A little education goes a long way
- Posted by
Kevin Crowder in the Carlisle Denver showroom told us all the story of how he spent some time educating a builder about the Heart Pine flooring he had ordered and that, in the end, the results pleased everyone involved.
The builder had ordered more than 3,500 square feet of the 11-inch Heart Pine flooring, prefinished with Concord Honey stain for a home in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Concern was expressed about raised butt joints here and there. Kevin said he explained they are “part of the look in a wide pine and that just because it is prefinished these ‘defects’, as they were perceived, are part of it.”
He said he told the builder “he certainly could biscuit joint any boards he felt a little leery about before installing.”
Kevin coached the builder, the builder coached the homeowner.
In the end, said Kevin, “everyone comments on the floors and that they turned out beautiful.”
