Ann-Maree used to visit Tannum Sands to see family and holiday regularly. She loves the relaxed vibe as soon as you come into town.

In April 2021, she decided to move up with her husband and take her photography business with her. The shed on her new property would make a perfect photography studio. The problem was, it was a bare concrete floor at the time.

Ann-Maree wanted something more professional, fmodern, and on-trend.

More than just looking good, though, she had specific technical flooring requirements as well.

As a professional photography studio, her new floor couldn’t throw off bright spots from camera flashes or distract the eye in her photos with over the top colours or patterns.

Ann-Maree had been looking at vinyl flooring but eventually decided against it.

She needed something versatile and durable considering it was going in a shed, and there was always a possibility that water could come in.

It could even be turned back into car storage in the future.

Epoxy flake flooring ticked all the boxes for her.

Ann-Maree was referred to Gordon Flooring by her electrician. They’d recently had an epoxy flake floor completed and were very happy with the results.

When Roger came out to quote, he discussed Ann-Maree’s technical requirements, like needing a satin finish and warmer tones. He suggested solutions based not just on looks but also on what would work best for her photo studio.

Roger had samples ready to show, but it’s not always easy to visualise how small samples will translate over a larger area.

So he took the time to explain how the flake would be sprinkled by hand, what the pattern would look like, and how it would be spread out evenly.

He gave her as much information as possible to help her make an informed buying decision, including:

– What was involved in the process,
– Where the materials would come from, and
– Left samples so she didn’t have to make her mind up on the spot.

Pricing was less of a concern for Ann-Maree, but it needed to look professional, meet all her technical requirements, and stand the test of time.

At one stage, Ann-Maree considered laying vinyl planking herself. But after discussing the job with Roger, she saw the value in getting an epoxy flake floor done professionally.

Kim and Scott Underwood build homes in the Gladstone region, servicing areas from Mount Larcom to Biloela to Agnes Water and everywhere in between.

They previously owned a GJ Gardner Homes franchise before going out on their own with Earthbuild.

They’ve used Gordon Flooring to install flooring in around 120 homes they’ve built for clients over the past eight years, as well as the vinyl planking in their own home.

The first couple of years building in Gladstone, they ran the gauntlet with different tradies, but they continually struggled with communication and dependability.

As busy builders, they needed someone who could provide quality workmanship on time, on budget, and work around other trades with minimal interruption.

Kim and Scott first met Roger while he was contracting for Carpet Call in Gladstone.

After dealing with him, it was clear they’d found someone they could depend on for all their flooring needs.

Not just carpet or vinyl flooring, but polished concrete and epoxy flooring too, which is rare in the industry.

Gordon Flooring is a one-stop-shop for the best flooring in the Gladstone area.

Eventually, when Carpet Call left town, Kim and Scott insisted that Roger continue being their go-to flooring contractor.

As franchise owners, they had favourable supply contracts in place thanks to the size of GJ Gardner Homes.

But even when ordering materials from elsewhere, they wanted Roger to be the person to install it. He was the only contractor they’d use.

At Gordon Flooring, we pride ourselves on our service.

You can be confident when Roger Gordon shows up to quote, he’ll also be the one on-site. And he’ll oversee your flooring installation from start to finish.

You won’t have the same issues dealing with some of the bigger names in town, like talking to one person in the showroom and then another on site.

That was a major point of differentiation when dealing with Gordon Flooring, according to Kim and Scott. Clear and honest communication goes a long way in this business.

When it came time for them to do the floors in their own home, it was only natural to work with Gordon Flooring.

Their existing floors were a mix of carpet and tiles, but they wanted to replace it all with quality vinyl flooring.

Scott provided the materials, and Roger came in and laid it within days.

Because they knew the square meterage, agreed rates, and the quality of Gordon Flooring’s workmanship, they didn’t want to risk working with anyone else.

Decima had a downstairs living area she’d gutted during a renovation.

She’d ripped out the outdated maroon carpet, and it had been sitting bare for a year while she researched her options.

In its current state, it wasn’t a usable space. It was dark, and the floor was rough with all kinds of irregularities, thanks to the previous owner doing a lot of his own handy work.

She wanted something functional for her teenage son and pets. Something easy to clean, and that looked great.

Decima started her research by visiting some of the bigger names in town. But she didn’t feel like they understood her needs.

One sales rep tried to push her towards laying carpet. Not an ideal solution with a teenage boy and multiple dogs running around.

Another told her the condition of her floors would be a problem. And that she’d need to hire someone separate first to bring the floor up to scratch before they do their work.

Decima worried that she’d have to go back to the carpet sales rep or just live with the ugly floors.

The indoor/outdoor entertaining area was a purposed poured concrete slab that was deliberately laid for a polished concrete finish.

The area is approx 50sq metres and it took a total of 10 days to complete all prep work through to finished product.

We provided the service of mechanical polished concrete with a semi-gloss finish.

This beautiful large home had several different coloured ceramic tiles throughout when we quoted this job.

After a consultation and quote with our flooring specialist the owner chose to take the option of our team to install a leveling system over the top of the existing tiles followed by installation of our premium vinyl plank range in colour spotted gum.

Having a busy schedule this was the perfect option for our client, rather than removing all of the tiles throughout.

Kenny and Roger Gordon met by chance when Roger grabbed a coffee at BOY Espresso Bar in Gladstone.

Kenny was already considering polished concrete floors. But no one else in town did polished concrete at the time. So when he met Roger, they got straight to talking options.

With 26 years of experience in the flooring industry, Roger is in a unique position to give you an expert opinion on the best flooring options for your space.

You won’t be sold something by a salesperson in a showroom and then have a stranger show up to your job site who’s got different ideas.

You’ll know he’s recommending the right product for the right job, and he’ll be the one overseeing the whole project for you.

At BOY Espresso Bar, Roger was able to give Kenny multiple options on the spot.

As well as polished concrete for the main area, he recommended an epoxy finish for the back of the store, which was currently vinyl but had seen better days.
