We
figure, if you are going to be a flooring contractor, why
not be a great one?
Top
Floor was conceived in 2006 by Philip Provins (San Diego)
and Tae Oosako (Chiba, Japan). Determined to redefine the
flooring company model, we have focused on combining the best
of Western and Asian business styles. The result is a company
defined by our commitment to honesty, education and customer
service.
Although
Top Floor is less than two years old, our personnel are people
of mature ability in the trade. Phil Provins, owner of Top
Floor, has 15 years in the business. However, it is a focus
on education which validates this experience.
"We
believe" says Phil "that it simply is not enough
to rely solely on past experience. The business of floorcovering
is constantly in a state of change. It is the duty of every
responsible contractor to stay abreast of industry changes
as they occur."
"Consider
the introduction of laminate flooring just a few years ago,"
he continues. "Most contractors were dubious about the
new product. Installation guidelines for laminate in those
days required that glue squeeze out onto the surface, an idea
contrary to all previous notions of floor installation. Based
on past experience, most contractors quickly scoffed at laminate
and decided it was not worth their time to install it.
"My
boss at the time, Mr. Ron Leutticke, was different. He brought
his employees to just about every seminar held for the the
new laminates, and encouraged us to ask questions. In time,
we learned the nuances of the product and became adept at
the unique installation process. Ron's company became well
known in San Diego for its expert laminate installers while
the other shops were forced to play catch-up."
The
lesson Phil learned was simple: experience alone does not
equal greatness; Greatness is a result of focused and deliberate
practice. It is this belief which enables Top Floor not only
to deliver a premium level of skill, but to apply a practiced
sensibility and finesse to every job at hand.
We
devote ourselves to learning through memberships in related
organizations such as the National Wood Floor Association
(NWFA) and the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association. Along
with an unparalleled commitment to customer satisfaction,
we believe it makes us uniquely qualified to assist you in
your project.
There
is one thing we would like to make
clear...
We
are very good at what we do. However, we will always strive
to be more effective.
We intend
to be a leader in our industry. The fulfillment of that vision
depends on our continuing effort to improve our work processes
and understand the needs of our customers.
We know
the value of good communication. We
know that your time is precious. We know that your home is
not a 'jobsite', but your own personal space.We go
to great lengths to make the entire process go as smoothly
as possible, from concept to installation so you are confident
each step along the way.
A
great flooring installation company should bring to a working
relationship skill and ability. Talented eyes, skillful hands,
a cooperative attitude, the proper temper, and the good sense
to understand the importance of schedules and budgets are
the requisite. This unique skill set seperates us and places
us in the rank of those companies who can be relied on to
do excellent work, time after time.
