For almost fifty years, A&D Carpet and Hardwoods has been a premier supplier of flooring for homes and businesses in the CSRA. Founded by Angela and David Key, the tradition of providing high quality products with exceptional customer service continues with each client who walks through their doors.

“It’s a pleasure to work with the community and have the opportunity to help our clients with design work and lead them to a product based on their home’s particular needs,” shares Davina Key-Strickland, Sales and Marketing Manager.

The team at A&D recognize that the process of designing a space and choosing flooring types and colors can be overwhelming, especially with so many options on the market. So they make it a priority to sit down with clients and help them narrow the scope of what would be the best fit for their project.

“Because everyone’s home is so unique, we listen to every client and make sure we understand the goals of each project,” says Davina. “All our design consultants have a great way of gathering information from our clients and pulling out samples, because most people don’t know where to start.”

Narrowing down choices in the showroom is a great first step, but the true transformation begins when the pieces begin to come together in the actual space. “I think for all of us, our favorite part is going into a home and helping bring someone’s vision to life,” Davina explains. “It’s exciting to see these new potential products in their space with their lighting, furniture, and cabinets. We can also pair products together and help select things like paint colors and backsplash or shower tiles to bring the whole design together.”

In areas with heavy foot traffic or where children and pets are present, it is important to select a material that can withstand daily wear and tear. “Hardwood is lovely and beautiful as it is, but one of the characteristics of hardwood is that it can get scratched and indented and it does not like moisture,” says Davina. “There are new options that look very realistic, like laminate or luxury vinyl, that offer a higher resistance to damage from pets and are more kid friendly.”

Once the design is set and materials are ordered, A&D uses their own in-house craftsmen who are CFI certified installers, have passed background checks, and are part of a trusted team, to complete projects. Using certified installers instead of subcontractors protects clients and maintains the product’s warranty.

For the team at A&D, building relationships is a priority, something reflected in the many loyal clients and consistent referrals they have earned over the years. “I hope that people who come visit us sense that we truly want to help them,” says Davina. “From the first time they step into the showroom until we walk out the door with the final product, we want their experience with us to be not only streamlined, but a pleasure.”

The A&D Carpets and Hardwoods showroom is located at 320 South Belair Road in Augusta. For more information and to set up a free in-home design consultation, visit www.aanddcarpets.com or call 706-863-8879.
