Andersens Coffs Harbour

Andersens was founded in the late 1950s in Gatton, west of Brisbane, and has been in business for over 65 years. It operates 54 stores across Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. The Coffs Harbour store has been operating since March 2011 and is currently the largest Andersens store in the country. Peter Meagher is the local owner/operator and has over 28 years' experience as a floor layer. The store has a team of six full-time staff. Andersens stores are company-owned and franchised, run by local people.

The company sells flooring including carpet, engineered timber, laminate, vinyl, hybrid, sheet vinyl, cork and tiles, and window furnishings including blinds, shutters, awnings and curtains. It offers a '100 Day Peace of Mind' guarantee and a 'Life of Your Carpet Installation Guarantee'. Services include free measure and quote, an in-home service bringing samples to customers' homes, and carpet cleaning for carpets, upholstery and tiles in selected areas. Andersens runs a tree planting programme called Project Green with UN Plant for the Planet.

Coffs Harbour households regularly credit Andersens with turning damaged or worn-out interiors into modern, comfortable spaces through flooring and window treatments. Reviewers describe engineered wood, hybrid and vinyl planks, wall-to-wall carpet and tiling carried out across whole homes, with the finished result praised for both appearance and durability. Robbie is named frequently for his product knowledge and honest advice, while Simon, Adam, Ryan, Peter, Katrina and Jayden also attract thanks for their help in store and on site. The tradespeople are consistently described as punctual, polite and tidy, with several accounts noting they moved heavy furniture and cleaned up after themselves.

Communication is another recurring theme, from the initial product selection through to follow-up after installation, and when small problems appeared the team reportedly returned the same day to replace or repair them. Tight deadlines and weather-related disruptions were handled calmly, and customers whose homes had suffered flood damage speak warmly of the care taken with their replacement floors and carpets. Plantation shutters, blinds and security doors supplied and fitted alongside the flooring are mentioned as part of the same smooth process.
