Kitchen confidence

Mimi Vanderhaven • May 6, 2025

From a new floor to an entirely new kitchen, feeling confident in your decisions is essential to a successful outcome. Here’s how the newly combined MDG Flooring America – Kiba Studios makes it happen.

When it comes to kitchen and bath remodeling, most of us think of cabinets and countertops, but there are two other essential elements: hard-surface flooring and tile backsplashes.


Now, two of Northeast Ohio’s most iconic brands have come together to offer a full-service, one-stop shopping experience for all of it: MDG Flooring America – Kiba Studios.


“When you replace your kitchen cabinets, it’s unlikely the new cabinets will be a perfect fit with your old floor. That means the flooring almost always has to be replaced,” explains company president Steve Walbolt. “Our combined companies offer everything you need right here, without juggling five different contractors.”


MDG Flooring America – Kiba Studios now has two locations: Medina and a brand-new showroom across from Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted. The showroom features modern kitchen and bath vignettes, including examples of sought-after trends like an “appliance garage,” a convenient countertop space that hides your appliances until you’re ready to use them—without bending over to retrieve them.


The company is part of a national co-op, which gives it access to popular, high-quality brands you cannot find at big-box stores. The same co-op represents a large buying group, which means big savings are passed on to consumers.


Peace of Mind

One of MDG Flooring America – Kiba Studios’ most significant benefits is peace of mind. “With kitchen design, confidence is key,” explains director of marketing Christina Walbolt. “You’ll spend a lot of time in your kitchen for many years, and you should feel confident that you’ll love it. No one wants to walk into their kitchen every day and say, ‘I wish we’d done things differently.’ We make sure that doesn’t happen.”


That confidence is the result of three main factors: the right design, quality products and proper installation.


“We excel at all three because we have a great team,” Christina assures. “Our staff is trained, experienced and most of all passionate about designing and installing a finished space you’ll be proud of.”


Although the combined firm offers full-service remodels, no job is too big or too small. “If you simply want to replace the tile around your fireplace, we can do that too,” Steve adds. “And we’re a popular choice for contractors, homebuilders and do-it-yourselfers.



The firm also offers a one-of-a-kind guarantee. The “Adore Your Floor Guarantee” is simple: If you don’t love your floor, the company will replace it. No questions asked.

That says it all.


MDG Flooring America – Kiba Studios has two locations: 3812 Pearl Road, Medina, 330-725-5252; and now at 4720 Great Northern Blvd. in North Olmsted, 440-614-1653. Visit MDGFlooringAmerica.com for more information.
