Hello, I’m Luther Davis. I grew up in the Midwest—born and raised just outside Omaha, Nebraska—and if there’s one thing I learned early on, it’s that good craftsmanship matters. My first job, after finishing my bachelor’s degree in Applied Business Management at Nebraska Wesleyan University, was working for a local flooring and home-improvement company, where I spent six years learning the trade: understanding how hardwood reacts to humidity, what makes a vinyl installation stick, how carpet choices affect durability and comfort. That hands-on experience taught me how to look beyond the shiny surface and focus on the details.
In my late twenties I moved with my partner to the Pacific Northwest, where the pace slowed a little and our weekend DIY projects multiplied. Eventually I shifted into a role as operations coordinator for a regional design-build firm—still in the world of interiors and materials, but more strategic. Along the way, I developed a keen interest in consumer-oriented product performance: how does that laminate really hold up under a rowdy toddler? Is that “budget” Bluetooth speaker worth the splash? If the website name might hint at flooring, my horizon had quietly expanded well beyond planks and padding.
Why This Blog
Starting in 2025 I decided to take everything I’d learned—both on the shop floor and in the office—and channel it into something more public: this blog, where I share honest, real-world product reviews and buying advice. With the domain stevesfloorcoveringinc.com I wanted to honour the legacy of trustworthy service while giving it a fresh purpose: rather than installing floor coverings, I’m helping you cover floor-to-ceiling choices—electronics, home goods, gadgets, décor—that matter in everyday life. I review products, test them in my home, tell you what happened in week one and month six, and help you cut through the marketing noise.
What You’ll Find Here
On this site you’ll find three things I value above all: honesty, usefulness, and clarity. I’ll break down which features actually matter, which claims are worth their weight—and which aren’t. For example: when a manufacturer says “scratch-resistant,” I’ll try to scratch it. When a speaker claims “studio-quality sound,” I’ll play it from my living room wall and let you know what I heard. My hope is that by the time you click “buy,” you’re making a confident decision, not a hopeful guess.
I also believe everyone should get value—not just in terms of money, but in terms of time, enjoyment, and peace of mind. So when I say “this might be worth it,” you’ll see how the product fit into my day-to-day, what surprised me, and whether I still reach for it months later.
Where I Live (And Why That Helps)
Today I’m based in Portland, Oregon—a city with a vibrant maker scene, lots of second-hand gear, and a taste for practical innovation. My home is a 1950s bungalow with an open kitchen and a small workshop in the garage, which means I regularly swap out things like lighting fixtures, pedals for my guitar, kitchen gadgets, a couple of sensors for the home network. If a product works here—where the humidity swings and the kids drop things and the dog doesn’t always cooperate—it’s got a shot at working for you too.
My Promise to You
I won’t sell you hype. I’ll show you pros and cons. If something doesn’t perform after six months, I’ll tell you. If it’s over-engineered and overpriced, I’ll say why I think so. If a simple, affordable gadget wins out over a flashy high-end model, I’ll celebrate that. My affiliate links help keep the site running, but I’m committed to transparency: you’ll always see when I’m recommending something I earn from, and you’ll always see the reasoning behind the recommendation.
Thank you for being here. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect pair of wireless headphones, a kitchen appliance that actually lasts, or just trying to navigate the sea of “best this” and “top that,” I’m glad you stopped by. Let’s find the good stuff together.
