Our CFO, Bret Nicholson, spends the bulk of his of time at his desk. Sometimes he sits, oftentimes he stands. However, standing on a hard surface is hard on the body! Addressing that problem, we opted to experiment with installing Carpet Tile over a soft cushion pad. Bret says it’s easy to stand on. So far so good! Mohawk Intercosmic Carpet Tile Color: Meteorite Standard inch Rubber Pad We’ll have a short video about it soon.

#tooltuesday featuring a Straight Edge. It’s not just a ‘musical fad’. A Straight Edge is an important tool when cutting lines into Sheet Vinyl. Featured here, Roman uses a Straight Edge to cut Altro Safety Flooring under a counter.

I came across this fascinating information about Saint Patrick, he was abducted by Irish Pirates at age 16 and lived as a slave for several years. Read on-it’s an amazing story!

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to practice gratitude. At ICF, we make it our habit to send out Thanksgiving Cards and highlight some of the things we’re grateful for. This is what we sent our clients and business associates this year. Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s that time again! Baking has commenced with Pumpkin Bread. These Christmas Goodies will wait in the freezer for the festive distribution to our clients as a humble token of our gratitude.

We work with some amazing people whom we’d love to introduce you to. Meet Myrna Shaw, a Fresno local and Territory Manager for Tom Duffy and BR Funsten Company. Myrna likes to help customers find solutions to their floor covering challenges, provide great products, great service, and sometimes share a laugh or two. Myrna was born and raised in Fresno and never left her hometown to live anywhere else. She loves that Fresno is centrally located in California and because of that..., she can get to the mountains and to the coast in a couple hours. Myrna spent most of her late teen years and the rest of her career around floor covering. She learned the ‘sundry’ business from Bob Reinke, who was co-owner B&W Flooring Supply. He is like a dad to her. Myrna worked for a short time at Mid-State Linoleum and then Allied Linoleum before she began working full time for B&W Flooring Supply. When they sold to someone else, Myrna was fortunate to find a home with Tom Duffy and the BR Funsten Company. Myrna never intended to make floor covering her career, but here she is, and Myrna has met some amazing people because of it. We’re glad to know Myrna Shaw!

Kustom Kitchens hosted their 9th Annual Blues Brews & BBQ - COVID style - but still, nothing less than wonderful and tasty!

Practice makes perfect! Between jobs, ICF Installers hone their skills by practicing complicated installs. Featured here is a mixture of Sheet Vinyl, Linoleum and LVT in an octagon starburst pattern for the Installers Office. No office is safe around here as we are trying out new products all the time!

COVID pushes new skill sets. Due to COVID, schools sites are closed to students and many parents are required to oversee zoom classes for their children. Even for Andre, a Business Development team member at ICF, this has meant learning a whole new skill set!

We have to celebrate being chosen for one of the headquarters of this huge company! Check out their 'About Us' page and scroll down to the world map that names all of their locations and note that Fresno is listed among them. Sweet! They are an impressive company, Welcome!

Carpet shears. Every now and then the carpet comes with a little extra fiber from the mill. We don’t often have to give carpet a haircut but when we do these tools come in handy. #tooltuesday
