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.

The experience by our clients have been overwhelmingly positive, of course who doesn’t want to save money!
