Owner/proprietor Jim Richardson has proven there is more than just windows and flooring to his business since opening Mapleton Flooring and Windows in 2008.
After eight years of experience at the former Harron’s Rona of Moorefield as store manager, purchaser and developing an Installed Sales Department, Richardson recognized a gap in the market for supply and installation services for all types of residential and commercial flooring, windows and doors in the area.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, he seized that opportunity and purchased his business from Carere’s Flooring and Windows and hasn’t looked back since. Early challenges such as finding the right balance of high quality products at affordable pricing, and skilled installers has ultimately led to Richardson’s success. Initially, Richardson’s focus was primarily on small residential projects but this has evolved into working with quality builders both residentially and commercially on larger projects.
“Ensuring that I am able to deliver quality, timely service on a small or large scale is important to me,” states Richardson. “We offer quality products and honest, dependable craftsmanship and you will always find Mapleton Flooring and Windows prompt and courteous.”
Within five years the business was relocated from Wood Street in Drayton to the current location at 83 Wellington Street in Drayton allowing for a larger showroom. Mapleton Flooring and Windows carries several lines of carpet, ceramic tile, laminate, hardwood, vinyl flooring. They sell vinyl windows, steel and fiberglass doors and garage doors to meet any budget or style.
In addition to window and flooring solutions, Mapleton Flooring and Windows also features unique custom designed one of a kind showers and back splashes. With an eye on quality, Richardson is proud to carry North Star Windows, since it currently ranks as the highest energy star rated windows in Ontario, backed with a lifetime warranty.
He notes that all components are made in-house which makes pricing comparable to lower end manufactured products. They also carry Therma Tru Doors which features thousands of various glass and door styles and options to give a one of a kind look to any entry. Another upside is that both companies manufacture and produce their products in Ontario.
Richardson stresses that staying ahead of current trends and changes in the industry is a primary a goal for his business and he works closely with his clients to ensure that the entire building/renovating process is cost effective and efficient.
As part of their service they have computer software to estimate all flooring materials to ensure accurate pricing and ordering. Computer-aided renderings of exterior doors and garage doors also allows customers to see exactly what their selection will look like on their house. Mapleton Flooring and Windows offers complete house packages for all windows, doors, garage doors, interior doors and flooring.
Having grown up in the area Richardson believes in giving back to his community by supporting the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation, the Mapleton Fire Department and Drayton Minor Soccer.
Whether it’s time to install new flooring and/or windows or to create a new kitchen concept, Mapleton Flooring and Windows can offer a wide variety of creative solutions that will keep your home current and fashionable.
