Welcome New Member New England Flooring

Join us in welcoming New England Flooring to the chamber. It is a brick-and-mortar flooring store that has been in business for 27 years. They install hardwood floors and sand and finish floors using numerous types of stains and finishes. They carry carpet, sheet vinyl, porcelain tile, and Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring and they install all of these products. One of their main focuses is working on the flooring of older 18th and 19th-century houses.

They will gladly set up an over-the-phone conversation regarding your flooring project and offer an in-home evaluation of what you can expect as a result. They are fully insured and will provide an insurance certificate upon request.
