A message from Larry Gibson | President

I would like to Thank You for visiting our company through this website. 
 
Our company was founded as Install A-Flor Limited on July 18, 1988, as our community, at that time, was not offering the level of contract flooring service it deserved. The twin cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, along with the Provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland were dry of a commercial flooring supplier dedicated to professional service, quality, choice, latest fashion and competitive price. With this in mind, the challenge was to make my dream reality.
 
With the help of my wife, Patricia Gibson, family, friends and most importantly, our clients; today we stand proud.
 
For over 20 years Install A-Flor Limited group of companies, still locally owned and operated; employs approximately over one hundred full time staff members, a number of part time (students) and hundreds of contract labour services, amongst our 8 locations.
 
Our ultimate goal is to have all our staff and companies provide the best service for our customers while meeting and exceeding their expectations. Our newest addition to our goals is to do even more with our Green Product line.  
 
Floors Plus, our residential arm, represents 35% of our company’s annual sales. Floors Plus Commercial, represents 38% of our annual sales. Dantra Specialty Products, our consulting and wholesale division, represents 27% of our annual sales.
 
We have won many awards over the past 20 years and wish to thank you, our customers, again. Everyone on our team looks forward to the opportunity of working with you on your project.
