Area Floors is a service-oriented floor-covering boutique where we are more interested in matching customers with the best long-term flooring solution that with gaining a short-term sale. Everything we do is guided by a commitment to doing it right the first time while offering a competitive price. As a result, some things are a little different at Area Floors.Other stores place a lot of work and responsibility on the customer in terms of researching which flooring option is right for them material, finish, installation method, price and interior design coordination. If you are lucky enough to flag down a staff-person, they are often not equipped to answer these questions. We are already experts on these things, and are here to listen to your needs, ask questions, and guide you through the selection process. Come in and let us do the work for you that's why we're here.
We are a woman-owned and nearly and all-women operated business. This gives us a bit of an advantage over the typical floor-covering store. We are mothers, grandmothers, wives, and proud home-keepers who have a keen understanding of how families put serious wear and tear on floors. We are full of tips on how best to maintain and clean your floors from specific cleaning products to DIY mixtures. Our senior design consultants bring years of interior design experience to the table when giving our free design consultations. They also bring a compassionate intuition that comes from personal experience of how a home is an expression of those who live in it. Just like you we want it all price and beauty. You can count on us to be thrifty fashionistas when it comes to flooring materials we seek out today's designs at a great price.

Brandy Marsh
CEO
The founder of The Carpet Place recognized early on that employee Brandy Marsh would make a great business owner. After working in fast food and retail jobs while attending Portland's Marshall High School, Brandy answered an ad at the school's career center, and went to work doing clerical work, cleaning, putting away samples, and other odd jobs.
After four years, owner John Rollin, who founded the company in 1967, asked if she would be interested in buying it. Brandy bought the company and its two stores in 2003, and continued to retain John as a consultant and mentor. When John died suddenly of a heart attack in the summer of 2004, Brandy realized that it was now all up to her to make the critical decisions. She quickly developed a passion for being a business owner, hiring and motivating employees. She became active in the Young Entrepreneurs Organization. Read more

Josh has been amazing helping my husband and I order our flooring and backsplash for our kitchen remodel. He was patient with us while making decisions and was willing to answer any questions we had regarding the orders. He kept us in loop frequently about when our orders should be arriving and we appreciate the continual communication. We will definitely be using Area floors in the future and recommend Josh to everyone!

It's been wonderful to be able to take clients to Area Floors showroom in Lake Oswego to show them the latest and greatest in surface and flooring materials. I truly value the help I get from the staff as they are there to answer all of our questions, help find and source materials and place orders. It's always a great experience working with Josh Pohs, Andrea Nguyen, and Dawn who greets you with a smile every time you walk in the showroom.

Josh at Area floors was the best thing that happened to our remodel. Josh was amazing no project was too small for him. Before Area Floors we went to another recommended tile, floor countertop place they made us feel insignificant. Josh helped us with 2 bathrooms, kitchen and entire house wood floors with Grand Savoy Vicomte. We love it all thank you Area Floors and especially Josh!

Michelle has been a dream to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I feel 100% comfortable sending my clients to her showroom with or without me. She is super responsive which goes a long way with me as a designer. Her follow through and professionalism are a huge asset. She is like having your own flooring expert on your design team!

Kat Powell at Area Flooring was great to work with during my kitchen remodel. She quickly picked up on my design style and offered up many great options for flooring, countertops, and tile. She was very patient with me while I made sure I looked thru all the options and during my decision making process. I absolutely love my kitchen and new floors. Thank you Kat and Area Flooring!

I'm a busy remodeler, and I've been using Area Floors to buy all our tile and flooring for over three years.and that's three years without any issues. I work with Michelle in Tigard (moving to Lake O), and Benie in Clackamas. I meet my clients in one of their showrooms, and we have fun picking out tile and flooring. (Our remodels tend to be more uniquely stylized, nothing formulaic.) All showroom staff at Area Floors are knowledge of the different flooring types (wood, LVT, sheet vinyl, and carpeting), and they always help guide us to our final choices based on budget, room, style and expected wear & tear.
I can't count how many orders I've placed through Area Floors (a lot!), and they're always prompt and accurate at ordering our materials, and good at communicating due dates. Their warehouse is a huge added bonus, and the guys working the warehouse are also good communicators. It's all good with Area Floors!

I have been a designer for many years and have used Area Floors for a long time with great results. Michelle has been my consultant at Area Floors for the past 3 years and has been so helpful for me and my clients. Michelle takes time with helping with design ideas on color, application & keeping the project on track with the budget.
