Providing a trustworthy flooring resource

At Southern Flooring, we place the utmost importance on building strong customer relations. Owner Shawn Yoakam opened Southern Flooring in 2001 with the goal of providing the greater Tallahassee area with a trustworthy flooring resource- a place where customers can feel comfortable with their buying decisions. Since that time, Southern Flooring has grown from a three person company to a multi-faceted business due to loyal customers, Shawn’s hard work and our dedicated staff. In 2006, Southern Flooring began a partnership with Mohawk to become an exclusive Mohawk Floorscapes Dealer, allowing us to offer an even greater array of products at competitive prices.

Toby VanEsselstine

Hello! I'm Toby VanEsselstine and I have been in the flooring industry since 2016. My goal is to help all my clients from start to finish of the project. I will personally ensure you have the best possible buying and installation experience. When making the choice to do business with me, rest easy knowing I am the right person for the job! In my personal life I enjoy such things as playing drums, collecting sports memorabilia and spending time with my daughter.

Nick Halley

Nick joined Southern Flooring late 2022 and brings a wealth of sales knowledge throughout his career. He has had previous stints in running restaurants, selling homes and even in the cell phone industry. He’s never met a stranger he couldn’t connect with. Being in Tallahassee for 30 years, he considers himself a native and definitely understands the sentiment of Tallahassee only has a couple degrees of separation. In his spare time, he shows and breeds dogs with his wife and 3 daughters. They own Beagles and Great Danes and love to travel to these shows in their 5th wheel and travel the US. He’s going to give you his best price and effort on every job. Finding you the best product at the best price is what he offers to every one of his clients.
