Carlisle Client Partners - helping keep your project on schedule!

What is a Carlisle Client Partner?

After the Specialists have helped our customers design and order their floors, who is going to help you make sure the floor is delivered on time, coordinate delivery with your builder, and make sure everything shows up that you ordered?

Client Partners handle the coordination and logistics of the wood flooring that we ship all over the world.  From the smallest kitchen remodel in Massachusetts to the luxury boutique hotel in China, Client Partners take the worry and the work out of your wood flooring order.

Find out what a Client Partner can do for you and read a recent email from a homeowner who has a rental property in Vermont and ordered some floors to dress up one of the rooms.  She gave kudos to Client partner, Amanda Bemis who is coming up on her 1-year Anniversary but provides the exceptional customer service of an old pro!  What a better way to celebrate her time with us then

At Carlisle, the service doesn't stop when you place your order, but after you place your order the service continues.
