J. Fletcher
Alan J. Fletcher was born in 1958 and was raised in Portland Oregon. He has been in the carpet and flooring business for over 28 years and much of his extensive knowledge about the business comes from within his family. His Grandfather, Father, Aunt and Uncle all had long careers in the flooring industry. This has given Alan extensive knowledge and insight of the flooring industry and is a third generation flooring professional.
When asked about his childhood, Alan remembers playing with carpet samples. By age eleven, he was helping out in his fathers' carpet showroom organizing and categorizing the different styles of carpet and padding samples. By the time he was 17, it was natural to pursue a career in the flooring industry. He began as an apprentice at Granum Bros. Seamless Floors in Milwaukie, Oregon where he was trained by several master craftsmen to install all types of vinyl flooring, carpet, ceramic tile and hardwood floors. Alan attended the Bruce Hardwood Flooring School in 1978.
Since 1982, Alan J. Fletcher has owned and operated a floor covering contracting business and has experience working in 7 States including Oregon, Washington, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. His vast floorcovering knowledge and experience comes from sales and installation of practically every type of flooring in thousands of custom homes, apartments and commercial Buildings.
