Young Interiors Flooring Center By Peggy Mishoe S INCE 1987, YOUNG INTERIORS Flooring Center has built a reputation for excellence while taking the worry out of flooring projects for homeowners, business owners, builders, remodelers and designers. Some of the area's most prestigious bui lders are among the numerous individuals who have learned from experi- ence that they can place their trust in Young Interiors. "It gives you a great comfort level because you always know that they're on top of everything. I think it is a fantastic company. It's a family-owned business, and they really excel all the way around," says Bryan Slattery, owner of FSB, LLC. He adds, "They're very easy to work with. They go the extra mile, even if something is wrong that is not their fault. They do a lot for us." Because FSB builds homes ranging in price from $200,000 to $800,000, the fact that Young Interiors can provide quality products in a wide price range is a plus for Slattery and his clients. Located at 1830 Highway 9 East in Longs, Young Interiors has a 10,000-square-foot showroom that displays and stocks a large variety of flooring by all major brands. The company provides and installs all the latest styles and trends in carpet, hardwood, laminate, ceramic and porcelain tile, stone, and vinyl flooring. Exotic hardwoods and handmade mosaics created by a local artisan are among the numerous unique products that can be seen there. Young Interiors also offers the latest in green products, as well as free estimates, free on-site measuring, wholesale pricing and builder discounts. Allan Thomas, his wife, Sarah Thomas, and his brother, W.B. "B" Thomas, own and operate Young Interiors. They share a strong commitment to making their customers happy with flooring selections that fit their varied budgets, and to providing excellent installations. "We can find anything for anybody's budget," Sarah says. "We buy tile by the truckload, so we're able to provide a good product at an affordable price." Johnny Causey, owner of The Southern Homes & Silver Creek Group, has been working with Young Interiors for about 16 years. When he sends his clients there to select flooring, he says, they always come back and tell him about the positive experiences they've had. Unl ike many companies , Young Interiors allows customers to take samples home. "They have a good selection of products and a nice showroom," Causey says. If a client wants a product that he or she does not find there, "at least they can get it for you," he adds. Sarah says, "We can definitely find unique or different products." 16 | SOUTH CAROLINA GREATER UPPER COASTAL Builder+Architect SCGUC.BUILDERARCHITECT.COM W h e t h e r c u s t o m e r s a re planning n e w h ome s , remodeling, or updating areas of their homes or businesses, the attention, prod- ucts and service they receive from Young Interiors r ema i n s t h e same.
