The Ohio Floor Company is celebrating its 40th year in business. We official started doing business is 1984 but we can trace our origins back to the early 1960s, when George Bear of Sugarcreek founded Bear Floor Sanding. The primary business of the company at that time was installing and refinishing residential hardwood floors.
In 1984, Bear Floor Sanding was purchased by Steve Yoder and became Mid-Ohio Hardwood Floors. MOHF grew steadily and entered the arena of installing and finishing maple gym floors. The company continued to expand its product line to include other types of gym floors, weight room flooring and other commercial flooring, while still maintaining a presence in the residential market. In 2005, Mid-Ohio Hardwood Floors was renamed The Ohio Floor Company to encompass the many types of flooring installed by the company.

Today, The Ohio Floor Company is comprised of the following divisions: Residential, Commercial/Sports Flooring, Portable Gym Floors, Custom Factory Hardwood Finishing, and Graphics Arts.
The Residential division of our company has continued to grow. We specialize in custom installation of patterned floors, inlays, and boarders. While still honoring our roots of the single room installation and resurfacing old floors.
Our Commercial/Sports Flooring Division has the privilege of working in hundreds of high schools, college/universities, community/recreational facilities, and many commercial/retail stores every year. Installing new floors, resurfacing existing floors, and doing yearly maintenance.
In the mid-2000s the company partnered with the Connor Sports Floors to become a certified dealer and preferred contractor for them. Connor is a leading manufacturer of sports floor systems. Through this relationship, The Ohio Floor Company began working on portable floor systems. This relationship has led to high profile jobs. An example of a few of the new sports floors supplied are Villanova University, University of Wisconsin, Syracuse University, NBA Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Washington Wizards, and Boston Celtics.
