Flooring Xtra

ABOUT:

Flooring Xtra is New Zealand’s largest flooring brand, with 60+ retail stores nationwide.

If you’re new to our story then it may come as a surprise to you to learn that the Flooring Xtra brand is still relatively young. Founded in 2008, Flooring Xtra was formed by ten companions working in the flooring industry who were dissatisfied with the brand offering available to Kiwi consumers. The friends banded together to establish Flooring Xtra, a business built upon the belief that community based organisations were more effective than corporations.

Ten weeks after the launch of the Flooring Xtra brand, new stores were popping up all over the country. The brand’s popularity soared and the group of friends were overwhelmed by flooring retailers throughout New Zealand contacting them, eager to be a part of the Flooring Xtra story.

Within three years of launch, Flooring Xtra had become New Zealand’s largest flooring company. The appeal and success of Flooring Xtra can be attributed to the philosophy that lies at the heart of the brand. Based around a co-operative model, each store is owned and operated by a local with experience in the flooring industry. Stores in the Flooring Xtra group have the advantage of stronger buying power, access to marketing resource and a pool of knowledge to tap into from their peers. This formula has proven so successful that the Flooring Xtra brand was rolled out throughout Australia in 2010.

Whilst Flooring Xtra is the biggest flooring retailer in New Zealand, our target now moves towards becoming the best. The best business owners, the best teams and the best service providers for our customers.

Testimonials

We love hearing from delighted homeowners all across Aotearoa.

Full marks to Dee and Emily for selling the idea to us. I think it’s always a bonus to work with people who are happy, friendly, and professional, especially in trying circumstances that were out of everyone’s control. All the contractors were helpful and easy to deal with and answered emails and texts. Big thanks to you all, our house ticks all the boxes for us, and we are glad we made the decision to build it. Also big thanks to Emily and Sam for their patience and kindness.

Kathryn & Francis

Caring and inclusive' business style which is positive and truly family-orientated Proven track record in building high quality homes High calibre personnel - we pass on a special commendation for Kaylah's tremendous 'people-skills' as well as her great expertise in interior design. Accurate, complete, and timely client communications Very user-friendly job management/ customer relations software tool- BuilderTrend Superb supplier partners - especially Mastercraft Kitchens Friendly and helpful personality traits shown by all the Barrett staff we have met- well done.

Noel

The entire build process was a seamless and stress-free experience despite all the uncertainties with Covid and supply chains across the building sector. I have dealt with many companies before but never had such an amazing experience. We overcame many obstacles and Barrett Homes really delivered an awesome product. They stood out to us because of the attention to detail, hard work, and constant communication with progress updates… everything was done with such a high standard!

Sunjay

We visited a number of show homes and were impressed by Barrett Homes's quality of finish compared to the others. Our build process was well coordinated in all aspects from initial engagement with sales, to working with on-site manager Todd and working with your sub-trades in relation to choosing our products and finishes. A highlight for us was seeing our vision come together from the colours we had chosen, combined with landscape design. Barrett Homes stands out because we were able to pick a plan that would work for our requirements and then tweak and change it to suit how we would live in the space. I think it is an important aspect to allow and accommodate client's sometimes peculiarities.

Graham & Heather

It was my very first build/first home and what a great experience! Barrett's made it so easy - they were very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. From choosing the land to designing the house to watching the progress (only took 5 months) to walking through my front door - I couldn't have asked for a better team. I loved the experience and would build with Barrett's again.

Caroline

The Tauranga show home had "Vavoom" that other show homes didn't, that’s why we chose Barrett Homes. During the building process, they accommodated changes to the original standard design to incorporate our requirements and kept us in the loop as the build progressed with web updates and photos. The project manager was very friendly and was willing to meet outside of his working hours to allow us to visit the build when we could travel down from Auckland. A highlight for us was the fact we wanted several variations, and the design team amended the drawings to provide what we required. It was also the feeling of being taken along with every stage of the build, from the initial view of the show home to getting the keys of our completed home – it’s a very "family" type feel. I will happily sing the praises of Barrett Homes. We even kept the Barrett sign up on our fencing for several months after we moved in. As this area was new build with a lot of homes, we made friends with our new neighbours and were happy to tell them of the seamless signing through to the finished home provided by Barrett. I would recommend using Barrett to anybody. We are very happy customers and would build with Barret again as a first choice.

