Carlisle welcomed to Abode

Abode Builders of Plymouth, New Hampshire, specializes in the design and construction of custom homes that blend traditional style with the natural environment.

So when principal owners Jack McBride and Sue Hawkes began their search for different flooring suppliers, they took special note of Carlisle ads in various magazines and contacted one of our Design Consultants.

“He did an outstanding job helping us through the process. He was extremely knowledgeable, gave good recommendations and was very responsive to all our questions,” says Abode Director of Marketing Jason Maring.

Impressed with the overall look and quality of the Carlisle offerings, Abode chose to install sustainably grown Hickory in their Design Center showroom using random widths of 4 to 12 inches with a Tung oil finish applied on site.

For what would soon prove to be an award-winning model home, they opted for prefinished FSC Certified Antique Reclaimed Oak in 4-inch to 8-inch widths.

“We really liked the character of the flooring, the knots and natural wood features, and these two choices defined that preference very well,” says Jason.

As a company that is very involved with clients throughout both the design and construction phases, Abode is often asked about various flooring choices and doesn’t hesitate to recommend Carlisle.

“Having examples of Carlisle floors on site instills a lot of confidence in our clients. The floors are one of the most talked-about features when we tour prospects through both facilities. They are a great complement to the overall building quality we’re known for,” notes Jason, who adds, “Carlisle has been a great partner to work with and has really helped us strengthen our position in the eyes of our customers. Branding is very important to Abode, so the quality and integrity of the Carlisle brand was a great fit for us.”
