Now is one of the best times to visit Floorz to replace your winter-worn flooring

By Beth Newcomb

There’s a good time and a great time to replace your flooring. A good time is any time of the year, if you pay a visit to Brian Erickson’s Floorz. But a great time is during the spring or fall, when Floorz hosts the bi-annual Karastan flooring sale and offers rebates of up to $1,000.

If you opt for Karastan padding beneath your luxury carpet, you’ll enjoy a rebate of up to $4 per yard. Both offers are happening right now.

When it comes to offering the widest selection of all grades of carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl flooring, Floorz is a recognized area leader.

But Brian kicks his service level up a notch by staffing his store with talented designers who can help you coordinate the right flooring style with your décor. He also employs installers who work exclusively for Floorz and have decades of solid experience installing every type of flooring. And the cherry on the sundae is he’s a hands-on owner, so you’ll likely benefit from his 20-plus years of expertise when you visit his gorgeous Copley-based store.

“We stand behind all of the brands we carry,” Brian states.

“We don’t buy seconds or overstocks, and we only work with quality manufacturers. We also offer free measuring and quotes, something the box stores often charge for. Plus, when you work with us, you’re supporting a locally owned business, and we certainly appreciate that.”

Brian says the trend toward hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring shows no sign of waning and suggests that anyone not in the market for a full room of Karastan carpeting consider having a custom cut area rug made from the premium brand, instead.

“People recognize the quality, style and high-end design the Karastan name represents,” he says. “We have some customers who will only buy Karastan. That’s how good it is.”

Now that winter’s frozen grime can no longer wreak havoc inside your home, Brian suggests sprucing up your abode by updating your flooring.

After you’ve selected the style and color you love, it takes just about two weeks to have it installed after purchase.

Don’t want to wait for your order to arrive? Floorz has more than 50 rolls of carpeting in stock and ready to go.

On Trend
The colors of today’s hottest fashions have a way of migrating into our homes in the form of furniture, accessories and even flooring. With gold all the rage for gowns at the recent Met Gala in New York, it’s no surprise to learn that gold is wildly popular for carpeting as well. Brian says the cut-and-loop style in any color also tops the trend list.

Textured carpeting reigns supreme, and Floorz has a ton of options from which to choose, with both wool and nylon fibers available.

Brian also notes that the ultra-soft Smart Strand by Karastan is a perfect choice for any room you and your family spend a lot of time in.

And if trendy tile makes your heart beat a little faster, you’ll go nuts for the just-in Glazzio accent tile now offered at Floorz. Stunning shapes and mod designs are signatures of the collection, perfect for anyone with a flair for the unexpected.
