45 Years and Counting

 
From our humble beginnings in 1976, Randy’s Flooring has grown to be Eastern Iowa’s flooring experts. We’ve been helping home and business owners in the Corridor area long before it was known as the Corridor – and we’ll be here for years to come. Because of our dependability, selection, and pricing, many of our customers have been coming back to us for decades (and several of our staff members have been with us just as long).
