Barnum Quality Hardwood Floors

Barnum Floors was started by father and son, Al & Gary Barnum. Gary had been working in carpentry for several years, but desired the benefits of owning his own business. At that same time, Al was retiring after 35 years as a stock broker. Although Al was ready to leave the demands of the financial industry, he was not truly ready to retire. As the story goes, in 1994 Al was sitting at a resort in Costa Rica visiting his youngest daughter, Kelly, who was serving in the Peace Corp. He began conversing with another American who was in the business of exporting teak.

Most homes build prior to 1960 have hardwood through some, if not all areas of the home. More and more frequently homeowners are removing the carpet from these areas and refinishing the hardwood that lies underneath. This is a longer term solution than carpeting due to aesthetics, health & durability. Whether the wood in your home is two years old or 100 years old, refinishing your hardwood will add real beauty and lasting durability. Before the floors can be finished, it is necessary to remove all existing base shoe (quarter round), appliances, and of course, furniture.
