• Beautful floor, with just one bucket of waste

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  

  Customer Sally Smith sent along these photes of a recent remodeling job she did with Carlisle’s pre-finished original Hickory, in 5- to 10-inch widths. This is the third floor Sally has done with Carlisle. These photos are from her second home in the Adirondacks and their first was for their New Jersey home. The natural colorings in the wood turned out to be quite distinct down the center of Sally’s hallway. She writes: “Our friends laugh at the ‘runway strip’ we put down the center of the hallway – Dave (her husband) says if we fight there’s his half, and my half.”

  What we like to see in these photos is the small, one bucket of waste that was produced with the project!

• “Breathtakingly FANTASTIC” is what we like to hear when a customer installs a Carlisle floor

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  Jim and Colleen Woodcock found Carlisle Wide Plank Floors through our Washington D.C. showroom and sales consultant Janel Conforti there. The Woodcocks were set to install a new floor in a game room they were creating out of what was once unused space in their home. These customers turned out to be very happy with their new floor and they made a special trip back to the Washington D.C. showroom to drop off some samples so that our staff there could show them to potential customers.

  The Woodcocks had ordered 525 square feet of Carlisle’s prefinished Hickory, in 5- to 10-inch widths. At first, when the floor was delivered to their home, they were quite concerned that not enough boards had been delivered. Turned out, it was fine! The installers who did the job know just what they’re doing to fit the floor with very little waste.

  Jim reports, “One guy put down the glue, one guy sawed, selected and set the pieces, and the third hammered them tight and then stapled them. It must be nice for them to work with such quality product. They swiped your big catalog so with luck they may give you some future customers.”

  After four months, from conception of the project to its completion with the addition of the two “retro” chairs you see in the photos, the floor is ready and being used.

  Jim wrote, “And of course it looks breathtakingly FANTASTIC. The trim has not been purchased yet but the vents are so cool. We are in hog heaven walking around with big smiles.”

• MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG: Perfectionism noticed in Carlisle floor installation

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  We made happy customers out of Jackie and Paul Duso down in Carrolton, Georgia, where we recently installed our prefinished Birch and Cherry with a custom-coat that was meant to look like Tung oil.

  Thiese customers found us when doing a search on the web and they were helped by our Matt Farhm, who also arranged to have his firm, Farhm Fine Floors, install the new floor in this remodeling project. Farhm Fine Floors travels all over the country to do floor installations and has apparently installed over 50,000 square feet!

  Here’s what customer Paul had to say about his experience:

  “Matt—You are right, we do love our floors. It is surprising to me that we get the most ooooohhhhs and aaaaaahhhhhs from our birch floor in the bedroom. I really can’t decide which I like the best, both are outstanding. I couldn’t believe how easily they were able to fit the wood to the walls and in the bedroom around the glass block wall. It looks fantastic. (Installer) Chris was here most of the time with Micah coming on the last day and I must say he was a joy to work with and be around. Carlilse is lucky to have you guys. You are all such perfectionists.”

• Monday Morning Mailbag: Michigan remodel with Eastern White Pine garners visitor comments each time

  Posted by Christine Halvorson

  We got this nice note from a customer for a project that dates back to May of 2007. Andrew Davidson used Carlisle’s Eastern White Pine when he renovated his Michigan home then and he writes:

  “I couldn’t be happier with the decision. I attached a picture, and I can tell you the one thing people comment on when they walk in our house, is the floors. It came out great,” Andrew wrote.

  Well, we’ll let you judge for yourself, from the picture below. Did it turn out great, or what?

  

  Thinking about floors? We do it all the time. Give us a call at 1-800-595-9663.
