In baseball and in life, home counts.

No one knows that better than Sharon Hargrove, who juggled being a mother of five and wife to Major League Baseball first baseman and manager, Mike Hargrove. Sharon managed a house and a home on the road while traveling with her husband, who is perhaps best known for leading the Cleveland Indians as team manager in the 1990s.

Hargrove knows home begins when you set foot in the front door. “The right flooring can really make a difference in a room and throughout your house. It welcomes you as soon as you come in,” she said.

The Hargroves say they are longtime customers of Bob & Pete’s Floors for a reason: quality, expertise and service.

“The moment I stepped into their store, I no longer felt like a customer, but I really felt like family,” Sharon said. “I see familiar faces every time, which tells me something about their business.”

Bob & Pete’s Floors is proud to be Canton’s flooring leader for more than two decades. Still, with customers throughout Northeast Ohio, the business is not limited to Stark County.

“There are quite a few flooring businesses between our home and Bob & Pete’s,” said Hargrove of the more than 40-mile span. “I could just tell by being in their store that they cared about their customers and were committed to doing a great job.”

And, the Bob & Pete’s flooring team is ready to lend their expertise daily at job sites across the region. The team works to ensure all projects are handled with care and the highest degree of craftsmanship.

Each time a Hargrove project was finished — from carpet to laminate and even an area rug for one of their daughters — it was personally inspected. “It wasn’t just because they knew us, it is because they treat everyone that way,” Sharon said.

That’s the Bob & Pete’s Floors difference. Trained professionals make certain every installation is perfect. Unlike the competition, Bob & Pete’s employees also personally inspect each installation. Every time. Every client.

Bob & Pete’s Floors’ installation team, sales staff and estimators all work together to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. Their estimating process ensures accurate measurements, while minimizing waste and unnecessary expenses.

All parties also work together to guarantee the quality of materials and that service exceeds industry standards.

“They are just top-notch people,” Hargrove said. “They are just good people, and they sell good, quality stuff. It’s just the common sense courtesy they give, you just don’t find that anymore.”

Over the years, Hargrove said the team at Bob & Pete’s Floors has become like family. “They understand that being a part of the Tribe family, it is not our whole life,” she said. “Some people think that the Hargroves don’t need carpet, and, if we do, the Indians come to install it.”

Not true. It’s the other hometown team: the flooring experts at Bob & Pete’s Floors.
