About us
Excellence and professionalism
Faith Hardwood Flooring has been in business since 2008, and our owner has over 25 years of experience.
Our story
At the age of 14, I started working on installing and restoring hardwoods part-time. I fell in love with it and knew it was more than just a job. It was a passion.
Jeremy Summerford, Owner. In 2008, during the down economy, he felt the desire to start his own company. Ever since, the clientele has continued to grow.
Jeremy takes real pride in his work, and that is why he does every job himself. You will never find anyone else on your floor. From the first measurement to the final coat, he makes sure every detail is right, so you end up loving the result.

Good to know
What NWFA certification is
The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) is the trade association for the hardwood flooring industry. Its Certified Professional program recognizes and promotes the competence of wood flooring professionals.
- What it takes. To become an NWFA Certified Installer or Certified Sand and Finisher, a professional has to be an NWFA member in good standing, have on-the-job experience (NWFA sets the number of years), take an NWFA course, and sign the certification's code of conduct. Installers also pass an exam or complete NWFA University courses.
- Staying certified. Each certification has annual requirements, including keeping NWFA membership, paying annual certification dues and earning continuing education credits.
- Finding a certified pro. NWFA lists its certified professionals in a Find a Professional directory on its website.

Questions worth asking any flooring installer
Hiring for a hardwood floor is a big decision. These questions help you compare, whoever you talk to.
- Are you certified by the National Wood Flooring Association, and in which areas: installation, sanding and finishing, or both?
- How did you earn it, and do you keep it current every year?
- Will your own crew do the work on my floor?
- Which NWFA and manufacturer guidelines do you follow for my floor and finish?
- Can I see recent projects like mine?
