  3. Lovell's LOVE Harwood FlooringWed, 22 May 2013 15:19:10 GMT
    --> Mama on a Budget here to announce that the Fort Thomas Matters family is expanding!  Wait, what was that husband?  Oh, no not in that way.  I mean our advertising family (what am I, crazy?).  Lovells Hardwood is the latest locally owned and operated business to realize the power of local advertising.  Now, to introduce them.  Owned and operated by Robert (Bobby) Lovell and his Father Al Lovell and family, they are a hardwood flooring specialist located along South Fort Thomas Ave in the Midway District.   Their specialty is hardwood floors. They not only lay new flooring but also they repair, sand, and refinish existing flooring including any necessary demolition.   With so many old homes in Fort Thomas with the original (and beautiful) hardwood floors, this is a useful contact to have.   Additionally, they are Better Business Bureau A+ rated and they do all of the work themselves (no sub-contracting, so what you see is what you get). Their showrooms are open daily by appointment for customers to stop in and check out some of the different flooring types, sizes, colors and finishes or to check out pictures of different projects that they have completed. Find out more on their website at http://www.lovellshardwood.com/ or by contacting them per the below:   Office: (859) 240-2611 Showroom: 1029 S. Ft. Thomas Ave. * Ft. Thomas, KY 41075 Email: lovellshardwoodflooring@yahoo.com Office Hours: Mon. thru Sat. - 9:00AM to 6:00PM Per Bobby:  This summer we are offering free DUST FREE SANDING upgrade specials to any customer who mentions any Ft. Thomas Ads (including Ft. Thomas Matters) at the time of their initial quotes. This saves our customers hundreds of dollars! So, join me in welcoming Lovell Hardwood to the FTM family and support locally-owned and operated (family) businesses.  More...
