About John Karczewski

For most people, flooring is something you walk on. To me, it’s much, much more. Flooring is a critical style element of any construction or remodeling project. It adds color, life and pizazz to a room. It can flow with the tones and patterns around it, or stand out as a bold statement. Its options for appearance, materials and costs are almost limitless. Did you know that flooring is one of the biggest purchases for most people? Making an informed choice is critical. Anyone can quote a price; the difference my customers experience is the knowledge, ideas and service of someone with three decades of experience in the flooring business. I’m a friendly, outgoing, detail-oriented guy. Above all, I listen closely to my customers’ needs and desires for their projects. Each one is different. I offer guidance about the best flooring options for any situation. Even after 30+ years of laying out jobs, I still personally take the measurements and write out a detailed proposal. I follow through on ordering materials, and go over every detail with the installer to ensure all goes as planned. In short, I’m my customer’s advocate, partner and “service guy.” I sweat the details, so they don’t have to. They’re relaxed, knowing that any problems will be quickly fixed. Laminate, ceramic, hardwood, carpeting, luxury vinyl plank or luxury vinyl tile – which is best for your project? We’ll decide together, and make sure that your new flooring is put in as you want it, when you need it. No matter the size of a project, residential or commercial, I still get a sense of pride and accomplishment at working with customers to achieve their goals. The smiles on their faces makes it all worthwhile.
