Welcome to Decor Carpet One Floor & Home- your local flooring store in King County, Washington! If you're wondering who we are, where we came from, and why we’re obsessed with what you walk on every day, you’ve landed in the right spot. We aren't just a store that sells carpets and wood flooring in Washington; we’re a piece of local history with a whole lot of personality. Whether you're in Bellevue or Tukwila, WA, we’re your neighbors, your King County flooring experts, and the team that makes sure your home looks as awesome as you do. Let’s dive into our story!

The Origin Story: How It All Started in King County, WA

Every great superhero has an origin story, and so do we. Way back in 1967, a visionary named John Gentry decided it was time to change the way people thought about floors. He didn't just want to sell tiles and carpets; he wanted to create a place where families could find the perfect foundation for their lives. John started this business with a simple dream: to offer incredible flooring that people could actually afford, installed by people who actually knew what they were doing. It wasn't about being the biggest; it was about being the best for the families in our community.

Fast forward to today, and that dream is still alive and kicking. We are proud to be family-owned and operated. That means when you walk through our local flooring stores in King County, WA, you aren't just a customer number in a giant corporate database. You’re practically family.

The Legend Continues

Recently, our original owner (the legendary John Gentry) officially retired. But here’s the cool part—he’s still active! Like a master Jedi who can’t quite put down the lightsaber, he’s still around, sharing his wisdom and making sure we stick to the values that made us famous.

What Makes Us Totally Different?

Okay, we know what you’re thinking. "It’s just flooring, right?" Wrong! Not all flooring stores are created equal. We stand out from the crowd like a neon rug in a room full of beige.

Here is what sets us apart:

Local Roots, Global Power: We are part of the Carpet One cooperative. This means we are locally owned (yay for supporting local business!), but we have the buying power of over 1,000 stores worldwide. We get the best stuff at the lowest prices, and we pass those savings on to you.
The "Beautiful Guarantee": We are so confident you’ll love your floor that if you don't, we’ll replace it for free. Yes, really. It’s like a reset button for your room.
Expert Installation: You can buy the fanciest wood in the world, but if it’s installed wrong, it’s going to look terrible. We live by our motto: "Flooring expertly installed at a fair price."

Our Values: The Code We Live By

Just like in your favorite video game, we follow a strict code. Our values aren't just words on a wall; they influence everything we do, from how we answer the phone to how we glue down a plank.

Honesty: No hidden fees, no tricks. We tell it like it is.
Quality: We don't sell junk. If we wouldn't put it in our own mom’s house, we won’t put it in yours.
Community: We love Bellevue and Tukwila. We live here, we shop here, and we support our communities.

The Cool Stuff We Sell in Bellevue & Tukwila, WA

We are like a candy store, but for your house. We have textures, colors, and styles that can transform a boring room into a masterpiece.

Carpet: From super squishy soft carpets perfect for gaming on the floor, to tough ones that can handle a muddy dog running through the house.
Hardwood: Classic, elegant, and totally timeless. It’s like the leather jacket of flooring.
Luxury Vinyl: This is the superhero of floors. It looks like wood or stone but is waterproof and super durable. Spilled a soda? No problem.
Laminate & Tile: Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where things get messy.

But we don’t just sell the stuff; we install it. Our installation team is made up of pros who treat your home with respect. They measure twice, cut once, and clean up after themselves.

Who Are We Here For?

You! And your parents, your neighbors, and that cool aunt who just bought a condo. Our target audience is anyone who wants their home to feel special.

We know our customers want:

Durability: Floors that can survive pets, parties, and pizza nights.
Style: Designs that look like they came straight out of a magazine.
Ease: A shopping experience that isn't stressful or confusing.

We get it. Picking a floor is a big decision, and we are here to make it fun, not scary.

From 1967 to the Future: A King County Success Story

We’ve seen a lot of trends come and go since 1967. Remember shag carpet? We were there. Remember when everyone wanted linoleum in weird patterns? We were there for that too. Over the decades, we have evolved from a small local shop to a flooring powerhouse with two major locations. We’ve embraced technology, updated our showrooms, and expanded our selection. But through all the changes, our heart has stayed the same. We are still that family business John started, just with cooler gadgets and even better floors.

Awards & High Fives

We don’t like to brag (okay, maybe a little), but we’ve picked up some shiny trophies along the way. These awards are like getting an A+ on a really hard test. They show that we are committed to excellence. Being recognized by our community and the flooring industry proves that hard work pays off. It tells you that when you hire us, you’re hiring a winning team. We strive for excellence because "good enough" is never good enough for your home.

Happiness Guaranteed: Our Customer Service Vibe

How do we make sure you’re smiling when we leave? Simple. We listen.

We don’t try to sell you the most expensive thing in the store. We ask questions about your life. Do you have a giant dog? Do you like to walk around barefoot? Is your house a high-traffic zone? Once we know what you need, we guide you to the perfect match. And if something goes wrong? We fix it. Our approach to customer service is to treat you like a friend, not a transaction. We want you to be so happy that you tell all your friends, "You gotta go to Decor Carpet One!"

Staying trendy (So You Don't Have To)

Fashion changes fast. One minute, grey floors are in, the next minute, everyone wants blonde wood. How do we keep up? We are constantly learning. We go to big flooring conventions (yes, those exist!) to see the newest technology and designs before they hit the shelves.

We learn about:

New waterproof tech: So you can have wood-look floors in the bathroom.
Eco-friendly options: Floors made from recycled materials that save the planet.
Smart fibers: Carpets that resist stains better than ever before.

By staying on the cutting edge, we bring the latest and greatest directly to Bellevue and Tukwila. This benefits you because you get access to the most durable, stylish, and modern floors on the market.
