About Our Founder
David Edwards started in the flooring industry when he was just 12 years old working for a family member sweeping floors. When he was old enough to operate power tools, he began installing hardwood, laminate, and engineered flooring, quickly moving up the ranks. When new construction slowed along with the economy in 2008, he tried his hand at driving a dump truck, glass installation, and excavating, but ultimately found himself back in the flooring industry sanding and refinishing hardwood floors for Arvel Cox Hardwood Flooring Inc.
Arvel Cox was a flooring legend in his own right; established in 1972, anyone in the hardwood business knew his name, so Mr. Edwards was able to train and learn from the best in the industry.
In 2010, Mr. Edwards decided it was time to follow his business ownership dreams and make his own mark on the flooring industry and thus, Guardian Flooring Advancements was established.

Our Family
David and Kristen met during a high school track meet and were married in early 2010. They have two wonderful little girls, Ava and Finley, as well as two Siberian Huskies, a Bengal Cat, and a Red Eared Slider Turtle.
The Edwards embrace a DIY lifestyle and have had the opportunity to remodel and flip several of their own homes, giving them plenty of insight and experience living in a construction zone...with small children, which is why:
“We want to ensure your flooring experience is as convenient and easy to manage as possible. As a young family, we understand that life is busy and hectic and hard! But we also know that ‘family is everything’, which is why we treat all of our customers like family.”
