In 1995 I was ready for a new career. My uncle in Nashville had just started working for himself building hardwood floors. He had two jobs under his belt and I joined forces with him. Since that time I've been in the hardwood business. I worked for him for nearly three years, daily driving back and forth to Nashville, Franklin, and Brentwood. When work began on the widening of interstate 24 in 1998, I decided the commute had to end. I started working for myself finally. I partnered up with my friend Ron for a while. We struggled to keep enough work to make a great living but we were on our own and it felt great. Ron moved away to Colorado after about a year and I was on my own to make things work from that point on. At that point I focused my work in Murfreesboro because the growth of the town had really set in and I was just tired of all the driving. I quit taking jobs in Nashville and started referring all my Nashville calls to my uncle. The business just grew and grew and in 2003 I was working a crew of eight full time employees. That boom-time taught me a lot about the new construction industry and the different ways that flooring reacts in new construction situations. We normally worked on four different jobs a week back then. It was around that time that I incorporated and became officially known as Murfreesboro Hardwood Flooring Inc. In February 2004 I had the opportunity to purchase a historic home on Maney Avenue in downtown Murfreesboro. The move to downtown caused me to focus a lot of attention on restoring older homes. In the years since then we've focused on restoration and refinishing work. We've refinished antique floors for many of the homeowners along East Main Street's Historic District. We've worked in six buildings on the square so far and we've installed reclaimed Poplar in the Oaklands Historic House Museum. We've also refinished a number of rooms and the staircase in the pre-civil war Women's Club building. It feels great to repair these old homes and make them beautiful again. We are currently focusing on residential remodel jobs. We will happily bid new construction jobs but we tend to book in advance from two to five weeks. Thanks for visiting this site!
