Business 101: Where tradesmen can find wholesale flooring in the GNO


Wood Floor by drb62

 

Smart tradesmen and professionals know that providing the highest quality products at the lowest possible cost to their clients and customers will earn them more business in the future. There are several tradesmen and professionals who need access to wholesale floor coverings. While there are dozens of flooring suppliers in the Greater New Orleans area, there are at least two companies in the Greater New Orleans area that can fulfill that need with focused service to the professional and tradesman. One is Prosource, with two locations in the area, one in Harahan and one in Mandeville, and Floorco, also with locations in Mandeville and Harahan, as well as an outlet in Livingston Parish.

Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade is a prototype wholesale floor covering outlet in the area. Floorco sells exclusively directly to real estate professionals, builders, designers, and flooring installation tradesmen. Floorco offers a huge selection of brand name floors and specialty items in the most popular styles. Floorco provides exceptional customer service through a knowledgeable and well-trained staff. Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade also offers the least expensive floor covering options for real estate sales professionals, homebuilders, interior designers, property managers, independent flooring installers and the customers and clients of these professionals and tradesmen.
Direct to the Trade

Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade was founded by David Gaspard, a native of the New Orleans area. David’s idea was to cater to the builder market and to work directly with real estate professionals, brokers, property managers, builders, homebuyers, interior designers, and tradesmen, like independent installers.

Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade takes a burden off this targeted group of professionals if they so chose by working directly with their customers. The builder or other professional sends clients into a Floorco store to make flooring selections on their own. This gives the homebuyer or client an opportunity to find the flooring he or she wants.
Products

Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade sells products that both captivate and excite customers, as well as provide years of enjoyable service.

Floorco, Inc. Direct to the Trade sells carpet, hardwood, ceramic and porcelain tile, marble and granite, laminates, and area rugs from names that you trust. Floorco is also expanding into some non-floor items like pre-fabed granite and marble countertops at one third of the fabricated prices.

A staggering selection of samples are on display at one of Floorco’s three six thousand square foot showrooms in the New Orleans area, one in Mandeville, LA, one in Harahan, LA, and the newest store in Walker, LA. Customers can take their time finding just the right carpet or tile in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
