LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

Our History

International Flooring, Inc. was founded in 1990 by Chris Zimmerman. A Central Florida Native, Chris started learning the flooring trade right out of high school. He decided to start his own flooring installation company beginning with a pickup truck and one helper. As the business grew, he bought a box truck and rented a small storage unit which he converted into an office and an area for storing materials.

IFI in the beginning

Up until this time, IFI had always employed their own installers numbering as high as fifty employees. In 2008, there was an economic downturn, and it was decided for the business to grow it was better to employ less and utilize subcontractors for installation.

In 2013, IFI was awarded several large projects with key clients permitting growth to the next level. Chris purchased a 6,000 SF building with more office space and a larger warehouse. He began hiring specialty positions such as Project Managers, Superintendents, and an Estimator and saw increased profits. With tremendous growth, IFI sold the 6,000 SF location in 2018 and purchased a 40,000 SF facility located in Winter Garden, which is where the company is located today.

IFI has been a multi-generational family business with his mother Pat who has been with the company since inception, his eldest daughter Corey and his son-in-law, Tommy.

Many employees started at the entry level and have worked their way up in the company. We have been working with the same installers, many over 30 years, mentoring them and empowering them to start their own businesses. Chris’s focus has always been on building relationships with his employees, clients, owners, and vendors.

International Flooring, Inc. will continue to grow and expand under Chris’s visionary leadership!
