As any other nod to the increase that Battle Ground is experiencing, Floor Connections opened at some stage in April on Main Street in Old Town.
Owner Jason Aw invested over $20,000 in renovations to personalize the space for his desires by taking over a former dental workplace in a stand-on building throughout Central Park. Stepping internally, customers are greeted by 1 two hundred square feet of flooring and countertop samples.
With business clients that include Starbucks, Red Robin, and Walmart, Aw has constructed a recognition of integrity that paints a large stroke from business to residential customers.
Aw’s professional switch into floors became greater an accident than a calculated plan. He formerly frolicked on the assets management side of the business, consisting of remodeling and renting outhouses. His experience installing floors and many other handyman talents gave him the right skill set when the opportunity came to trade gears.
Drawing from his previous enjoy installing floors and working with contractors, Aw can provide even more fees to customers now as a store owner. Floor Connections officially employs five humans; however, Aw’s group includes a dependent-on and dependable community of subcontractors specializing in flooring, countertops, and tile setups.
Aw opened Floor Connections six years ago as a Vancouver resident for two decades in Portland. He later moved it to the Cascade Park neighborhood, and while his rent got up for renewal there, customers and contractors advocated for him to look into moving to the Battle Ground area.
Aw said, “I checked out different locations. They didn’t feel appropriate. It’s more pleasant in Battle Ground, no longer just like the town. This is more hustle and bustle.”
Flooring and extra
Floor Connections offers carpeting, hardwood, laminate flooring, and luxury vinyl tiles and plank. The business is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. To 5 p.m. And via appointment on Saturdays.
Luxury vinyl plank (or LVP) is a popular floor preference for its ease of installation, sturdiness, and waterproof issues. With the evolution of LVP since it was first added, it now runs the gamut of characteristics inclusive of stone, timber, and present-day and traditional styles. It also comes in tile form, lending more than a strip or plank look to flooring designs.
As formerly eluded to, Floor Connections goes past floors. A massive selection of tiles is available in numerous finishes like ceramic, porcelain, and stone. These alternatives allow owners or corporations to add different seems to floors, countertops, walls, and backsplashes. Setting his clients comfortable, Aw recommends contractors who can be considered industry artisans for setting up those surfaces, which can be splendid DIY projects for those with the time and know-how and use less pressure for customers who own neither.
Custom alternatives boom with the line of quartz and granite countertops that Aw continues to enlarge. In fact, in the space of a door that, when changed into fenced, he plans to haul away the ultimate dust and assemble an appealing all-weather showroom to show ceramic and porcelain tiles and granite slabs over seven feet long. This will give shoppers realistic visibility while deciding on declaration-making surfaces.
In addition to more than one parking spot in front of Floor Connections, there is room for 12 greater motors at the store’s back. Aw is considering using this place a couple of times in the coming summertime months to maintain a remnants sale, much like a garage sale, however, with sizes or plenty of fabric too small to be sold for huge tasks.
