Accomplishing do-it-yourself projects can be personally fulfilling and empowering. However, certain projects require the guidance, tools and expertise of professionals. Choosing the proper flooring for your home or office deserves lots of forethought and research. A small mistake could result in damaging the floor beyond repair and compromising the integrity and safety of the material. This one decision affects the aesthetics, balance and maintenance level of every room. There are more factors to consider other than basic appearance, color and comfort. Being mindful of the materials in your flooring and the condition of the environment is also a smart way to protect the health and wellbeing of family, friends and employees.
Customers in the Midlands are fortunate to have Brian and Megan Peed, owners of Floor Boys Flooring Professionals. As local residents, both Brian and Megan are passionate about being an active part of the community, as well as supporting and contributing to local charities, sponsoring sports teams and hosting events to raise cancer awareness. They have four daughters: Ashton, the oldest, manages the developing upstate location; Olivia is a teacher at Pineridge Middle School; Gabby is a rising 10th grader at Lexington High School and Anna Grace is a rising 6th grader at Beechwood Middle School.
Relationships with customers are built on trust, respect and mutual understanding, which extends beyond the initial purchase. Customer loyalty and satisfaction have resulted in repeat clients, consistent referrals and continuous positive reviews. “You can have high-quality products, great service or low prices, but you can’t have all three at the same time.” Those were the exact words from a flooring industry veteran, which immediately revealed the ultimate goal for Floor Boys Flooring Professionals. “Our mission has been to prove this statement wrong, which we have done consistently from day one!” said Brian Peed.
Brian’s journey into the flooring business began as a bright young salesman promoting products for some of the most prestigious flooring retailers in the field. In 2006, with almost two decades of flooring experience, Brian founded Floor Boys, LLC. He and brother-in-law Bart Taylor decided to reinvent and reintroduce reputable service to the flooring industry as installers of hardwood and tile to discerning customers. “At Floor Boys, our neighbors don’t just come to us because we’ve got the widest variety and best value in flooring around,” Brian explains. “We also have the best flooring project process available on the market.” The Floor Boy process has been perfected and tweaked through the years to accommodate the ever-changing economy, trends, styles and techniques.
When in the market for new floors, there are a lot of questions that come to mind such as: What is the current flooring trend? How long will it last? How much and what kind of padding do I need? Which material would be safe for the traffic in this area? How will this affect young children, elderly people or pets? How much does it cost? What are the options available to me? How do I install the floors?” For high traffic areas, you may want to consider a flooring option requiring less mainte- nance like vinyl or laminate. Hardwood and carpet typically require a bit more upkeep but have a number of other benefits that may make it worth it if you have the time.
Original wood flooring is one of the most sought after features in the current market; it makes for a strikingly beautiful and unique feature to any room. Unfortunately, many hardwood floors have suffered years of neglect and mistreatment or have been covered by new flooring, such as tile, linoleum or carpet. The subfloor may be uneven, causing lumps or rippling in any covering. Should you restore or completely redo the floor? In most cases, the floors can be restored by replacing floorboards, making repairs and refinishing them. However, sometimes this can be as lengthy and costly a process as tearing up and installing new floors. It’s not recommended that homeowners restore hardwood floors themselves. The process to achieve a quality furniture-finished floor as the large professional crews managed by Bart Taylor is second to none. Either way it’s important to do some research in order to set a realistic budget and timeline to manage your expectations. It’s best to discuss your options with a flooring expert by setting up a free consultation.
Floor Boys can service residential and commercial customers in the market for hardwood, carpet, area rugs, tile, laminate or LVT.

The Floor Boys professional sales staff and technicians are prepared to tackle all of your flooring challenges and offer the best options for the purpose of the space as efficiently as possible.
