The Best Part of the Job: What Drives Nielsen Brothers Flooring Every Day

What Drives Nielsen Brothers Flooring Every Day according to Mike Nielsen

Something happens at the end of every flooring project. What exactly? Once the new floors are in place and the homeowner walks in to see their space for the first time, they light up. Sometimes, they gasp and other times, they go quiet. Sometimes they smile and say, “This is exactly what I wanted.”

For Mike Nielsen, owner of Nielsen Brothers Flooring showroom in Lynnwood, WA, that means a lot. That’s why he shows up to work every day and why this family-owned flooring store has been a trusted name throughout Greater Seattle since 1946.

It’s Always About the Customer

What does Mike enjoy about owning and running Nielsen Brothers Flooring? For him, it’s not about business metrics or bottom lines, it’s about people. Working with customers and helping them find the flooring they love is something he looks forward to every day.

Customers are often handed a catalog and left to their own devices. This isn’t what Mike does. The key for him is collaboration. Every home and family is different, he sees that and listens first and recommends second.

It’s not a sales tactic. That’s just how he does business. 

The Moment That Makes It All Worth It

Once the last plank is laid and the job is done, the homeowner gets to see the finished results for the first time. Seeing happy customers and witnessing their home transformation keeps him motivated to continue working on new flooring projects.

The wide smile, quiet pause and realization that the space looks amazing never gets old. New flooring isn’t just another home improvement project. They transform how a space feels and how a family lives every day. A hardwood floor can bring a sense of warmth into the living room, while a waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP) can give a bustling home with kids and pets peace of mind. New floors impact how families live today, tomorrow and beyond.

What Nearly 80 Years of Happy Customers Looks Like

When Nielsen Brothers Flooring opened in 1946, it wasn’t about advertising, it was about creating moments. These memories are made to stay with customers for years to come and to tell their friends and neighbors about.

Mike has heard so many stories. From customers whose parents had their floors done by their father to families returning for their third home to neighbors who called because a friend was so happy with their new floors. Beyond being compliments, this is 80 years of showing up, getting it right and treating customers like family.
