One of the key com- ponents of Allen Canter Contract-
ing/Diamond Head Flooring and Tile is the fact that the company adheres to indus- try and manufacturer stan- dards. It has been educated by the brightest people in the industry. Failure to fol- low guidelines established by the manufacturers al- ways leads to the flooring not meeting the consumers’ expectations.

wood backing. Guests can go to nfwa.com and read all about it.
