Staying Safe this Holiday Season

The most common crime around the holidays is theft. With this holiday season quickly approaching, we at StarFloors wanted to share these tips with our loyal customers and fans.

1.     Get your packages delivered to your workplace instead of your home. If this is not an option, arrange a planter on your front porch so the mailman can conceal the package behind it out of view from the street.

2.     If your Christmas tree is viewable from the outside, make sure you do not have many packages visible under the tree.

3.     If you go out of town, make sure you leave some lights on inside and outside of your home.

4.     Do NOT leave valuables- gifts, cell phones, purse or clothing-in open view in your car. Take valuables with you, lock them in your trunk, or cover them in some way.

5.     Always park in well-lit areas and park close to the entrance of the store or mall if possible.

6.     If possible, shop before dark. Coordinate shopping trips with a friend so you don’t have to shop alone.

7.     Lock your packages in the trunk if possible. Try to conceal your packages so that they are not easily viewed by thieves. Most importantly, always lock your car doors.

8.     Walk briskly, confidently, and directly through the parking lot. Be cautious of people handing out fliers or asking questions in the parking lot.

9.     Don’t talk on a cell phone when walking to and from your car. Keep your full attention on your surroundings.

10.    After the holidays, don’t leave out gifts received from boxes. Breakdown the boxes and place them in sealed, non-clear garbage bags.

We caught up with John Glista, Territory Manager in the Greater Phoenix area to get his inside scoop on the flooring industry.

What is your specialty, John?

Wood flooring and bathroom remodeling projects are what I enjoy to work with. Being from Chicago, wood flooring is the most popular surface used throughout the entire house because it creates a warm and comfortable feel. Today’s products are far more durable than years ago and are more maintenance free than ever before.

I also enjoy taking old cultured marble shower stalls down and replacing cabinets and putting granite tops on to create a SPA like feel.

What is your favorite part of working in the flooring industry?

Being able to bring the floor to a customer’s door and help them pick the perfect material for their project.

What is your biggest challenge?

My biggest challenge is preparing concrete floors for wood flooring. Although, in my 29 years in this industry, I never met a challenge that I could not overcome.

What is your favorite type of floor and why?

New carpet can give an overall feel of freshness that gives off the new car smell that we all love. Most of the time it is much less expensive than people think and creates a warm and inviting space.

What have you found is the most popular?

Wood flooring is on most people’s minds when doing a remodel project, wide boards and scraped floors are the most popular choices. Porcelain tile that looks like Travertine is over taking natural stone due to the face that they require no maintenance and look so natural it’s almost impossible to tell the difference.

What is your favorite part of working in this industry?

I absolutely love seeing the customer’s faces when they walk thru a completed project and are extremely satisfied.

What is the biggest compliment you have received?

When customers refer their friends and family, it’s the greatest compliment anyone can ask for!

When you’re not helping people with their flooring what do you like to do?

I love to fish, golf and work on home remodeling.

Thanks, John for all the great information!
