Carlisle “wins over” Skeptical Maine Builder
- Posted by
Wondering why Carlisle Pine floors appeal to homeowners and profesionals over other suppliers? Well here's a great story to fill you in.
Glen Ranager, veteran Carlisle Wide Plank Specialist, shared a great story with us today from a skeptical builder in Maine who worked with a Carlisle customer about a year ago. At the time, the builder had discouraged his customer from Pine, but also from the wider planks.
Being from Maine, the proclaimed Eastern White Pine state, he has long had issues with the qaulity of the White pine flooring available to him. The flooring he got locally was never dried right, it was milled poorly or he had stability problems. All of these can lead to big problems with installation, finish, and performance.
But thanks to a determined Boston homeowner who just had to have Wide Plank Eastern White Pine floors in his Maine lake house, we won him over and he called us back to get more flooring!
