Welcome to Janine & Michael's Floor Talk Blog

Helping Orange and Middletown, Connecticut Homeowners Transform Their Floors

Floor Decor Design Center is a family-owned business that my daughter Janine and I run. And, as of January 1, 2021, Janine is the boss! We are passionate about helping homeowners in the Orange and Middletown, Connecticut areas transform their floors and their homes.

In fact, since 1998, we have been committed to doing so. From vision to design, execution to meticulous installation, we can transform your home room by room to a haven to be enjoyed by you and your family for years to come. 

Our goal is to make it easy for you from beginning to end. We count on the reviews customers like you leave to confirm that we've been successful and determine how to improve.

That success has allowed us to also help local businesses.

We care intensely about making sure that your finished project looks amazing, so we can hear how much you love the job we did.

From Floors, Back Splashes, Countertops to Custom Design Area Rugs and More

To give you an idea of what to expect from a product and services perspective, here are our areas of specialty:

• We sand and refinish hardwood flooring. 

• We install pre-finished and site-finished hardwood floors in all species.

• Browse through our full selection of natural stone, ceramic, and porcelain tile for floors, walls, and backsplash installations.

• Need waterproof flooring solutions? We carry Luxury Vinyl Plank and tile waterproof flooring for the basement, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and any areas of the home where water or moisture is a concern.

What to Expect from Michael's Floor Talk Blog 

On this blog, we'll share with you our passion and knowledge for flooring and home design materials.  That includes advice on how to select flooring, how to care for it, before and after transformation stories, floor and home design trends, and related topics.

We invite you to respond, add comments, make suggestions, and even disagree - with one caveat:

Please keep comments relevant to the conversations taking place, maintain respect for all those involved, and contribute value and depth to the discussion.

We will moderate comments and quickly remove (or not publish) any that are offensive, disrespectful, or irrelevant. Please don't bother commenting to advertise or promote yourself; those are particularly tiresome.

One more observation, please don't post private information in this public forum. If you have comments that relate specifically to your own installation, rather than post them here, please contact us directly. 

Thank you for reading, visiting, and being part of this conversation. Let us know about any flooring questions we can help you with.
