Michael's still buys flooring the way its namesake, Michael Meadows, did in Dalton, Georgia, in the early 1980s: direct from the mills, picking up overages and mill packages at wholesale. It credits that habit for its pricing and runs its own trucks to keep supply steady. The Greenville store opened in 1996 and remains family-run, managed since 2011 by his son, Daniel.
Much of the carpet, luxury vinyl, and laminate is in stock, alongside hardwood and special orders, and the store's own crews handle installation. Cabinets joined the showroom in 2022, ready-to-assemble through semi-custom, with kitchen design help on hand.
Reviews keep naming the same things: quotes that beat other bids, salespeople who don't push the pricier option, and installers careful with the furniture. Repeat buyers show up often, some going back more than twenty years.
