About Certified Flooring


In 1949, we began with a handful of employees cleaning carpet and rugs for local customers. Soon after, we started selling carpets and renting mats. Our location at 1865 Columbia Avenue in Lancaster PA is now home to Flooring showroom. With the national buying power of Abbey Carpet, Karastan Carpets, and more, we’re able to offer the best flooring brands at the best prices, while focusing on the quality service that is the cornerstone of our business. Community involvement is an integral part of who we are at Certified Flooring. We as a company make a strong effort to positively impact the community where we live and work. The employees of Certified Flooring share their time, talent, and resources at many organizations throughout Lancaster. Certified Flooring recognizes the importance of strong family and community life. We invite you to visit our showroom today!

“When It’s Certified,™ You're Satisfied!”

“It’s more than a slogan, it’s our core philosophy. And for the past 60 years every member of our dedicated staff has been taught to focus on one thing, complete customer satisfaction.”

Mark Legenstein

Welcome to Certified Flooring in Lancaster, Pennsylvania! I’m the President and have been part of this great company for almost 28 years, back when Certified Flooring was a cleaning company, flooring company, and rugs and mats business. Before this role, I had the privilege of holding various positions in our family's flooring business, including cutting my teeth as a carpet cleaning tech when I graduated from Lancaster Catholic High in 1996. I later moved on to work in different areas of our flooring business, including hard surface installation, warehouse, flooring sales, and eventually became the Vice President of Operations. My favorite part of the job is working with our team of talented employees, many of whom have been with our company for many years. When I'm not busy running Certified Flooring, I love spending time with my wife, Stephanie, and our three incredible children, Hailey, Mason, and Jackson, and our English Bulldog Rufus George.

In addition to having a passion for flooring and design, I enjoy fishing, hiking, traveling, being active in our Lancaster community, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I am a flooring installer and have been with Certified for 5 years. I started out learning the ropes in the warehouse and then became part of our legacy company’s cleaning department, and now spend my days installing flooring. My favorite part of my job is getting the opportunity to work closely with the team, especially with my installation partner, Chuck, who I’ve been fortunate enough to develop a lifelong friendship with. When I’m not hanging out with my buddy and installing flooring, I love listening to and producing music and making art.
