Beautiful Walnut: Los Altos, California

Posted by Megan Sprague

Here's a nice letter and photos that Dan O'Neill of our West Hollywood Design Center received from his clients in Los Altos, California.

Hi Dan,
How are you doing? We moved into our place this past summer - the floor looks great and everyone that comes in admires how it looks.
Thanks,
Mike

Customer Letter and FSC Antique Oak!

Posted by Megan Sprague

Here's a nice letter and photos that we received from client's of ours. They purchased our FSC Antique Oak floors and beams.

Hello,
Wanted to let you know our room is done and came out really nice. Attached are some pictures of the room prior to the furniture coming in. I installed some puck lights in the beams so light is cast onto the ceiling when activated. One question my wife had is what do you recommend for general cleaning of the floors. Any product that you recommend would be appreciated. Thanks again for all your help in the entire process. We are very pleased.

Todd and Gina Neddermann
P.S...We recommend weekly vacuuming (or sweeping) and a capfull of white vinegar to warm water for damp mopping!

A Nice Thank You Letter

Posted by Megan Sprague

Here's a nice letter that Adam Whitney, of our New York sales team, received today! This couple purchased our wide pine floors.
Hello Adam,

I hope this note finds you well.

Thank you for the kind note and the maple syrup. My wife and I go
through tons of the stuff, so it's much appreciated.

I am doing less and less construction apart from home projects, as "my
other job" as a magazine editor is taking more and more of my time (and
generating more of a fulltime income). I still sing the praises of
Carlisle any chance I get, especially when folks visit our outbuilding
where the pine flooring looks great (and works great) over our radiant
flooring.

Thank you and I will be in touch about any future projects. Best, Brian
