James Chahalis Owner/Operator started his wood flooring career in the 80’s, 30 years ago, working for several flooring companies while learning all aspects of the flooring business including; sanding, staining, refinishing and installing. In the early 90’s he became dissatisfied with the way most wood flooring companies in the area ran their businesses. These companies scheduled three or more jobs every day by “banging them out”, leaving no time for quality work. Any inexperienced person could pick a name, rent an old obsolete sanding machine, buy inexpensive toxic chemicals, throw an ad in the Penny Saver and sell “cheap” floor jobs; it was about cutting your price under the “other guy” to get the job. Customers were calling daily, always screaming and complaining, and referrals were nonexistent. James, with his love of working with wood, as well as being a perfectionist at heart, dreamed of a new concept (or rather an old concept).

Showcase Wood Flooring was born!  James with the help of his wife Cathy, who has several years of business experience, set out to separate themselves from the pack. James apprenticed under the best “old-world wood craftsman” and learned the art of wood floorings.

His approach has been to make each home a work of art and providing every customer unrivaled excellence!
