Name Telesco Abbey Carpet and Floor Floored! Sylvan Lake store has extensive selection to meetyour needs. J eff Telesco has been in the flooring business all his life. The former longtime general manager of Franklin Floors opened his own company, Telesco Abbey Carpet and Floor, in Sylvan Lake in 2009, after his former employer went out of business. He brought his former co-workers to his new company, and they've been providing full-service flooring to Oakland County customers ever since. Telesco has a large selection of wool carpets and hardwoods and custom runners. "We work with a lot of high-end builders and designers," Telesco says. "They trust our selection and our staff to help them choose the right materials and products to meet their needs." All of the salespeople at Telesco are former installers and do their own measurements, so the customer is always guaranteed the best service. Telesco saw business drop off during the Great Recession. In recent months, however, Telesco says he has noticed an uptick. Among Telesco's customers, hardwoods are still a huge seller. "Carpeting is always popular, and bamboo and cork are also gaining in popularity," he says. Abbey Carpet offers the highest quality styles and brand name carpets in the industry. In March, Telesco added a new product to his sprawling 8,000-square-foot showroom: closet organization systems. These modular systems maximize the space in a standard closet and can be customized for each individual. They also cost a fraction of what a traditional custom closet organization system costs. "We have products for every price point," Telesco says. "Come into our showroom, and you will find something to fit your lifestyle and your budget." nt] The Perfect Home Deserves The Perfect Floor Visit our Showroom for the Latest Styles and Designs in Carpet • Hardwood • Laminate • Area Rugs • • • .'
