Abbey Ruggerio

A Lifetime in Flooring

For Abbey, flooring has never just been a career—it's part of her family's story. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the tile industry, Abbey was surrounded by flooring from an early age. Her grandfather, father, and brothers all built careers in tile, giving her an appreciation for craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail long before she entered the industry herself.

She began working in flooring while still in high school, assisting with tile installations by preparing materials, grouting tile, and learning firsthand what quality workmanship looks like. More than seventeen years later, that hands-on foundation continues to influence everything she does.

Experience Across Every Side of the Industry

Few flooring professionals have experienced as many different areas of the business as Abbey. Throughout her career, she has worked in installation, retail sales, commercial flooring, wholesale distribution, product importing, showroom design, operations, and management. She has even helped design tile showrooms across the country.

That broad experience allows Abbey to see the entire picture—not just one step of the process. She understands how product selection affects installation, how scheduling impacts customer satisfaction, and how thoughtful planning creates a better experience from beginning to end.

Creating a Better Customer Experience

Before becoming Operations Manager, Abbey served as both a Flooring Consultant and Store Manager at Peak Flooring. Those experiences gave her firsthand insight into every stage of the customer journey. Today, she works closely with Peak Flooring's sales consultants, project managers, installers, warehouse team, and leadership group to continually improve the systems that keep projects running smoothly.

Whether she's coordinating schedules, improving internal processes, solving unexpected challenges, or supporting the team behind the scenes, Abbey is always focused on one goal: making the flooring experience simpler for every customer. That commitment reflects Peak Flooring's promise of Flooring Simplified.

Helping Homeowners Feel Confident

Abbey believes homeowners deserve more than beautiful floors—they deserve confidence throughout the entire process. She enjoys helping customers compare hardwood flooring, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), carpet, laminate flooring, waterproof flooring, and tile while explaining the advantages, tradeoffs, maintenance requirements, and long-term performance of each option.

Although she enjoys every flooring category, tile will always hold a special place because it's where both her family's legacy and her own flooring journey began. She especially enjoys helping customers transform older homes through thoughtful remodeling projects, creating spaces that feel more functional, comfortable, and reflective of the families who live in them.

What Abbey Believes

• Great customer experiences are built on communication, preparation, and attention to detail.
• The best flooring decisions happen when customers understand their options and feel confident in their choices.
• Every project deserves thoughtful planning, regardless of its size.
• Strong systems create a smoother experience for both customers and the team.
• Trust is earned by consistently doing the little things well.

Beyond Flooring

Outside of work, Abbey enjoys reading, attending theater performances, spending time at the lake with friends, and hosting board game nights. She is an avid animal lover and shares her home with three cats, two frogs, a spider, and a tortoise. Family is incredibly important to her, and she loves spending time with her eight nieces and nephews throughout Colorado.

When she's exploring outdoors, you'll often find Abbey searching for interesting rocks, unusual natural treasures, and the small details most people walk right past—a habit that mirrors how she approaches her work every day.
