Our client is a well-established, full-service commercial and residential flooring contractor based in the Greater Kansas City area, offering everything from design consultation through self-performed installation across hardwood, carpet, tile, LVT, LVP, and more. Founded on a commitment to craftsmanship and customer experience, this is a team that takes pride in doing the work right and winning the work worth doing.
