How is it that some companies can provide “Free Installation?”  First you have to know that free installation is NOT available on all items in the store.  It is only available for certain items and you must purchase pad that is marked up considerably.  

Additionally,  these stores typically charge for things that are normally included in the price.  In carpet installation, for example, it can be for samples, measurements, tac strip, and other facets of the installation usually not charged separately.  Please read the small print! 

Remember the old adage, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

The floor covering industry like all industries has experienced a huge leap in the quality of materials, adhesives, tools, technology, and installation techniques. Businesses in this industry must keep themselves up to date on environmental issues, government regulations, how new adhesives react with new surfaces, and specialty material installations to name just a few.

Many companies make little or no effort to keep both their salespeople and installation staff up to date on the latest techniques and technologies.  At Five Star Floors we spend enormous effort to keep up with everything from the latest trends in flooring to the proper techniques for their installation.  We believe that installation services should NOT be left up to the lowest bidder.  We believe that the installation of floor covering is a craft, an art, and now today is a knowledge based science.

People often seek out a simple and cheap solution to complex installations ---  a magic solution if you will.  We at Five Star Floors believe there is no magic solution.  We believe there is no magic to installations.  There is only hard work, quality products, and educated people.  We strive with every installation to share our experience, knowledge, integrity, and craftsmanship with each and every one of our customers.

Grand Canyon features time-worn, time-textured looks that heighten the elegance and rustic charm of this gorgeous, green collection. These styles are already a work of art, as well as a technological marvel with a superior green story: Grand Canyon is the first 8" solid plank made 100% from recycled mill by-products. The premium solid wood is painstakingly hand-scraped, a process that reveals the handsomely defined grain pattern. Stylish colors and fresh texture emphasizes the natural wood grain and makes a bold statement of style or this collection. The texture technique involves side-to-side and horizontal scraping, which creates an effect like quarter-sawn wood - a late 19th century technique used in very fine floors. This beautiful scraped texture - only able to be done by hand - results in a brindled coloration like that found in nature.
