Garden City, MI Flooring Center
Your floors tell a story about your home, and after four decades in this business, we've helped write thousands of those stories. At Dalton Flooring Center, we believe the right flooring should match how you actually live, not just what looks good on Pinterest.
Garden City has this wonderful mix of post-war bungalows and contemporary updates that keep things interesting. Each home we visit has its own character, and frankly, that's what keeps us passionate about what we do.
Here's How We Roll at Dalton
Step into our showroom and you'll understand why families travel from across Southeast Michigan to work with us. No high-pressure sales tactics, no confusing jargon, just honest guidance to help you find floors that'll make your house feel like home.
Our 10,000 Square-Foot Showroom: Size matters when you're showcasing products from Shaw, Mohawk, Armstrong, and countless other top manufacturers. We've seen families spend hours here, and that's perfectly fine with us.
Honest Conversations About Your Life: Sure, we could push the priciest options and call it a day. But Sam (our owner) built this business on integrity, not quick profits. We ask about your daily routine first. Got teenagers tracking mud through the house? A dog who thinks the living room is his personal racetrack? These details matter, and we factor them into every recommendation.
Transparent Pricing Every Time: Your estimate spells out every dollar: materials, labor, timeline, the works. No mysterious charges, no surprise fees later. Too many folks have been burned by shady contractors, so we put everything in writing upfront.
Installation You Can Trust: Our team has been perfecting their craft for decades. Most projects finish within 1-2 days, depending on the scope. We treat your home like our own, complete with daily cleanup.
We're Here After the Sale: Curious about caring for your new floors? Need advice on removing a stubborn stain? Pick up the phone. We'd rather spend five minutes helping you than worry you're dealing with a problem alone.

What We've Got in Stock
Living near Ford Road means dealing with Michigan's unpredictable weather patterns and everything that comes with seasonal temperature swings. Four decades of local experience taught us which products actually perform in Southeast Michigan homes.
Carpet That Works for Real Families
Michigan winters demand cozy solutions, and carpet delivers warmth you simply can't replicate with hard surfaces. Your family room becomes the heart of the house when it's comfortable underfoot. We stock everything from practical builder-grade options to luxurious plush varieties that transform bedrooms into retreats. Families dealing with allergies often prefer our low-pile selections that resist dust accumulation.
Hardwood That Stands the Test of Time
Real wood flooring remains the gold standard for adding lasting value to any home. Solid hardwood creates a stunning visual impact, while engineered alternatives better accommodate our region's humidity fluctuations (trust us, we've learned this through experience). Oak continues dominating our sales for its durability and classic appeal, though adventurous homeowners increasingly choose exotic species like Brazilian cherry for dramatic effect.
Laminate That Surprises Everyone
Today's laminate technology honestly amazes us. You get gorgeous hardwood aesthetics at a fraction of the cost, plus modern formulations actually withstand family chaos. Ideal for households wanting beauty without constantly worrying about damage from daily life.
Vinyl Built for Everything
Luxury vinyl planks revolutionized our industry, and the reasons are obvious. Complete waterproof protection, incredibly realistic wood and stone appearances, plus commercial-grade durability. We install massive amounts in basements, kitchens, and bathrooms where other materials simply wouldn't survive.

Why People Choose Dalton
We're not Michigan's largest flooring retailer, and we're not trying to be. What we are is a family operation that's been serving Garden City, Westland, Dearborn Heights, Livonia, and surrounding communities since the early 80s.
Sam founded this company on one principle: treat every project like you're working on your own home. That philosophy means punctual service, meticulous workmanship, and backing up everything we sell.
Sometimes this approach costs us business when customers shop purely on price. Most people, though, value working with a company that's been around long enough to honor its commitments.
Honest Pricing, Zero Gimmicks: We price fairly and offer regular promotions year-round. Financing programs are available when needed. Estimates are always free.
Neighborhood Expertise: We understand local housing characteristics. Those charming 1950s bungalows present different subfloor considerations than modern subdivisions. Historic properties require specialized approaches compared to 1990s construction.
Seasoned Installation Team: Most installers have worked with us for years. They understand our quality standards and know how to handle unexpected challenges that older homes sometimes present.
Ready to see what sets us apart? Visit our Southgate showroom or call (734) 215-9849. We'll visit your home, take precise measurements, and provide honest recommendations based on your specific needs and budget.
After all, we're all just trying to make our houses feel like the homes we deserve.
