I was doing some work in a client's home (I'm a home improvement/renovation contractor) and I noticed how great their stair runners looked - quality carpet and well-installed. I was replacing the stair runners in my home so I asked who did the work - I was referred to Mike at Torontonian Flooring, who came by with plenty of samples and lots of great advice on how certain patterns work with different stair configurations. I was glad that, as an independent, he had access to a wide range of carpet patterns and grades. Mike's supplier had the carpet we chose in stock and he was able to take delivery quickly, cut it to size, and have the edges bound by another supplier. In my business, maintaining relationships with reliable suppliers is key. Clearly, it's the same for Mike. The installation soon followed and I'm very pleased with the runners. They look great and, even with the wool carpet we chose, it was miles cheaper than two other quotes we received! I know I'll be referring Mike to friends and I'm sure I'll be calling him to install carpet or stair runners for one of my clients. Like I said, having reliable suppliers is key I know I'll have that in a guy like Mike.
