Monday Morning Mailbag: Carlisle customers look at their new floor with awe

Every time we finish a floor project for a customer—or the customer has finished doing his or her Do-It-Yourself job to install it— we like to ask them what they think or if they have any comments to send back to our leader, Don Carlisle. Here’s this week’s sample of the type of card we get back to us—and we thought you’d like to see it straight from their heart (er…pen).

Customers Joanne and Bill Philpot worked with Carlisle’s Gary Ryer to purchase 120 square feet of nominal width, premium grade Eastern White Pine, which was finished at their home. Our favorite quote from them about their floor: “We look at it with awe!”

Here’s what they had to say (clicking on the file will open it up to full size):

Gregg and Marsha Martin in North Carolina installed a Carlisle floor in their living room back in 2006 and now they’re back considering another floor for their house. They were kind enough to send us this photo of the Premium Grade Heart Pine they had put in their living room then. It was finished with Autumn Leaf and Tung Oil. Now they are back for more, considering the installation of a pre-finished floor.

Our Old Growth Heart Pine floors will be underfoot in the show booth for Crown Point Cabinetry, a long-time partner with us.
