In 1946 after World War II learning the floor covering business through the G.I. Bill, Dale Forbess went from installing to managing many stores in Galion, Marion, Bucyrus, Delaware and Findlay, Ohio. In 1954 Dale started Forbess Floor Covering in Perrysburg, Ohio. He went back to installing in 1982 to teach his son Dewey the foundation of the floor covering business.
In 1989 Dewey along with a partner started Commercial Carpet and Tile in Fostoria, Ohio. Dale continued as a sales person with Commercial Carpet and Tile for a few years until retiring. In 1995 Dewey sold Commercial Carpet and Tile and went back to installing in Findlay Ohio, to teach his son Chris the foundation of the floor covering business.

At Forbess Floor Covering we help you to make your house a home, or your business inviting and comfortable for your customers. We take pride in the selection, the overall look and most importantly the durability of your floor covering. We strive to build trust and friendship with our clients. We want to learn your likes and dislikes as well as get to know your family and pets. Once we know who you are, it helps us to help you design and install your floor covering. We also build a relationship that will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed from the time you shop through the installation and for the many years to come. Here at Forbess Floor Covering we have a saying, " We would not design or install anything we would not install in our own home."
Proper installation starts well before your material is installed. When we walk onto your job we look for anything that could make your material fail prematurely, this sets us apart from many other Installers. Most Installers have had inadequate training and don't do justice to the materials and/or the customer they are working for. Here are just a few things we do to insure a Professional and Proper installation.
For Floors we sand all seams flat, then we clean and vacuum all debris from the floor. All your subfloors and materials are installed to the manufacturers specifications.
For Showers and Walls we use Schluter Kerdi Fabric a waterproofing membrane made of polyethlene. This provides two very important function, it helps prevent movement from wall to wall and it prevents water damage, because it does not allow water to penetrate through it. We also sell and install tile ready Schluter Kerdi Shower kits as well as the full line of Schluter products. For more information please contact us!
