John Taylor, Owner and Operator
John brings 35 years of local experience to the flooring business. John learned about flooring at Parkman
Taylor’s then set up and managed Castle Hardware before striking out on his own to initiate Taylor’s Custom Flooring.
John understands and meets the need for customer service in all aspects of the flooring business from the
initial home visit to installation and after care. Timely quotes, accurate measures, sample drop-offs, furniture movement, door removal,
shaving, re-hang and pristine clean-up are all part of the quality service you receive at Taylor’s.
In his off hours you may spot John playing country music at a community fundraiser, or being dragged on bike
or sled by the dog the local animal shelter “donated” to him for his support.

Elaine Mikolaitis, Store Manager
Elaine has been managing the store, John, our installers and Al for over 15 years. With 20 years in
the fashion décor business she is the perfect person to help you sort through our vast flooring selection. Whether you’re looking for
carpet, laminate, vinyl, ceramic, hardwood or remnants, Elaine can help you make an informed choice.
Elaine handles ordering and scheduling as well as the day-to-day store management. We’re not sure how, but she
also manages to keep her countertop well-stocked with cookies and other tasty tidbits despite her co-workers best efforts to empty the
plate!

Janet Boyes, Customer Service & Sales
Janet is our customer service and sales expert. She'll greet you with a smile and go out of her way to help
you find the right floor for your needs. Her background in clothing fashion and design gives her an eagle eye for colour and texture, and
an understanding of decor trends that's unsurpassed.
Although Janet is the newest member of our staff, she's made herself right at home--and she'll make
you feel that way too.
Al Taylor, Fine Carpenter
Al is the Taylor behind the former Parkman Taylor hardware and construction business. If it’s not
golfing season, you’ll often find him in the store or shop working on some aspect of a custom carpentry job—he’s well known for his
specialty in circular staircases.
Al’s presence is a distinct advantage to our customers who benefit from custom trim molds, stair nosings and
reducer molds.
