Tallgrass Trim & Flooring was started by Ernest Maendel, who's been hands-on in the trades since 2021. What began as a focus on finish carpentry grew into a full trim-and-flooring outfit built on one simple idea: show up, do the work right, and don't cut corners. Every job — whether it's a single room or a full-home remodel — gets treated like it's our own house. We handle the details other crews rush past, from tight-seamed trim to properly prepped subfloors, because that's what actually makes a floor last.
Old, worn, or mismatched flooring is one of the first things people notice when they walk into a home — and one of the first things that can hold back a home's resale value. New LVP flooring is durable, waterproof, and can handle daily life without showing it, while giving a room an instant, lasting refresh. It's one of the highest-impact updates you can make to a house, whether you're settling in for years or getting ready to sell.
