Adam Gerber, Dustless Refinishing Specialist

The youngest member of the Gerber Flooring Team. He is a graduate of the Police Foundations Program at the Georgian College in Barrie. During his first encounter with hardwood installation at the age of 6; while he was having fun, playing with the wood pieces an laying out the boards to be installed in the family's first home, he showed his willingness and persistence to learn.

He started helping his dad during his summers off from school when he was 12 years old. At that time it was the sweeping and vacuuming that needed to be done between stain and varnish coats... then he graduated to edger work. At 16, Adam started to learn his way around the heavy sanders and started doing installation work. Today Adam is 30, he installs real hardwood as well as LVPF, engineered, laminate and cork flooring. His trade skills now also include sanding and refinishing.
