Customer Letter from Alaska

Posted by Megan Sprague

We received this customer letter from Bean Lacey of Kenai, Alaska! Bean installed his own floors, wide plank Eastern White Pine with our signature Gingerbread stain.
This stuff looks great! What a beautiful floor. It looks just like the old dance halls and saloons. Everyone that comes in just stops and looks!! Thanks Carlisle and also Tim Galvin.

Customer Letter from Virginia

Posted by Megan Sprague

We received this nice letter from customer Skip Ressel of Martinsville, Virginia.
Had it not been for Crystal Knowles' patience, knowledge, help and friendliness, I probably would not have my beautiful floor. She is the greatest!
Skip installed his Eastern White Pine floors too!

We received this customer letter from Felix and Tarrole Mifeld from Desoto, Missouri.
Best floor I have ever seen! Easy to install, looks as old as our other floors from 1836!
By the way, Felix installed the Eastern White Pine floors!

DIY: Eastern White Pine with Plymouth Pumpkin Stain in Pennsylvania

Posted by Megan Sprague

This is a nice letter paired with photos from a couple who installed their own floors: our wide plank Eastern White Pine with our custom Plymouth Pumpkin Stain

Dear Scott,

Here are the photos. We have yet to upholster some furniture as you will see. That will be our next project. Any chance Carlisle does upholstery???! Thanks for the great floor!

Shanon Sterret shares this personal email from her clients in Virginia!

Hi Shanon,
I am sorry to take so long to get back to you. We have been just crazy busy. I am sending you some of our photos. We have a lot more I will send five pictures in each email. We love our floors and we love the look it gives our home. My hardwood floor installer, AKA my husband Roland, is out of town for another week. When he gets back we will write our account of the installation process.

Thank you,
Michelle and Roland Hankey
