So, on October 1, 2005, Ron and his wife, Bernie, started a new chapter in their lives with the opening of FANTASTIC FLOORS, conveniently located in Val Caron at the Valley Bingo Plaza . 

Ron, with his vast experience in flooring, and Bernie, a professional teacher, plan on combining their personal strengths to help everyone from homeowners to homebuilders in the selection of the kind of flooring that is suited to both their needs and their lifestyle.

FANTASTIC FLOORS will contain everything you would ever want in terms of flooring options. Ron is happy to assist his customers in selecting the best flooring for their needs and will also provide professional installation. What’s more, Ron will be available to go that extra step in providing you with free consulting, free estimates and free local delivery if you are one of the many people who would rather have an expert do the job. 

One thing Ron and Bernie want to make perfectly clear to everyone is that they intend to be in this business for a long, long time. “I am not going to sell you something that you will not be happy with in a few years,” Ron reiterated. “I would rather lose a sale than sell you flooring that is not suited to your lifestyle or your needs. I’ve come across too many unhappy people in my life simply because they were allowed to select the wrong type or quality of flooring. When you speak about FANTASTIC FLOORS some time in the future, we want you to speak positively about both the service and product you received.”

Ron and Bernie are confident that Valley East and Capreol are on the verge of a major economic boom that will see a tremendous increase in both new housing construction as well as existing home renovations. “There are thousands of products on the market today and we realize that most people want to know exactly what they are buying. The type of flooring that a person selects is critical to the image and atmosphere created in a house. That is why it is so important for us to get to know as much as possible about our customers and their lifestyle. This allows us to suggest the best choice from all available options while still remaining within your personal budget goals.”

Ron intends to introduce some innovative new products to local residents, including the four-sided bevel laminate flooring from Domco that he and Bernie are examining in the photo. The laminate material looks and feels like hardwood and simply clicks into place without adhesive, making it easy for the do-it-yourselfer.

If you are thinking about new flooring, make sure you drop in and look at the options available at FANTASTIC FLOORS. Even if you decide to buy from someone else, Ron and Bernie want to make sure that you know what you should be looking for, so that your new floor is something you will be proud of for many years.

   Ron Pedneault, owner of Fantastic Floors, located in the Valley Bingo Plaza in Val Caron, is shown giving one of his customers a lesson in how to apply molding to the edge of a new laminate floor display that he is preparing for his showroom.
  
    Since opening their doors over a year and a half ago, Ron and his wife, Bernie haven’t looked back, “It has been a fantastic year and a half at FANTASTIC FLOORS. In fact it has been everything we had hoped for and more.”

  Ron, with his vast experience in flooring, and Bernie, a professional teacher, have combined their personal strengths to help everyone from homeowners to homebuilders in the selection of the kind of flooring that is suited to both their needs and their lifestyle. People have found that FANTASTIC FLOORS has everything you would want in terms of flooring options.

   But perhaps the biggest reason for the success of FANTASTIC FLOORS is the fact that Ron goes that “extra step” to make sure that everyone who comes into his store is properly educated with respect to the options that are not only available, but more importantly the options that are suitable for their particular needs.

   One thing Ron and Bernie have clearly demonstrated is that they intend to be in this business for a long, long time. “I am not going to sell you something that you will not be happy with in a few years,” Ron reiterated. “I would rather lose a sale than sell you flooring that is not suited to your lifestyle or your needs. I’ve come across too many unhappy people in my life simply because they were allowed to select the wrong type or quality of flooring. When you speak about FANTASTIC FLOORS some time in the future, we want you to speak positively about both the service and product you received.”

   To that end, Ron will spend as much time as it takes to make sure that you know what you want and need when it comes to installing flooring in your new or existing home. “The flooring is the last designing touch that makes your house look its best, so it is important that you take your time and select the kind of flooring that will match your furniture, your wall colouring and your lifestyle. When you are building a new home it is easy to put up the shell, but the flooring is the dressing that everyone notices the instant they walk through your front doors.”

   Ron is so proud of being part of the community of Valley East that he has just announced the creation of the Fantastic Floors Bursary Fund. Every time a customer purchases a total of more than $6000 to do their new home flooring or a major renovation project, Ron will be placing $150 into a special Fantastic Floors Bursary Fund. 

Starting with the graduating class of 2008, he will be awarding two bursaries to each of the four high schools in Valley East to help students who plan on pursuing their studies towards a career in the trades. He expects each bursary to be worth between $400 and $500. This is his way of helping local students get started in a satisfying and rewarding career.
