Installing new floors should be exciting—not overwhelming. But even the smallest miscalculation can throw a project off track. Northport Flooring America takes the guesswork out with free professional measurements, ensuring every plank, tile and carpet square fits seamlessly before installation begins.


Locally owned and trusted, the Akron showroom has built its reputation over half a century on expert guidance and a vast selection of competitively priced carpet, hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and traditional tile.


A flawless flooring installation begins long before placing the first plank or setting a single tile. Accurate measurements and a thorough space assessment help prevent surprise costs, material shortages and unexpected labor expenses.


Northport Flooring America provides free professional measurements, giving homeowners an upfront, accurate estimate to ensure a smooth, stress-free installation from the very start.


As a local, family-owned business, Northport stands apart from big-box retailers.

Many large chains charge for measurements and rely on subcontractors who juggle multiple companies with no direct ties to a single business.


Northport takes a different approach. Its dedicated measurement teams work full-time for the company to ensure consistency and expertise.


Rather than simply recording dimensions, former installers serve as knowledgeable guides, helping homeowners understand their spaces and make informed flooring choices.


Measuring for new flooring isn’t just about calculating length by width. While square footage is essential for estimating material needs, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Factors such as subfloor condition, room transitions, and leveling requirements can significantly impact installation and overall costs.


By assessing moisture levels, subfloor preparation and transition points, Northport strives to provide customers with a detailed, accurate estimate that accounts for all necessary work upfront.

After all, one of the most frustrating aspects of a flooring project is discovering unexpected costs after installation has begun, which often arise because initial measurements failed to account for necessary floor preparation, such as subfloor repairs, leveling, or removing old adhesive.


To prevent these surprises, Northport Flooring America takes a proactive approach. Its measurement teams conduct a thorough room assessment, identifying potential issues early so the sales team can provide a comprehensive estimate. This transparency can eliminate last-minute budget changes and ensure a smooth, seamless experience from start to finish.


When it comes to new flooring, precision is everything. Free professional measurements ensure accuracy and streamline the process, allowing the ordering and the arrival of all the necessary materials within a project’s preferred timeframe, helping installers work more efficiently and reducing delays for a faster, hassle-free turnaround.

    A flooring upgrade doesn’t always happen all at once. Many homeowners update their floors in phases, tackling one room at a time as budget and schedule allow.

    To make future projects easier, Northport securely stores all measurements. If homeowners decide to extend their flooring into additional rooms months or even years later, they won’t need another in-home measurement.

Still, Northport prioritizes a customer-first approach.


Professional measurements are entirely free, with no obligation to proceed, giving homeowners the freedom to explore their options without feeling rushed into a decision.


For those still deciding on materials, Northport simplifies the process by allowing homeowners to request flooring samples during their measurement appointments. Viewing samples in their own spaces, under natural lighting, can help them make confident design choices.


If customers take samples home from the showroom and later schedule free professional measurements, they don’t need to worry about returning them. The measurement team can collect the samples during their visit, adding to the seamless and hassle-free experience.
