The History of Harman Hardwood Flooring Co.

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

 

Since Harry Harman opened the Harman Lumber Company in the 1920s, the Harman name has been synonymous with hardwood. Harry spent those days selling boxcars of wholesale lumber to flooring mills and other companies across New York State.

Harman Hardwood Flooring Company was established in 1945 on Hebard Street in bustling downtown of Rochester, NY. Throughout the early years, the company worked directly with homebuilders providing flooring to hundreds of homes a year in the area. These homebuilders were the ones credited with installing thousands and thousands of feet of face nailed oak strip flooring known as “Rochester Hardwood Floor.”

Harman Hardwood Flooring Company is owned and operated today by Tom, Peter and Dave Harman.  Working in the business since their early teens, they know hardwoods floors. The Harman family coins the term “family commitment” and takes great pride in the exceptional attention to detail the company gives to every project and the personal service it provides every customer.
