Additional charges may apply to areas with excessive or heavy furniture or any furniture that requires disassembly. We do not move heavy appliances, antiques, grandfather clocks, aquariums, pool tables, waterbeds, safes, gym equipment, or baby grand/grand pianos (most of these items need to be professionally moved). Contact our Preferred Flooring team for details.

Customer Testimonials

We recently built a house and had a wonderful experience working withTricia and Kim. They helped us select beautiful tile for our kitchen, baths, fireplace andlaundry room. Our budget was respected, and we were shown numerous options. We also had them install hardwood flooring throughout the house. We love it all and had the best time working with this company. We could not be happier. Friends and family have given us so many compliments on the tile and flooring. It all came together with Kim and Tricia's expert advice. Highly recommend!!
