About Us

 

Each time we walk into a room, we ask ourselves what would we be happy with?

How can our handcrafted timber floors transform this space?

This willingness to create long-lasting value for clients keeps us at the top of our industry”

Phil Rowe, Owner

 


Who Are Freedom Flooring?

Freedom Flooring is a kiwi owned and family run timber flooring business based in Auckland for close to 2 decades, that is pretty good going we think (especially when the owners share a home with three kids, a dog and a set of in-laws). We aren’t kidding when we said it’s a family operation!

The reason this all works is because we all share many values, with the highest ranking one being we all like helping people. With a large family to take care of, and staff that are Freedom family, it’s all about the big picture and looking after each other, and of course, our customers (A little bit like the Mafia – but without the crime).

A ‘shoulder to wheel’ approach to doing business is what we are about, we just like getting stuff done. We are ‘doers’ that like to enjoy our time doing. With all that in common, well it just works.

Working is a pleasure for the cheerful bunch at Freedom Flooring. We get to transform spaces and realise customers dream homes, all while adding measurable value so it’s pretty satisfying stuff.

Some of the amazing work our repeat Builders, Architects and Designers give us we feel privileged to be involved in – if we were rubbish at what we do, repeat work wouldn’t be our thing, but it certainly is. Some clients have been around so long, they are friends! Freedom Flooring could stop advertising on social media (tempting so tempting), and we’d still be busy – is that bragging? Maybe.

But we wouldn’t forget doing any of that because firstly, that’s crazy and secondly our other favourite thing – is meeting new people. And here you are, reading this, hello new person!

 

 

New clients equal new people into the Freedom Family and their plans equal new ideas and that results in more pretty pictures to share with the world, it’s just one big creative circle!

If you’ve always wanted a timber floor – our policy is ‘then you shall have one’ so we’ll find a solution that fits both your budget and timeline.

Being a leader in the timber flooring industry means we are asked to work on all kinds of projects. Examples would be;

  • Some of New Zealand’s most award winning buildings both commercial and private by local and international architects and designers (very fancy stuff)
  • New builds or renovations from people into their first homes (exciting)
  • Home upgrades when the family is growing (that was a surprise)
  • Empty nesters keen on spending the kids inheritance (fun and exciting)
  • Developers looking to make it work financially – and deliver quality so their decisions don’t come back to bite them (always a good thing)
  • Insurance claims – there’s nothing we haven’t seen!

We respect the fact that timber flooring can be a big purchase and we want you to feel safe in your decision to choose us as your timber flooring provider, so if you are still unsure, some photography of our own work might inspire you, so check out what we’ve been doing for close to 2 decades in the world of timber flooring here.
