The Floor Barn is owned and operated by us, the Heltzel Family. Brian, James, Sue and Don have made improving your home and business their passion. Initially, we started our little company as a remodeling and flooring installation company named Putting On The Fix. Then over the years our clients were always looking towards us to provide their materials for them. Throughout that time as well, we also had rehabbed several homes and during that time we discovered that there had to be a better way to get more affordable floor materials to the public then what we encountered. After building strategic industry contacts and setting in motion a business plan to offer wholesale prices to the retail market, we opened the doors of The Floor Barn to the public. The experience by our clients have been overwhelmingly positive, of course who doesn’t want to save money!
