Our story

Forty years of South Jersey floors — now at your door.

The original Atco Carpet storefront

Atco Carpet & Flooring opened its doors in 1985, when Dennis and Leslie Sims set out to do one thing well: help South Jersey families find the right floors and install them the right way. For nearly four decades, that’s exactly what we did — one home, one neighbor, one referral at a time.

When our storefront lease ended in 2023, we had a choice: chase another expensive retail space, or rethink the whole thing. We realized our customers never really came to us for the showroom — they came for honest advice, fair prices, and floors that lasted. So we did something better. We brought the store to them.

Today, we mail free samples right to your door, then bring the full library and a tape measure to your home when you’re ready. No showroom overhead means better prices. No commissions means no pressure. And the same family that’s installed South Jersey floors since 1985 still stands behind every job.

Most of our work still comes from neighbors who send their friends. Forty years on, that’s the part we’re proudest of.

Tools of the trade — carpet roll, ruler, and leather apron on a hardwood subfloor

How we still work

Same hands. Same standards. Better way to shop.

Every install still goes through Dennis and the same crew that’s been laying floors across South Jersey since 1985. The tools are the same. The standards are the same. The only thing that’s changed is where you sit when you pick the floor — your kitchen table instead of a fluorescent-lit showroom.

Honest, always

We'll tell you when to refinish instead of replace, or when a cheaper floor is the smarter call. Trust is the whole business.

Local since 1985

Not a national franchise. A real Atco family that's still here, still installing, still answering the phone.

Quality that lasts

We use the right pad, the right prep, and trusted brands like Mohawk, Shaw, Bruce, and COREtec. Fully insured, with a workmanship warranty behind every install.
