Our Story

 

Three critical elements in business—be honest, do good work, treat people well.

—Paul Tsamkiranis, Owner, Authentic Floors

Paul started his journey in 1976 in the printing industry in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was there that Paul developed his eye for detail, work ethic and learned to work under very tight deadlines.

In 1986 Paul transferred these work skills to the world of flooring.  And Authentic Floors was born.

Since then, Authentic Floors has become a household name for developers and commercial property managers throughout the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

The flooring industry moves fast. Changing floor designs and architectural demands; new products, new applications and improved installation methods. Paul has always maintained a high priority on continued learning and certification.  To be sure, you always get the latest and the best from Authentic Floors.
