ASI was founded in 1986 with just three employees in a 500 square foot showroom. In the beginning, we served mostly commercial clients such as fast food restaurants, car dealerships and the original UNM Hospital.Twenty years later, ASI is still owned locally but now occupies a 21,000 square foot facility. You can know browse our beautiful showroom and be helped by one of our many staff members.
We still serve our commercial customers, including Flying Star restaurants, the Unser Museum and the new wing of UNM Hosptial. but we love to serve our residential customers too.
We provide full design services free of charge to all our customers. We welcome walk-in clients, do-it-yourselfers or customers sent in by their builder or designers.
Geraldine - Design Consultant
Geraldine has always had a passion for decorating, but only recently has her love extended to tile, stone, wood, and other flooring choices. Because flooring is permanent and accentuates the feel and style of a home, she encourages customers not to compromise on their selection. As Geraldine reminds her clients, paint color on a wall can be changed easily, flooring underneath your feet cannot! When she is not advising customers, Geraldine explores her other passions, cooking and entertaining.
Christy - Design Consultant
Born in Las Cruces and raised in Santa Fe, Christy arrived in Albuquerque fifteen years ago. Enrollment in the ASI Sales Training program gave Christy on-the-job training and taught her how to explain the durability, maintenance, and cost of different types of flooring to potential customers. Christy believes that helping people make a decision based upon their needs and their budgets is as important as the flooring they select. Roller-blading and cooking as well as spending time with her boyfriend, family, and friends keeps Christy busy.
Karen - Design Consultant
Karen may not be a native New Mexican, but after living in Albuquerque for the past thirty years with her husband, she considers herself a life-long resident. A twenty-one year history in the home design industry has taught Karen to visualize the space being furnished, not simply on the beauty of the particular flooring. Complimenting a person’s style is important, but so is functionality, too. Travelling is Karen’s other passion, and when she is not working, she may be planning her next trip.
Katie - Design Consultant
Katie moved to Albuquerque three years ago to earn her degree at the Art Center Design College for Interior Design. Inspired by a conversation with ASI sales representative, Christy Edwards, Katie counsels customers to consider not only the beauty of a floor design, but one’s personal lifestyle. “While flooring selections and design should reflect your decorating taste and style, functionality and maintenance of tile, natural stone, or wood is important, too.” As a relative newcomer to Albuquerque, Katie enjoys spending time with family and friends outside of work.
