Doing It Yourself?
We pride ourselves on offering our customers solutions for their flooring needs. And certainly we have the largest selection of flooring materials in the Chattahoochee Valley. Not only can we help you make a selection best suited for you and your lifestyle, but we can install your new floor for a one stop shopping experience. Of course some of our customers are much more handy than yours truly and prefer to simply “do it yourself!” We want you to have it your way…turnkey installed by our experienced craftsmen, your own installer or do it yourself and we’ll provide the materials.
In fact, flooring installation can be fun for the whole family. I just reviewed a wonderful home project and had to share it with our readers. Thanks to the Crawfords for not only being a customer, but for sharing their installation experience with us. By the way, the floors look great guys…super job. And special thanks to Emily for the production!
If you watch the attached video, you’ll see the Crawfords hard at work AND having fun (ask Dad last!). Thanks again guys for sharing!

Custom Tile, No Job Too Small!
Marble tile with black accents and basket weave center.
Becky recently completed a tile half bath at her home which is absolutely gorgeous. She designed the floor and wall tiles using Casa Bianca Marble (mostly white with gray veining) accented with polished Negro Margina Marble. Using different sizes and some design creativity, she produced a completley custom tile installation, complete with “basket weave rug” effect in the center.
Wall tile with design and black "pencil" accent.
Becky teamed her husband Joey for this design and execution (Joey is an outstanding tile installer). In Becky’s words, “I wanted a classic design that would be appreciated for years to come. Black and white bathrooms have been a standard since the early 1900′s. I also wanted to challenge Joey to tweak the design to show off his talents as a craftsman…of course, he had to work it in between “paying” jobs!”
As of this posting, no marital discord or counseling has been reported!!!
Come see Becky, Jenny, Chris, Letha, Sondra, Danny or Barbara with any of your design or flooring ideas.

Learning is a Constant at CFM and Steamatic
Learning is (or should be) a life long experience. We try to practice what we preach. At Flooring & More, we have regular PK’s (product knowledge meetings). The subjects can cover products, installation techniques, promotions, applications, trends, and a whole lot more. We are committed to providing expert advice and guidance through our store where there are literally 1,000′s of products. Some products are better suited for certain applications than others. For instance, you may have seen an earlier post on our dogs (family members and the live with us inside as well as out). We are also looking and replacing existing carpet with wood flooring. The choice quickly moved to a handscrapped, distressed wood look to better “tolerate and disguise” the inevitable knicks and scratches that will occur over time.

Not all of our training is at the store or even local. We travel to get the best information and to attend regular trade shows and seminars. Below is a picture of Glen (www.SteamaticOfColumbus.com division). He is playing co-pilot on our way to Ft. Worth, Tx for training and to bring back some new equipment.
