William Higgins purchased his first floor sanding machine in October of 1942.  He was a one man operation.  In 1956, Ted started working with his father and took responsibility for the entire operation a few years later.

In spite of the popularity of carpet and vinyl flooring in the 50's and 60's, Ted's business grew.  By the early 70's, with the introduction of polyurethane, hardwood flooring again became popular.  People began tearing up their old carpet and vinyl to find beautiful hardwood flooring underneath.   Higgins Flooring would refinish these floors and make them look new.  In the 80's, new home developments began to spring up everywhere.   New home buyers wanted an upgrade, so they chose hardwood flooring with the new easy care finish.  When renovating, existing home owners wanted to enhance their home so they too chose hardwood flooring.  In the late 80's prefinished flooring became a phenomenon.  Now a floor could be installed with no smell and minimal dust and disruption.

In the 90's, came the discovery that many synthetic carpets gave off gases.  No matter how often you vacuumed them, dust clung to the carpet..  The first thing Doctors recommended to those with allergies and breathing problems was to get rid of carpets and replace them with hardwood or an alternate floor covering.

Higgins Flooring grew with the times.  By the time Ted moved to his present location in 1987, he had 20 employees.  Today, Higgins Flooring employs 40 people and has 25 vehicles on the road.  Ted Higgins has maintained the high standards of quality established by his father.  It is not unusual to find Ted himself inspecting a job site to make sure it meets his standards. Our priority is a satisfied customer.  We are proud to offer a product that lasts a lifetime.
