The Tosland Family

Hello! We are so happy that you came across our site. You know, hardwood floors is our passion and has been for many many years. But enough about floors! Please let us tell you about our family :)

Craig Tosland started out his life traveling across the country with his dad and his brother Rich. Growing up in Los Angeles, he moved to Bass Lake, CA (near Yosemite), to Albuquerque, NM, to Cincinnati, OH, and finally to Cleveland, OH where he planted his roots. He was a football star in high school and college as well as a rugby star. Of all things he loved early in life were sports and hardwood floors. He started sanding floors when he was 17 years old and he knew instantly that it was his calling - 12 years later he finally had the courage to start Hazelwood Floors. Without him, Hazelwood Floors would not exist and Cleveland's hardwood floors would be in terrible condition ;) 

Hardwood Floor Company Cleveland, OH

Christine Tosland graduated high school with a dream of traveling the world and to then settle down as an International business law attorney. New York City and the United Nations was part of her everyday daydreaming while she was traveling. She even was an intern for British Parliament while living in London. She has been all over Europe and South America, but there is no place like home. She knew she was destined for a different (and better!) life when she met Craig. Christine and Craig are now loving life with their 3 beautiful daughters (Kaylee, Maggie Mae and Harper), their dogs Opie and Wally, and will continue to build their dream of having the best hardwood flooring business in Cleveland! 

Meet Our Team

Hardwood floors is a skilled trade that requires years of experience in order to master. It is not a profession that can be taught in school, these are the dedicated foremen who will be restoring or installing your floors. Many of the guys on our team have 10-20 years experience, while others may only have 2-5 years. It is our focus to continually improve and train each foreman on our team regardless of their experience. Our industry is constantly looking for ways to improve both the sanding process as well as the types of finishes that are available. These are the dedicated guys who love what they do, and they want you to love your floors.

Kevin Lessmann

Hi, everyone! My name is Kevin! I fell into hardwood floor refinishing, and instantly fell in love with it! Prior to refinishing I was a nurses assistant at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, a farm hand at Nagel Farms, and a valet in downtown Cleveland. I fell in love with refinishing because you can take something old/beat up, and turn it into a true work of art. There are not many people who do this type of art these days too which translates to us having an enormous sense of pride in what we do. This company is extremely professional, and family driven which leads to a very tight knit crew that takes care of each other. Hospitality, and customer service is and always has been my number 1 priority!

Michael Johnson

Hey everyone, I’m Michael Johnson. Not to be confused with THE Michael Johnson, 4 Olympic gold medalist and 8 time world champion in sprinting. I’m actually not a fast runner, but I’m a fast learner and I love doing hardwood floors. Before I started this trade, I worked at a craft store where I made different paint colors for a living. That’s where I get my creative eye and artistic abilities from, and I transferred that into floors. I love my family, they’re my favorite people to hang out with when I’m not working. We love going to the dog park to play, but we don’t have a dog. We just like to get on all fours and run around with the other dogs and bark. Pretending I’m a dog is my favorite childhood memory and I want to instill that same great memory into my kids. But I promise we don’t lick strangers.

Tibor Havasi

Hey I'm Tibor! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm the corn hole champion of the USA. They had the corn hole Olympics in 2021 in Greenland and I wore a banana suit to protect my identity, but I got the gold. My wife and kids were so proud of me, they brought me a dilly bar from Dairy Queen to surprise me. Those have been my favorite desserts since I went mud sliding down the Mississippi river. Anyways, I love wood floors.

Chris Yucka

Hey I’m Chris! One thing you will notice about me right away is that I have a lot of tattoos. One thing you will not notice about me right away, is that I have a Barbie, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy tattoo on my lower back. I really love Disney World and playing with Barbies and I want the world to know that too. I’ve been doing floors for a while now and I truly have a passion for this trade. It is a work of art that we create everyday and I’m happy to share my skill with the world. When I’m not sanding floors, I’m busy going on go kart rides and doing jumping jacks in the middle of the street. I like to do them in the middle of the street to block cars from passing by, I want them to notice how awesome my jumping jacks are before I move over to let them pass. Anyways, thanks for reading!

Erin Martter

Hello! My name is Erin, and I’m the Office Manager here at Hazelwood Floors. I’m excited to be part of a company with such a great family atmosphere, a passion & knowledge of their craft, and a reputation for top notch customer service. That’s where I come in; just let me know how I can help!  After graduating with a degree in mass communications from Miami University, where I met my husband of 18 years, I went into hotel and event management. After several years of working in the hospitality industry for premier hotels in both Cleveland and Washington, D.C., my husband and I wanted to start a family. Later on, after some time away from the hotel industry to raise our two daughters in their younger years, I started working part time in the childcare and gymnastics fields. With over 15 years of experience in customer service and management positions, I am thrilled to be bringing my organizational skills and attention to detail to the flooring business. In my free time I enjoy crafting, chatting with friends, and watching my girls excel at whatever they put their minds to; most notably gymnastics, piano, academics, athletics, and my oldest daughter’s baking business. And when I’m not at work, or hanging out with my girls, you can usually find me snuggling on the couch with our dog, eating some of my husband’s wonderful cooking!
