Abbey Paving

So I began working with John Kohler at Abbey Paving around August of 08'. We helped him put together his initial budget for the flooring & office furniture in his building (in case I didn't mention before Rieke Office Interiors is also a furniture/case goods manufacturer), and when I say "we" I mean my furniture sales partner Mike Paris. Well, we contacted John periodically for several months hoping to earn his business. Unfortunately, we were not successful in winning the furniture bid, however, I was awarded the flooring work. The pictures you see above highlight a few of the different material types we provided for this project including an Amtico luxury vinyl floor in the lobby with the Abbey Paving logo water jet cut into the floor. Additionally, you'll see that there are 2 types of Amtico floors in the lobby area that come together in large curves that were also water jet cut into the floor. The gray Amtico flooring has a diamond plate texture and look to it, and the brown Amtico flooring has a copper look to it (very cool, although it doesn't show in the pictures that well). Amtico has some outstanding patterns, textures, and looks in thier floors and is a great way to create a lasting first impression for customers who visit a building.

Unfortunately they're still buttoning things up on site, and the flooring is still awaiting it's final cleaning (which was scheduled for the day after I was on site to take pictures), but you get the feel for how the floors turned out.

The bathroom floors & walls consisted of a beautiful porcelain tile in varying sizes from 12x24 on the floors to 12x24, 6x24, and 2x2 mosaics on the walls as shown in the picture above. Our installers did an outstanding job with the layout of the walls and floors, the tiles were all cut perfectly to outline the drains, and all the inside corners are perfectly spaced at the walls. It's great to work with a team of people from sales, to ordering and delivery, through the installation that are perfectionists and take great pride in what they do. The end result is a perfect installation and a thrilled customer that we've hopefully earned their business for life as a result.

John Kohler is one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet. He's wonderful to work for, he's a great construction manager, and he's got a story for just about everything. He was brought in by Abbey Paving to head up a new construction division for the company. The construction of their own building was his first test and I'd say he passes with flying colors. The office looks outstanding, and he completed it within the time frame everyone hoped. I was proud to be a part of this project, and I'm thankful Abbey Paving chose ROI Flooring for their new office.
