In 2008 we celebrated our company's 100-year anniversary. Our family and our team take a lot of pride in that. Now, our family's fourth generation is looking forward toward the next 100 years. Our company began humbly, in 1908, when Abraham “Abe” Bickoff, a Russian immigrant and master carpenter landed in America. With handmade tools and old-world craftsmanship, he began woodworking and performing
carpentry jobs. The local need was for hardwood floors, so Abe began and installing floors here in Cleveland just as the housing boom was exploding. He learned English and worked extremely hard. He saved enough to steam his bride across the ocean to join him here, to begin their life as American citizens. Although times were tough, Abe's good skills and reputation for honesty and detail earned respect among other local tradesmen, and his business grew. His family grew, too. His sons were raised with that same ethic, and knew that they would carry the torch one day. Now, Jerry and his son Joshua (3rd & 4th Generations pictured below) personally ensure that the highest standards are maintained. The old fashioned service and quality that our grandfathers believed in, is still our way today...over 100 years later. Now that our business has reached the 4th generation, we have added something new... an artistic division. Josh's rare blend of artistic ability and thorough knowlegde of all aspects of flooring installation (from growing up in the business) has allowed us to evolve as a flooring company. CustomRugArt.com is our latest evolution, providing unique rugs, designs, and keeping us busy with creative inspiration.
100 years of serving our community, beautifying homes, and making people happy. "Pride in our family...Pride in our work."
