We recently told you about a customer in Newfoundland, Canada that experienced the frustration of an inferior installation and the help provided by a Carlisle Preferred Installer.  While we never wish this on any customer when we hear from customers with these stories we offer to help to however we can and when the Love Family in Maryland contacted Wide Plank Specialist Adam Whitney, of our Washington, DC showroom for help he knew right where to turn ~ Bob Humphries at Majestic Wood Floors helped the Love's repair and complete the Wide Plank Eastern White Pine Floors they so desired for their home.

Read more about the project and how a Carlisle Preferred Installer can help your project turn out just the way you want it!

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
