Artek Hardwoods Creates Custom Pattern for Customer

At Carlisle we work with some amazing craftsman - our very own craftsman who build every floor in New Hampshire, and those we work with outside Carlisle who install the floors.  We believe that every floor is special and beautiful but sometimes you run across a project or a flooring photo that takes your breath away and is really unique.

One such photo came across our emails today from Dan Vincenzo or Artek Hardwoods in Windsor, CT.  Dan has installed our floors for a number of years and as a Preferred Installer we won't hesitate to refer him to a new customer or a customer needing some TLC to repair a project.  When you see these you can see why!

Customer “wowed” by her new floor

Karen and Bill from Massachusetts sent an email to their Wide Plank Specialist, Lynne Rafuse, recently to follow up on the recent delivery of their new 6-10" Wide Hickory flooring for their home. 

EMAIL EXCERPT FROM CUSTOMER ~ 

HI Lynne,
We received our flooring, and there is no other word for it but, "WOW", I feel part of New Hampshire has come to Massachusetts, and I could not be happier, thank you so much!  I feel like the flooring is a work of art in itself, I don't think I even want furniture!   I think the floors are enough, but we do have to sit somewhere.

We could not fit it all in our house so we had to have some of it put in the garage, I hope that will not effect it, we have it covered and are monitoring the humiditiy, which has been very low!  I am so excited I cannot wait to see it put down and finished.

There are no words left to say other than thank you Carlisle and thank you Lynne and everyone who helped us and delivered it to us!  Will be in touch with questions when we go to install I am sure!

Karen G and Bill A

Hickory Floors shine in new Vail, Colorado Home

  • Posted by
  • Shanon Sterrett

Kevin Crowder of our Denver, Colorado showroom recently received photos from a happy customer in Vail, Colorado.  They had purchased All 10" Wide Heirloom Grade Wide Plank Hickory floors

Since Hickory is a naturally lighter wood and the customer  wanted a darker finish Kevin worked with them to customize a stain to achieve just the right look!

Carlisle made it easy for the customer to achieve the look they wanted by referring them to a Preferred Installer.  Matt Farhm of Farhm Floors installed, stained and finished the floors on site!
