Commercial Flooring in Alexandria, OH

Alexandria was laid out in 1830 and had 483 people at the 2020 census. It is small enough that the whole village is a few streets around Main, with the Alexandria Museum in a small building on it and Northridge Local Schools serving the area.

Housing here spans the best part of two centuries, and the age of the house is the single thing that decides how a flooring job goes. The oldest properties around the center are frame on plank subfloors, with joists that have settled unevenly and floors that will not take a rigid product without preparation. The mid-century houses on the edges are plywood decks with the usual accumulation of successive floors on top. And there is a scatter of newer building where the questions are flatness and slab moisture instead.

Because it is a small village, we look at everything at one visit. That includes lifting a corner where we can, which tells us more about what the job actually involves than any amount of measuring. The whole point of our all-inclusive project pricing — the flooring, the cushion, removal, standard furniture moving, installation, transitions, stairs and subfloor preparation in one number — is that the number holds, and it can only hold if somebody looked first.

The other thing about a village of this size is that reputation is the entire marketing budget. There are 483 people here. If we leave a job badly finished, everyone knows within two weeks. That is a decent reason to be careful with the stairs and the transitions, which are the details that show.

We install only materials we sell and service only the jobs we installed, and installed products carry a lifetime warranty. In a village where we will be back for the neighbors, that is a promise it is easy to keep.

Alexandria is about ten miles from us, so coming out with samples is a short trip.
