Joe Gordon

I’ve spent 39 years around floors — selling them, installing them, and cleaning them — and I still get a kick out of the work. Over that time, my team and I have handled just about every surface a St. Louis home or business can throw at us: hardwood, carpet, vinyl, and ceramic tile, plus professional cleaning for carpet and tile. 

I’m certified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). That certification matters most when it comes to this question: does my carpet actually need to be replaced? Sometimes, the answer is no. Before you spend money on new carpet, let me take a look — a professional cleaning often buys you another year or two, and there’s real satisfaction in saving someone’s carpet instead of tearing it out.

I’d rather stretch the life of the floor you have than sell you a replacement you don’t need yet.

Joe Gordon, Owner

I work with homeowners as well as commercial clients — property managers and real estate agents who need floors turned around quickly and done right. Outside of work, I’m lucky to have a wonderful wife, three sons, three daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren who keep me busy.

4 Floor Types Serviced

Get more life out of your floors — or replace them right.

Often a professional carpet cleaning or a hardwood refinish is all a floor needs, and it buys you years. And if you clean or refinish first but still decide to replace, I’ll credit that work toward your new floor. When a fresh start really is the smarter move, you’ll get a straight recommendation and expert installation — no pressure either way.

Flooring Services

Sales, installation, cleaning, and restoration — one experienced set of hands for every floor in your home or building.

Carpet – Cleaning, New Carpet & Installation

New, worn, or just tired from too many St. Louis winters — we sell it, lay it, and clean it. Not sure it needs replacing? A professional cleaning often buys you another year or two.

Hardwood — Sanding, Refinishing & Installation

Sanding and refinishing brings back the grain and color without the cost of a full replacement. And when a refinish won’t cut it, we install new hardwood from the subfloor up.

Ceramic Tile — Cleaning, New Tile & Installation

We deep-clean and restore the tile you have, stock a wide selection when you’re ready for a new look, and set it level and clean so it stays put — kitchens, baths, entryways, and commercial floors.

Vinyl Tile — Sales & Installation

Water-resistant, durable, and low-maintenance — the practical pick for kitchens, basements, and high-traffic spaces. We carry a broad range of styles and install for a flat, seamless finish.
