’re updating a single room or your entire home, you’ll always know what comes next and feel confident about every decision you make.

A Flooring Experience Designed Around Your Needs

Every home is different, which is why we begin by learning about your goals before recommending products or discussing installation. We believe the best results come from listening first, answering your questions, and providing guidance that’s focused on your home, your style, and your budget.

From your complimentary design consultation through the final walkthrough, our team members will keep the process organized and easy to follow. We want choosing new flooring to feel enjoyable instead of overwhelming, allowing you to focus on the excitement of transforming your home.

Step 1: Schedule Your Complimentary Design Consultation

Every project starts with a conversation. Once you contact us, we’ll schedule a convenient time for your free design consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your flooring goals with one of our experienced team members.

We’ll talk about the rooms you’d like to update, your design preferences, the way you use each space, and any questions you have before moving forward. It’s a relaxed appointment that helps us understand exactly what you’re looking for while giving you valuable information from the very beginning.

Step 2: Shop for Flooring Without Leaving Home

Instead of asking you to imagine how flooring samples will look inside your home, we’ll bring them directly to you. Seeing different colors, textures, and materials in your own lighting makes comparing products much easier than relying on a showroom alone.

Being able to view samples next to your own furniture, cabinets, paint colors, and décor helps you make confident decisions because you’ll know exactly how your new floors will complement your space.

Step 3: Accurate Measurements and Project Planning

After you’ve narrowed down your flooring choices, we’ll take detailed measurements and evaluate the installation areas. This allows us to prepare for every stage of the project while making sure your flooring is ordered correctly.

We’ll also discuss any preparation that’s needed before installation begins and answer any additional questions you have. Taking the time to review these details helps keep your project organized from start to finish.

Step 4: Review Your Free Estimate

Once we’ve gathered the information we need, we’ll provide a free estimate that clearly outlines your flooring project. We’ll review the products you’ve selected, explain the pricing, and discuss the anticipated installation schedule so everything is easy to understand.

If you’d like to compare additional flooring options before making a final decision, we’ll gladly help you review those choices as well. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable moving forward without any uncertainty.

Step 5: Professional Installation

When you’re ready to begin, we’ll schedule your installation at a convenient time. Our team members will prepare the work area, install your new flooring with careful attention to detail, and keep you informed throughout the project.

Once the installation is complete, we’ll review the finished work with you to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the results. We take pride in delivering flooring that’s both beautiful and professionally installed, so you can feel confident that you’ll love the results.

Step 6: Enjoy Your New Floors

The final step is the most rewarding because it’s time to enjoy the transformation of your home. New flooring refreshes your living spaces, adds comfort, and creates an updated appearance that complements your personal style.

Whether you’ve selected carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, or another flooring option, you’ll have beautiful new floors that are ready for everyday living.
