Meet the Craftsman
Darin GrimesOwner, Elegant Floors
My name is Darin Grimes, and hardwood floors have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I learned this trade from my family, and over the past 30 years I've turned that foundation into something I'm truly proud of — Elegant Floors. I'm not a big corporation or a franchise. I'm a local craftsman who shows up to every job personally, treats your home with respect, and doesn't leave until the work is done right.
Serving the Lake Norman area including Mooresville, Davidson, Concord, Salisbury, Huntersville and surrounding communities, my goal is simple — to give you beautiful floors and an experience that makes you want to tell your neighbors about us.
"When you call Elegant Floors, you get me. And I take that personally."