Paul & Renee

During the early stages of the build, we built a relationship with the Project Manager. He was very easy to work with, had good comms, and honest. The last thing you want is someone who isn’t honest with progress and hold-ups. Sam was great. Post construction Barrett's have quickly completed the 3-month remedials which were minimal and secondly when we had a leak in the garage Sam was quick and helpful in getting this sorted with his subcontract during a weekend.

Scott & Alesha

Our friend engaged Barrett Homes to build a home for her son and daughter and recommended them to us as she was so pleased to join the Barrett family and for the great service she received. We looked at several building companies and selected Barrett Homes because of the excellent service track record, customer-focus (as explained to us by our friend), clear and regular communication, easy-to-use and good information on your website. We appreciated the assistance from Di as our first contact with Barrett Homes and from there we proceeded to sign up for one of your House & Land packages in Papamoa. Our house-build is due to start shortly, however, we have been fully engaged with Barrett in the design phase over the past 3 months. We firstly enjoyed the caring introduction to the Barrett family and our first meeting with Kaylah was absolutely magic. We have been very impressed with the Barrett culture, the comprehensive customer-care focus, the technically excellent interior design advice and guidance, the attention to thorough but user-friendly document exchange (prompt accurate email correspondence and use of the BuilderTrend software platform) and the very friendly and highly skilled Barrett personnel. The following are the key attributes of our interaction experience so far, where Barrett's shine and excel:

Noel

Our build process has been easy and straightforward. This is our first home, so we didn't know what to expect. Barrett Homes have contacted us as and when things have needed to be chosen and the weekly updates have been great. A standout has been the friendly and helpful staff, our concerns are taken seriously, and everything is explained in detail and all questions are answered. We would recommend Barrett Homes to others. Our journey has been easy and stress-free. We didn't know what to expect as this is our first home, however, we have spoken to friends who are building with other companies, and they are having different issues with them which is causing lots of stress. The whole experience with Barrett Homes from the staff, the communication, the plan designs, and the build to the finish has been fantastic, and would highly recommend!

Lorna

From meeting Di at the showhome who basically set us up as we did not have a clue as to what we were doing, to the organizational skills of Kaylah the design consultant. Then to Jonny who briefly led us through the meet and greet process of the initial build. And of course, on to Daniel who respectfully earned the 'Dan the man' badge by his peers. Dan made the build simple for each room through his explanations. By converting it from a structural skeleton to a visual living masterpiece. Especially trying to explain it all to my wife x3...remarkable patience! All these people deserve a special mention, especially through the COVID lockdowns. The past two years have been trying, by default in the building sector. Meeting these demands in supply has certainly been challenging, as a customer, I wouldn’t have known. Nga mihi kia koutou katoa.

Mike & Kirsty

We chose Barrett Homes because the build style and selection just seemed more and different to other building companies- you can tell a Barrett home just by looking at it. The build process was super easy as the BuilderTrend app updated us throughout. We’ve had a lot of people saying building was stressful and I think it’s the only way we will go going forward! The style appointment made everything feel real at the beginning stages and the frames going up was exciting to see after looking at bare land over covid lockdown. We found the experience with Barrett Homes easy - you don’t have to go through a big call centre and be passed around from one person to the other who have no clue what you’re talking about, it’s very personalised and staff recognise you.

Mandy

As a community family business, Barrett’s is the only company to build with - very personable but so very professional. Richard and I were looking forward to our move to Taupo when we saw the home and land packages, it really ticked all the boxes. Barrett Homes created our forever home and with their extraordinary, professional, and caring team, we feel a part of the Barrett Homes community and family. Thank you

Mandy & Richard

I highly recommend Barrett Homes for a new house build. The experience was always outstanding throughout the process. Emily was our Home Design Consultant and Sam our Building Supervisor onsite. Both have a professional approach but relaxed manner of which kept the entire process on track. All Contractors involved were fantastic to deal with, so I would have no hesitation building with them again. Thank you, team Barrett Homes.

Vicki & Duncan

A big thumbs up to Barrett Homes Cromwell and especially to Emily & Sam for their efforts in creating our new quality home in Cromwell. We have been associated with the building industry for many years and are very happy with our decision to go with Barrett Homes. We would highly recommend them to anyone contemplating building.
