About Us

Steve has been in carpet and flooring in both Tauranga and internationally all of his life.  Growing up with a love of carpets in his family flooring business, Steve is the third generation following in his family’s flooring footsteps. Steve’s vast experience allows him to hand-pick the best suppliers, products, installers and team to deliver our customers real value, with real family values.  This is a special experience that combines our passion, commitment and care… that you won’t experience with the big corporate flooring companies.
Along with this we’ve also got the largest flooring warehouse in the Bay of Plenty. It’s massive! Which means we can buy in bulk like no-one else can, and pass on the savings directly to you. Got questions? Contact us today!

The Flooring Room Tauranga

Steve

Owner of The Flooring Room

Being a third generation flooring guy I was born with “fluff in my veins”. I ran the national product program for NZ’s biggest flooring chain but when they sold to an Australian private equity I decided it was time to fulfil my dream of creating The Flooring Room. I put my name to every job and am extremely proud of what we can do for you.
