Residential Wall Covering — Man Laying Ceramic Tiles in Cheshire, MA
Gale Floor Covering officially started in 1957 when William "Bill" Gale went on his own; however, its roots began long before. Charlie "Grampa Gale" had been known locally as a “jack of all trades” with some expertise in floor tile, carpet, and linoleum. Bill had worked with Grampa Gale while growing up in Adams, MA.
In 1957, Bill had just graduated from high school when he realized that being a “jack of all trades” like his father was helpful, but he had a passion for the floor and wall covering business. Along with his high school sweetheart, Joan, Bill started Gale Floor Covering. The two were married on April 26, 1958, and the Gale family had started. In 1964, the Gale family made the permanent move to 28 Eastview Drive in Cheshire, MA.
Ten years later, Bill and Joan continued to work hard to build the business to become highly reputable, while raising their five children: Deb, Bill, Bob, Beck, and Rick. Growing up in a family business meant going to work during school vacations. Bill’s strong work ethic had been instilled in the children over the years, with each becoming successful in their respective careers.
After Bob graduated from high school in 1979, he decided to join the family business full time with his father. Over the years and became the expert in the field he is today. 
In 1990, after graduating from college, Rick followed in the footsteps of his father and brother and joined the family business, working full-time. He, too, would develop a passion for the trade, becoming an expert in the field to this day.
