About Us Lakeside Floor Coverings | Trusted Flooring Experts

Your Guiding Compass for Premium Flooring

Lakeside Floor Coverings began for a simple reason: we have a passion for the Minnesota lifestyle and providing a better flooring service for our neighbors. What started as a focused hardwood installation team in 2009 has evolved into a premier, woman-owned retail and installation powerhouse. We’ve been helping Twin Cities homeowners navigate the sea of flooring options with professional guidance and in-house expertise.

We aren't your typical big box retailers, either. We are a different type of floor store — one that combines a curated showroom experience with the technical grit of a professional contractor. For over 15 years, we’ve served as a steady compass for homeowners, high-end designers, and contractors, ensuring that every project stays on course from the first measurement to the final plank.

The Lakeside Difference: Why We’re Your Flooring Captains

Selecting the right flooring is more than just picking a color — it’s about navigating a sea of technical choices and ensuring the final result is built to last. At Lakeside Floor Coverings, we provide the steady hand and professional expertise you need to turn your vision into a reality without the stress. From our local roots in the Twin Cities to our specialized in-house labor, every aspect of our business is designed to provide a premium, smooth sailing experience for the discerning homeowner.

Your One-Stop Flooring Crew

We bridge the gap between retail and contracting by offering a complete, end-to-end solution—from design guidance in our showroom to professional in-house installation. While most companies hire random subcontractors, we employ our own dedicated installation crew, giving us absolute control over the quality, craftsmanship, and scheduling of your project.

Expert Navigation, No Pressure

Because our team does not work on commission, our primary goal is to act as your expert compass, leading you to the best products for your lifestyle and budget rather than the most expensive option. As a local, woman-owned business with over 15 years of experience, we’ve built a reputation as a stable, trustworthy partner that stands by its work and is here for the long haul.

Tailored to Your Flooring Voyage

Whether you are a homeowner seeking luxury wool carpets or a high-end designer needing custom hardwood patterns, we provide the specific expertise and high-quality products your project demands. We don't just lay new floors; we are experts in the difficult art of hardwood refinishing and restoration, helping you preserve the history and value of your home.

We are very pleased with our experience with Lakeside flooring, from our first meeting to the installation everyone was professional and made sure everything was completed to our satisfaction the first time. It was done when we were told it would be. The floor looks great, they put the baseboard back on. We are very satisfied and would recommend them.

They did a great job. We had carpet installed in two of our bedrooms. They helped me pick out the carpet by asking about my needs and uses of the carpet. They kept me informed along the way. On install day they were great too. They even noticed some maintenance that was needed in the hallway and repaired that as well, no extra charge.
