03 — Brand Personality

Who Tee's Flooring is.

Four traits that should come through in every touchpoint — website, reviews, social, signage.

🤝

Warm but Professional

Not a faceless corporation. Not a fly-by-night operation. Tony's the kind of contractor who shakes your hand, knows your name, and takes pride in leaving your home better than he found it.

Approachable · Reliable

Trustworthy

BBB A+ rated. Dozens of real Google reviews. A real person who answers when you call. Trust is the currency this brand trades in — and we put it front and center.

Craftsman Energy

Tony doesn't just install floors — he cares. Straight cuts. Precise patterns. No shortcuts. That level of craft deserves a brand that reflects it.

20+ Years Experience
🏙️

Local Pride

Born and built in Central Ohio. Not a franchise. Not a call center. Tony's crew knows the neighborhoods, the builders, and the families they serve. That rootedness matters.

Central Ohio · Since 2005

The line that defines the brand.

Three directions — each with a different emphasis. Which one feels like Tony?

Option 02

"Crafted Floors.
Honest Prices."

Option 03

"Central Ohio's
Floor Expert
Since 2005."


Five things that will make this brand land.

These aren't just design decisions — they're strategic differentiators.

🐕

Inspector Reno — Full Brand Mascot

Inspector Reno isn't just a cute dog — he's a brand asset. "Inspector Approved" quality badges across every deliverable. Paw print accents in select UI moments. A mascot people remember, share, and trust. Big-box stores don't have a Reno.

Dark + Warm Palette = Premium Flooring Energy

Charcoal backgrounds with amber accents signal quality without screaming luxury. It's the palette of real wood grain, dark walnut, and polished craft — not a $5/sqft big-box deal. This palette makes competitors look cheap by comparison.

Before & After — Front and Center

Nothing sells flooring like transformation. The homepage hero should be a dramatic before/after slider — real jobs, real rooms, real results. No stock photos. Tony's work should do the talking. This one feature will drive more calls than any copy we write.

Tony's Face on the Homepage

People hire people. A real photo of Tony — on-site, tool in hand, smiling — above the fold tells visitors everything: this is a real business, run by a real person, who cares about the work. Trust is built in 3 seconds. Tony's face does that better than any badge.
