About Your Flooring Warehouse
Founded in 1988 by J.D. Manning, our company started with a bold but simple philosophy: high volume, low margin, low overhead, and no nonsense. That straightforward approach struck a chord with customers and grew our business into one of the top ten independent flooring retailers in the entire Southeast.
Today, we proudly operate three massive warehouse stores in Saint Petersburg, Tampa, and New Port Richey—each packed with millions of square feet of carpet, hardwood, laminate, and tile purchased by the truckload from premier manufacturers. Our newest store, Your Flooring Warehouse, marks our first venture into the Sarasota/Bradenton market.
This location was built on deep research into how people really shop for flooring and what they actually want: honesty, speed, value, and an easier way to buy. That’s why when you visit us, you’ll find name-brand flooring at warehouse pricing, a straightforward process, and a friendly team (including our four-legged greeters, Biscuit the Lab and John Wick the Aussie Shepherd).

Customer Reviews
Betty Newcomb
Wow What a great experience. Started in the show room I pick 6 diffrent vinyl tile wood examples and took them home kept them about 6 weeks returned them with my choice and got estimates from 3 installers didn't go with the cheapest but I am beyond happy with my choice they were in and 2 days later I had 3 bedrooms and a huge closet completed along with painted base boards throughout our 2,200. Sq ft home. I'm very picky and they were simply amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend Your Flooring Warehouse and ABSOLUTE FLOORING LLC owner Tom Schneider

I hired Tom Schneider (Absolute Flooring ) to install 2500+ sq ft of LVP/luxury vinyl plank flooring in my home. He recommended that I use 'Your Flooring Warehouse' for the materials. The order was placed, arrived on time & was in excellent condition. Tom Schneider & his crew (Don, Mike & Dave) were professional & efficient. I appreciate their attention to details, and the constant evaluations that everything was going 'in' correctly as the job ensued. They arrived as scheduled; they never wasted time. They were fast without sacrificing quality. They finished the job yesterday & I really like the new look.

Without a doubt the best overall experience from beginning to end on the purchase and installation of vinyl plank flooring that I have ever experienced. Peter was easy to work with on the purchase and worked hard to get me what I wanted at the price point I needed to be at. The installation was performed by Tom Schneider who was over and above the best installer I have ever worked with. His cleanliness and attention to detail was fully noticed down to the finishing touches. I would highly recommend that you ask for Tom Schneider when have your new floor installed. Thanks again
