They have a wide variety of products to meet any price point and an incredibly knowedgeable and helpful staff that we always enjoy working with. We have used Champion for numerous client projects over the years and every time they have provided us with excellent service as well as a beautiful finished product. We always appreciate their attention to detail and level of care and highly recommend them! **Comment from Champion Floor Company:** > Thanks so much for taking time to leave us such a wonderful review! **★★★★★ — Robert Preis, April 2018** > We recently had Champion install new carpeting in 3 bedrooms. Ralph the boss gave us the estimate personally and also gave us good tips on installing the hardwood flooring that we did ourselves. The installers were very professional and fast. We will use Champion again. Ralph and his family are great neighbors too! **★★★★★ — LU Design Build, Dec. 2017** > Champion has been a breath of fresh air for my team and I. Ralph and his team have completed multiple projects with us and for our clients. Their service and responsiveness are unbeatable! I would highly recommend Champion to my closest friends and relatives =\] **★★★★★ — mvain88, Nov. 2015** > Champion Floor Company is a breath of fresh air! Renovations can be a stressful experience, but Champion made the experience so much more enjoyable. They were on-time every day and finished the job before the expected date. Their installers were respectful of my home and have an eye for detail and clearly take pride in their work. I would highly recommend Champion Floor Company!! **★★★★★ — Kristi Bright, March 2015** > If you’re thinking about doing some renovation on your home and have never done it before you’ll soon realize how important it is to hire a company that knows how to treat people. If you’re plans include flooring then Champion is the place to go! Ralph and all of his employees are the nicest people you will find, they are honest, genuine, trustworthy, considerate and professional. We’ve recently completed a major remodel which included a massive custom flooring project that was finished to perfection by Champion Floor. When the owner Ralph first came out to bid the job we spent the first hour or so talking about Grandkids, we kept talking until my General Contractor asked us if we knew each other. We didn’t, it was the first time we ever met but I knew before we even began talking business that he was the one we were going to go with and I’m so glad we did. Everyone that works for Ralph has his same qualities and that is something rare these days but it isn’t surprising, good people attract good people and these folks really care! They did an awesome job and I would recommend Champion Floor to anyone! Thanks Ralph and everyone there! See you next time. **★★★★★ — Laura Ziemann Interiors, Oct. 2014** > I'm a designer that has worked with Champion Flooring, I would say their workmanship and customer service is top notch! They worked with a client of mine on wood flooring, area rugs, floor and wall tile and a carpet stair runner. All turned out beautiful and affordable!! I would definitely work with them in the future! **Comment from Champion Floor Company:** > Thanks Laura! We enjoyed working with you and your client. **★ — footsoldier13, June 2014** > Worst experience imaginable. The floor they installed came unglued in the middle of the entry way 1 week after they installed it. The repair is the most pathetic workmanship I've ever seen. Do yourself a favor and go any where else for your floor. **★★★★★ — chadwal85, June 2014** > What a great company! It starts with their amazing show room, vast choices of products, and the best customer service around. Our designer friend, who is working with my mother-in-law recommended Champion Floor for basement flooring - carpet and other flooring choices. My mother-in-law's basement has been having a water issue on and off over the years. Instead of just selling the flooring - Champion recommended solving the water problem first - and even provided names of companies to work with on the issue. After the water problem was fixed, Champion completed the project on time, within budget, and with no headaches. A credit to their honesty and professionalism. Our designer said they were the best to work with - and we agree! I also discovered they can do sports team logos on hardwood floors - like what you would see on basketball courts. They'll be getting a call soon for the flooring behind the bar in the man-cave! **★★★★★ — Brian Douglas, June 2014** > We moved into a home that had carpet in the bathroom and was in serious need of an update. Champion was able to show us several options that were in our budget. We visited their showroom in Maryland Heights and could actually see all of the options available (as well as give us ideas for other updates as well). The process was painless from the initial bid, thru the scheduling, all the way to the completion of the project. I couldn't have been happier! **★★★★★ — K Taylor Design Group, June 2014** > I have used Champion for many projects over many years. I appreciate the great service! They have a nice showroom, great samples and expert knowledge! They are nice! **★★★★★ — mawsdouglas, May 2014** > We were in the market for some new flooring throughout the house and were considering several options. One of the options was to refinish the hardwood floors that were under our carpets. I was recommended to Champion by my son who knows of them through the local chamber of commerce. Our floors were stained from years of use by my family including several dogs. They came out and have us a bid for the project that was very reasonable. Their workers were very professional and courteous throughout the job and were done in the time promised. They used a dustless sanding system was great and kept the dust from getting in the house. After it was sanded I was able to pick the exact color of stain that I wanted (I was able to match some of my other trim and entertainment center). The floors look better than I can ever remember them looking even when the house was new. Champion did a great job and I would strongly recommend them! **★★★★★ — madmeg04, Jan. 2014** > I met with Ralph to review options for the flooring in my house. He gave several options and was not just focused on driving up his sale. Once agreed upon, his company was timely and they helped to minimize the inconvenience of having the entire main floor resurfaced (the existing wood areas) and new wood added in areas that were carpeted. The staff was accommodating and very helpful in allowing multiple stain tests so we could find the stain that suited us best. Upon completion, we had one area that we were not satisfied with (I am a picky person) and Ralph did not hesitate to change it. And, there was no delay. I would highly recommend Champion Flooring Co to anyone. When our project was complete, the main level of the house was all wood, completely matching between existing and new and the finish is exactly what we wanted. ## Selected projects - [Armstrong - Vivero](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/armstrong-vivero-pj-vj~2080945) - Location: Ballwin, MO - Photos: 5 - [Armstrong - Engineered Stone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/armstrong-engineered-stone-pj-vj~2080944) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 6 - [Armstrong - Rustic Hardwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/armstrong-rustic-hardwood-pj-vj~2080936) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 5 - [Armstrong - Duality Vinyl Sheet Flooring](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/armstrong-duality-vinyl-sheet-flooring-pj-vj~2080943) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 6 - [Hardwood Refinishing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hardwood-refinishing-pj-vj~732632) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 11 - [Smoked Flooring](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smoked-flooring-pj-vj~543810) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 4 - [Laminate Lower Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laminate-lower-level-pj-vj~732603) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 4 - [Bathroom Examples in St Louis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-examples-in-st-louis-pj-vj~879096) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 5 - [Hardwood Floors Projects in St Louis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hardwood-floors-projects-in-st-louis-pj-vj~740122) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [The Mid-Century Modern House Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-mid-century-modern-house-renovation-pj-vj~508215) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 9 - Description: The homeowners of this Mid Century Modern home in Creve Coeur are a young Architect and his wife and their two young sons.

