Hardwood floors add both beauty and value to a
home, making wood the most sought-after flooring
by homeowners today. The wide variety of woods
available—along with custom inlays, medallions and
borders—take options and personal style to an entirely
different level. When craftsmanship and specialty
flooring is desired, people turn to the experts at
Tuckahoe Hardwoods.
Established in 2004, Tuckahoe Hardwoods consistently provides the complete spectrum of hardwood flooring materials and services to satisfied homeowners and builders across the Eastern Shore. With the combined knowledge of brothers Johnny and George Dent, Tuckahoe Hardwoods has quickly become the team that property owners and home builders choose for their hardwood flooring needs. A visit to their showroom in Easton, or even just a simple conversation with Johnny, the onsite specialist, makes it easy to see why Tuckahoe Hardwoods is the growing choice for all types of flooring projects.
“We enjoy introducing people to new ideas and finding exactly what they want to give their home their own personal touch, “ says George Dent. “We pride ourselves on getting products that other people cannot get, such as our own custom milled reclaimed elm from Ming Dynasty barns in China. Once people contact us or use our services, they discover why others keep coming back. Repeat and referral business is extremely important—I think it says a lot about us and the level of care we put into customer satisfaction.”
Whether using traditional domestic woods (such as walnut, hickory, cherry or oak), alternative exotics (including Brazilian cherry, Santos mahogany, tigerwood and Australian cypress) or hard to come by reclaimed woods (like wormy chestnut and heart pine), Tuckahoe finds the right fit for its customers. The Dents take time to show clients several grades and types of products, both unfinished and prefinished, so customers can make an informed decision.
“If someone is thinking about using hickory, but isn’t quite sure if it will go with their vision, we encourage them to join us on a visit to a home we’ve completed with hickory,” says Johnny Dent. “When people are looking for a stain, we bring a variety of choices to help in the decision-making process. Our floors are designed to last a lifetime, so we want customers to be sure the wood they choose has the exact look and feel they want in their home.”
In addition to working with homeowners, the Dents continue to be the preferred hardwood experts of prominent builders such as Ilex Construction®, Lundberg Builders, Focus Construction, and William M. Hughes, Inc. The satisfaction that comes with being recognized as a company that does excellent work is another important aspect of the Tuckahoe Hardwoods culture. Repeat customers notice right away that the same individuals are working on their new project.
“Our pride shows in home installations as well as in the unique products we sell,” remarks Johnny Dent. “Our top-of-the-line craftsmanship and competitive pricing keep us a step above the rest.”
