About Us
Best Carpet and Tile was the original company of Best Flooring. In 1953, feeling Indianapolis didn't have enough competitors in the floor covering industry, Sidney Feldman and a good friend went into business together to service contract builders. Craftsman Flooring was established, becoming one of the first contract companies for home builders in Indianapolis, a new concept at the time. Today, Best Flooring has moved from its humble beginnings in Broad Ripple, to a state-of-the-art facility complete with it's own warehouse. Located on the Northwest side of Indianapolis, Best Flooring is better able to meets the demands of today's home-builders.
Best Flooring is a family owned company serving home builders since 1953. Best has over 300 years of combined experience. Average company tenure is over 10 years. Over the last two years, Best has won subcontractor of the year awards from Davis and Estridge Homes. Best was the only two time winner and nominee for Estridge Homes’ President’s Award in their company’s history. Best was Subcontractor of the year in 2006 for Davis Homes Best achieved NHQ certification in 2006 with NAHB. Best Flooring also installed the flooring for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and does most of the local Habitat for Humanity. Best Flooring developed "Best Inspect" which eliminates all installation issues prior to closing. Installations are personally reviewed to be done complete, on time, and to quality standards.
