Contract Furnishings Mart
Contract Furnishings Mart (CFM) is a family owned business that has been serving the flooring, cabinet and countertop needs of trade professionals throughout the Pacific Northwest with its 18 stores since 1981 and in Chandler, AZ since 2021. CFM is dedicated to builders, remodelers, designers, property managers and trade specialists serving their clients throughout Oregon and Washington and Arizona. CFM was founded by a builder, Bill Cogdall, Sr., as a solution to the many problems he witnessed with typical floor covering retailers like - inconsistent pricing; inexperienced, commissioned sales staff; limited product selection, and never knowing what crew would show up to install your job. CFM answered these by: - Providing a single price for all trade customers - Employing well-trained, long-term salaried sales professionals - Maintaining 18 large, clean, well-lit showrooms displaying the most current product selections in all categories - Not installing our products, but rather building relationships with builders, independent contractors and installers that we in turn refer to homeowners. - Assisting you to build a long-term relationship with the right installer for all your floor covering needs We feature the largest selection of products priced with minimum mark up, so you can feel confident your costs will be kept low on every job. We go to great lengths to keep our showrooms up to date with the latest flooring styles. With our ever-changing industry, CFM is constantly bringing in new, fashion-forward products to meet your design needs. Our showrooms display the various types of flooring — tile, stone, carpet, hardwood, engineered flooring, vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, laminate, cabinets, countertops and more - all under one roof.