A: Hi Kelly, This is a photo provided by Armstrong. I would have to check with their marketing department to get the SKU. **Q: Installing new floor - suggestions needed on 5 inch width** *(in Flooring)* Hello I just joined this forum and am slowly learning a lot. Based on conversations here, I have eliminated buying chinese made stuff, lumber liquidators, buying online, Home Depot , lowes, etc. I visited couple of local shops and found that there is a whole different world out there when it comes to hardwood floor. I live in Metro Detroit, Michigan (Obviously severe winters). I have 1200 square feet of carpet and vinyl on my first floor. This is on top of a full basement, Currently, I have a wood(I think plywood) subfloor under the carpet and vinyl floor. I want to replace the carpet and vinyl with Hardwood floor. My requirements are as follows but can be altered based on suggestions except for the 5 inch width. 1 - 5 inch width planks (I want this for sure) 2 - square edges ( I prefer this if available but can adjust with micron or micro beveling) 3 - solid hardwood ( I prefer this but when I went to the local stores, everybody was pushing me towards engineered hardwood because the solid hardwood at 5 inch width will gap up during Michigan winters). 4 - I do not want oak as I do not like the look. I prefer wood that is plain like Maple, maybe cherry, etc. Questions - 5 - With my locations, humidity, etc, would you guys/girls suggest that I buy engineered hardwood instead of solid hardwood if I want the 5 inch width. If I do this, am I settling - will the feel of engineered hardwood and solid hardwood be the same. 6 - Is there a 5 inch width solid or engineered hardwood that comes with square edges or should I settle for mirco or micron beveled planks. 7 - What manufacturer do you guys recommend - I want to go medium to high end as I will live here for atleast 10 to 15 years. Mirage and Lauzon are expensive, is there anything else that you recommend that is a little lesser in cost but comparable in quality. 8 - One local shop had the Mirage Nevada Maple engineered hardwood. We liked this a lot but it was $13 a square foot retail price. He said he can reduce it 10% if we get 1200 sq.feet. Is this a normal price or am I being taken for a ride. Are their any other manufacturers with lesser price. A: There are only two (okay, three if you count stone separate from tile) flooring materials that add a structural improvement value to a home; tile and solid hardwood. Everything else, engineered floors, carpet, laminate, etc, are all considered floor coverings. That's not to say that putting in an engineered wood floor won't add value to your home. Usually, these changes are upgrades from old carpeting or vinyl that needed replacing because of age or damage, so certainly you are gaining a more aesthetically pleasing home. That will add value. But if you installing a solid hardwood floor (or new stone or tile floor) you are adding to the structural integrity of the home - thereby adding to the structural value of the home. Hopefully, that helped :) **Q: Is it easy to put hardwood in later?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hey everyone, we may be buying a fairly costly house and are contemplating doing carpeting or some other cheap flooring initially and doing hardwood (engineered) later. Is it easy enough to make that switch or do you think we would regret it? Also do people know how much more expensive is in-floor heating? Thanks! A: There are a few things that you will want to address... but most importantly, are you setting yourself up for a successful floor later on. If you plan to go engineered, there is a smaller checklist. But, if you are are planning on a solid hardwood (3/4" thick) then you want to address transitions and in-floor heating. There are systems that will not work on solid hardwood - so do your research. Also, if you install the floor heating system now, but plan on swapping to real hardwood later, you will want to be sure that you give all the floor heating system information to the new installer. He will need to be careful not to tap the heat. The other big item that may come back to haunt you are the transitions. If your transitions are set up too low, you will always have a reducer at the hardwood. So, lets say you are installing solid hardwood in the living room, but your adjoining foyer has a ceramic tile. The ceramic tile may or may not be flush with the new hardwood height. What you want to avoid is a noticeable transition that will become a tripping hazard (or is just unsightly). It is typically not a huge deal to set the tile in the foyer at the right height so that you can come back later with your solid hardwood. So the idea is for you to make the right underlayment choices NOW for the possible hardwood later. Anything that is adjoining should be set with the hardwood in mind. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
