About Wholesale Flooring Services

Jim and Sharon are the original founders of Wholesale Flooring Services, opening the doors in 2008 with a vision built on strong relationships, the right people, and clear, honest communication. Over the years, they have grown WFS into a trusted family business rooted in integrity and genuine care for every client.

They are proud parents of two daughters and grandparents to three energetic grandsons. Today, WFS continues as a true family legacy, with their eldest daughter, Katie, and son in law, Kevin, stepping into leadership and guiding the next chapter of the company’s growth.
