ABOUT US
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Eric Williamson was born and raised in Augusta, GA. At 12 years old, he began installing hardwood floors around the CSRA with his grandfather, Troyce Padgett. During the hot summers of Augusta, Eric was on the job sites with Papa Troyce, Aunt Rob, and Uncle Tony installing 2 1/4" Red Oak flooring. He enjoyed the moments of laughter over cans of Pepsi and bologna sandwiches on the tail gate of the truck.
​
Carrying on the family trade, in February of 1997, he started Williamson Hardwood Flooring. The Lord has blessed the business by allowing it to flourish through business partners, amazing clients, and our awesome crews!
The family tradition is still carried on through our coworkers. We have life long friends, nephews, sons, and daughters employed at Williamson Hardwood Flooring.
WHAT'S UP DOG?
"Get your floors Gunner approved!"
​
Gunner is our miniature dachshund and the official Williamson Hardwood Flooring mascot. He began going to work with us every day in 2020, quickly stealing everyone’s heart along the way.
So where did the slogan come from?
Every time we picked up a pallet of flooring from our local Augusta Carpet Mart, Gunner would stand proudly on the tailgate of the truck. “There’s the floor accountant! He’s counting and approving the quality of the floor bundles.” one of the employees would always say. Considering his height, Gunner is the perfect flooring inspector.
​
These days, Gunner is officially retired and enjoys a well-earned life of comfort, usually found lounging on his oversized memory-foam dog bed at home. That said, he still makes a special appearance from time to time, often by popular request from our clients.
