OUR STORY
With 25 years of experience, Jeff Stuard knew exactly what worked - and what didn’t - in the flooring industry. So in 2012, he founded Independence Flooring & Supply to redefine the standards for quality and service. Originally focused on providing top-quality tools and installation accessories for flooring installers, we've grown into one of Maine’s premier flooring, tile, and supply businesses.
Our business is built on a commitment to excellence and customer service. We personally select all flooring, tiles, tools, and accessories from companies we know and trust, ensuring the products we carry meet our high standards. With a focus on sustainability, we choose only long-lasting, well-constructed, and maintainable flooring and tiles that not only elevate your space but also stand the test of time.
At Independence Flooring & Supply, we’re not just about floors; we’re about building lasting relationships based on trust, quality, and genuine care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What customers do you serve?
Independence Flooring & Supply is ready to serve the needs of homeowners, general contractors and builders, floor installers, and even DIYers. Whether you're planning out a single room, building single or multi-family houses, redoing a floor, or trying your hand at floor installation, we offer the same expertise, friendly service, and top quality flooring, tiles, tools and accessories you need to get the job done right.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Westbrook and serve the Greater Portland area including Portland, Cumberland, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Scarborough, Freeport, Cape Elizabeth, Biddeford, Saco, Windham, Old Orchard Beach, Gorham, and more. We're also able to sell and even deliver to spots throughout the state from York to the Midcoast, Downeast, Central, Western Mountains, and even north of Bangor.
Can I see samples before I buy?
Yes — our showroom has thousands of samples of hardwood, engineered, and LVP flooring as well as small to large format tiles for floors, backsplashes, custom bathrooms and more. You can stop in anytime, but we'd love it if you call ahead or schedule an appointment online to ensure we have someone available to walk you through options.
Do you deliver?
Yes, we do. We charge a delivery fee because we believe in being upfront and transparent. Rather than burying delivery costs in the price of our products, we separate them so customers only pay for the services they use.
Our delivery service goes beyond a simple drop-off. We don't just leave your materials in the driveway. Our team will carry your hardwood flooring products into the home or building and place them in a convenient location, helping your project get off to the right start. Tile and setting materials will be delivered to the garage or other weather protected area.
Please note that our team will only deliver to the first floor.
What types of flooring do you carry?
We carry high-quality solid wood, engineered hardwood, LVP, and tiles. We have a personal relationship with every manufacturer we carry to ensure that our customers get the best products from companies that stand by their work.
How much will my flooring project cost?
It depends on the product(s), the square footage, and what's involved in the install, so it's not something we can quote accurately online. Bring your measurements (or a rough idea) into the showroom or give us a call, and we'll walk you through real numbers.
What's the best flooring for my situation — kids, pets, radiant heat, and so on?
There's no single answer. It depends on where your home is, which room the floor is going in, your budget, your style, and how you use the space. The best way to sort it out is to talk with our team. Bring photos of floors you like, or walk the showroom and see what connects. We'll help you find the right fit.
Do you do installations?
No. Every project is different, every product is different, which is why we believe that customers are best served having the right professional for their specific needs. We also want to protect your bottom line, so we made a conscious effort to not act as an intermediary. We feel both homeowners and installers are best served this way.
Do you recommend installers?
Yes! Give us a call or stop by the showroom and tell us about your project. We work closely with installers and contractors across the state and are glad to help point you toward someone who's a good fit.
What's your return or exchange policy?
We accept returns on stocked products purchased from Independence Flooring & Supply when they are returned within 30 days of purchase, in their original packaging, and in resalable condition. A copy of the original invoice or sales receipt is required for all returns and exchanges.
All returned materials are subject to inspection. Independence Flooring & Supply reserves the right to refuse returns on products that have been damaged, improperly handled, or stored in conditions that may affect their quality or performance. Examples include hardwood flooring stored in an unconditioned space, materials exposed to excessive moisture, or products that became wet during transportation or storage.
Please note that special-order, custom-order, and non-stock items may not be eligible for return.
If you have any questions about whether a product qualifies for return, please contact our team before bringing materials back to the store. We're happy to help.
Do you offer financing?
Not currently. It's something we're exploring for the future.
