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 his door Ron hasn't looked back, “It has been a fantastic experience at FANTASTIC FLOORS. In fact it has been everything we had hoped for and more.”

  Ron, with his vast experience in flooring is able 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 has clearly demonstrated is that he intends 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 Pedneault, shown standing on the left in the photo, is pleased to give some of his good fortune back to the community. 
  
   Renee (Lauzon) Leblanc, shown standing on the far right in the photo, and her husband, Rob, recently moved into a new home in Val Caron with their 20 month old son, Brayden. They were the lucky winners of $2500 in a contest draw which was shortly after Ron opened Fantastic Floors.
   
   The Leblanc’s were also able to select LA PORTE DES EAUX/ THE WATERGATE, a Christian organization located on Pioneer Road in Sudbury as the recipient of the charity donation from Fantastic Floors. Ron donated $2500 to this worthwhile organization, which was represented by Lina Madore, President, shown seated in the photo. 

   Lina Madore expressed tremendous gratitude to Fantastic Floors for their generousity. "This will really help us get through the winter months."

   LA PORTE DES EAUX/ THE WATERGATE is operated entirely by volunteers. It is located in the old Ecole St. Mathieu building at 1534 Pioneer Road in the south end of Sudbury. The organization has a library that is open to the general public and conducts workshops and conferences for both adults and youth. They distribute food, clothing and furniture to needy families. A bible study evening is offered once a month as well. If you would like more information about the organization, simply call 523-1437 or drop in Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

   Ron Pedneault, owner of Fantastic Floors in Val Caron, is shown on the far left of the above photo. Beside him is 11 year old Cole Szanto, Andy Szanto and Dawn Brown, Development Coordinator of the Canadian Diabetes Association for North Eastern Ontario.

   On October 25, 2008 , Andy Szanto, Northern Ontario Beverage Specialist with Mother Parker’s Tea and Coffee, participated as a member of Team Diabetes in a marathon event in Dublin, Ireland . 

   Andy’s inspiration is none other than his son, Cole, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 22 months. Cole has learned to live with the disease while taking up to four needles a day. Today, he is fortunate to have the use of a computerized pump, which has meant an end to needles. The pump feeds insulin automatically into his body as needed. Cole, who served two years as the Northern Ontario Junior Ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, has been able to take part in virtually all of the activities of any normal boy, including playing hockey,  but he feels as if the pump has given him a whole new world of freedom. “When I was on the needles, I had to take them at the same time every day. That meant that I couldn’t sleep in and I always had to make sure I had my supplies with me. Now the pump does all of the work. I can even be sleeping and it feeds me the insulin.”

   Ron Pednealt was so inspired by the work being done by Andy and Cole that he decided to become a major sponsor by donating $2500 to help out with the expenses.

Many customers approach Ron Pedneault of Fantastic Floors with concerns about how their carpeting is creating unhealthy conditions in their home. However, Ron reserves judgment until he has had a chance to take a look at the carpets for himself. Recent research shows that carpets can actually improve the air quality in a house by filtering allergens and dust particles.

So before you make any final decisions on whether to replace your existing carpet with laminate, hardwood or vinyl, make sure you come to Ron for some good advice on what will be best for your home.
