Sherm Arnold’s Flooring and Kitchen Design Center is a local family owned business located in the historic Pepperill Mill at 550 Lisbon Street in Lewiston. Owner Denis Lebel, who purchased the 30+ year old company in 2007, says that their emphasis is to provide customers with a personal and quick response to their flooring and kitchen needs, while keeping it all within budget.
“Being family owned means that we are always here to help you. I personally am in the showroom all the hours that we are open, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday from 9a.m.-2 p.m.” Lebel added, “Our kitchen design specialist, Todd Lebel, is always available to go to your home, measure and provide ideas, all at no charge.”
Diane Dube has over 26 years of experience in flooring and can help you select and measure the product that is right for you. “We pay attention to our customers and answer their questions in meaningful ways. There is no such thing as a dumb question. We know our business and we know how to meet your needs,” said Lebel. “We work with reputable contract installers for all types of flooring, kitchens and counter tops.”
Sherm Arnold’s showroom is bright and friendly and emphasizes quality affordable products. “Our showrooms have some of the latest designs and we are excited by the popularity of our new Sturbridge collection by JSI,” explained Lebel. This kitchen cabinet series is made of solid wood and the showroom has a beautiful display featured in red birch. “The display also showcases our Benissimo granite tile tops, an affordable way to add a true granite top without the expense of a granite slab.”
“Sherm Arnold’s has also expanded its line of JSI bathroom vanities and tops at a price nobody in the area can afford to sell it for. People are truly surprised when they walk in our door,” said Lebel. Inside the showroom you will find a comfortable atmosphere to browse through the selections and ask questions. “Visit us and see just how affordable your new kitchen and floors can be.”
Sherm Arnold’s carries a complete selection of laminate flooring with over 30 colors to choose from at all times. The selections feature brand names such as Mohawk, Quickstep, Kingston by Formica and other well known brands. “Our tile room is always a popular spot with a very quick turn over in styles, patterns and colors,” said Lebel.
The showroom has approximately 25,000 square feet of tile at all times and “we can save you money on our in-stock tiles. We also carry a large selection of beautiful carpet and vinyl remnants as well as a great selection of stock carpet and vinyl rolls for you to choose from. Picking out your favorite out of all the styles offered will be the toughest part of the process since we make the rest easy for you,” said Lebel.
