Our History

Branded as Abraham Linc in 1996 to emphasize its role as the link between the best flooring businesses in the Mid-Atlantic and the products they need to be successful, Abraham Linc has never lost sight of its humble beginnings.
Abraham Linc remains focused on providing excellent customer service for its customers with relevant, high-quality products they want, when they want them, delivered damage and dirty-free.
