Our Story
A rare statistic, on purpose
MAC Flooring & Interiors was established in 2010 and built from the ground up by its founder, Kristin Giebler.
“Instead of being intimidated by the fact that I was a rare statistic of female ownership in construction, I looked at it through a different lens and just went for it.”
Kristin Giebler, Owner
Kristin came to flooring from interior design and business operations, which is an unusual pairing in a trade that mostly promotes from the warehouse floor. It shaped everything about how the studio runs.
Her priority has been changing how people see this industry by showing what a female-led construction firm can offer, and by retiring approaches that had gone stale long before she arrived.
The insight
“Eighty percent of buying decisions in my industry are made by women, and that opened the door for me to create a female focused shopping experience.”
Kristin Giebler
So the showroom was designed to be inspiring, pretty and homelike, rather than racks and racks of samples for customers to browse aimlessly. The point was never to transact with the next buyer. It was to give them an experience they had not had before.
How that shows up
What the studio does differently
Curated, not stacked
You are shown a considered set that suits the room, its light and its traffic, instead of being left with a wall of options and no guidance.
Our own crews
The best in-house installation crews in Orange County, attracted by the experience of the team, not assembled per job from whoever is free.
Design-trained eyes
An owner whose first discipline was interior design, which is why the conversation covers the whole room.
Referral-built
A high percentage of the work comes from repeat clients and referrals from contractors, designers and realtors.
Community
Built here, on purpose
Starting from nothing, Kristin worked at making a mark in the community and at helping other people in their own small-business pursuits. MAC was welcomed into the local area with open arms, and the company has been built on that reputation and on high ethical standards ever since.
