Despite the growth, the team says what truly sets Elgin Carpet One apart is its personal approach. “We pride ourselves on providing relevant product knowledge and installation expertise,” Denise explained. “We believe in building relationships with our customers, and we are eager to find the right solution at the best price.” In the same location as Elgin Carpet One is the Wallpaper Loft, which specializes in Benjamin Moore Paint, wallpaper and window coverings. “Having all the different products offered at one location makes coordination much simpler,” Tom Versteeg, President and Co-owner of Elgin Floor Covering Ltd. and Manager of Wallpaper Loft, explained. “When people redecorate, they are often changing more than one part of their décor at a time. Having all the different products offered at one location makes coordination much simpler,” Tom said. “If they are changing the flooring, they will also repaint and maybe add some wallpaper. Their existing window coverings may no longer work with the new colours.” “This gives them much greater confidence in their design choices,” Tom added. “Our staff are great at asking the client about the project they are working on. Large projects can be especially overwhelming. Our team helps people take the stress out of that process by walking them through it from start to finish.” Tom also notes that wallpaper has seen a new resurgence. “Wallpaper has made a tremendous comeback; people are seeing how it can bring so much colour and life to an otherwise plain space.” He noted the return to unpasted and ‘paste-the- wall’ options, making installation easier and more appealing for today’s homeowners. The store also continues to carry premium Hunter Douglas window fashions, while adding Alta Window Fashions, a brand owned by Hunter Douglas, to provide a strong option for more price-conscious customers without sacrificing quality or warranty support. As the dust settles on the renovation, the Versteeg family is looking ahead with optimism. After more than 50 years in business, Elgin Carpet One isn’t just expanding its footprint; it’s reinforcing its commitment to being the local destination for floors and much more. The Wallpaper Loft Team: Stephanie Vukovic, Arlene Balsden, Stacey White, Lauren Hilderbrandt, Kristina Groeneweg and Tom Versteeg.
