When it comes to choos­ing a flooring contrac­tor there are many advantages to dealing directly with the owners. Large home centers can often be impersonal and staffed with workers that lack a depth of knowledge regarding their prod­ucts and services. Also, the sales­people at these stores are often transient and ultimately have little invested in your long term satisfaction and repeat business.

At AC Designing Women Flooring, we have over 40 years experience and the commit­ment to provide you with the best product, price, and service. Jeannie Martinolich and Barbara Goldstein have owned this family business for over 15 years. The company grew from Barbara’s husband and Jeannie’s dad’s business in Bristol, P.A. Their business, Delaware Valley Carpet, was the largest in the tri-state area, for over 25 years. Barbara worked hard to earn the distinction of being the best. Jeannie was raised in the business from the time she was a child. While growing up, she learned every facet of the flooring and deco­rating business.

After transferring to the Jersey Shore in the 80’s, Barbara encouraged Jeannie to consider the flooring business. It didn’t take a lot of coax­ing. One night, over dinner, they decided to borrow their new company name, ”Designing Women” from the TV show of the same name. Barbra added the initials, AC (Atlantic City) Designing Women, and they were incorporated the next day. In 1992, they began their business and have experienced tremendous growth built on the foundation of satisfied customers.

Barbara and Jeannie have floored homes, offices, churches, schools, retail stores and apart­ment buildings. They love new construction and have a talent for making an existing room or home, look like it is new! They hold contracts with reputable custom builders and have repeat business time and time again. Their business has flourished on recommendations from custom­ers that tell a friend. Their many great referrals often lead to huge jobs as far away as Philadelphia and New York City.

Their greatest strength is that they are owner/opera­tors and that creates a team that cannot be matched by any wholesaler or retailer. When an owner from this dynamic mother/ daughter duo, comes to your home or business, you can be assured of top shelf ser­vice.

When Barbara or Jeannie makes an appointment, they ask questions. Do you want Porcelain or Travertine tile, American or Exotic Hardwood, or perhaps you’re in the market for carpet. In today’s world, they know how educated the con­sumer is and look forward to the task. They know that everybody receives circulars with ads for discounts. Let me guarantee that the quote you’ll receive from AC Designing women, will shock you…. They’ve been asked how can they offer such low pricing for the same or better product that the “Bigger Guys”? The answer is simple. They own a warehouse, have no employees, and deal direct with the mill. Whether it’s Shaw or Mohawk carpet, area rugs, imported tiles, a prefinished Bruce or an unfin­ished plank hardwood floor, AC Designing Women gets the prod­uct direct from the manufacturer to their warehouse and passes on the wholesale price directly to you!
