What makes you unique? Our longstanding reputation, friendly and dependable experts, core values, outstanding warranties, and Five-Star experience.

What does your company pride itself on? More than a century of history and the relationships we have built over generations. The La Grange store has been there since 1950. We also take pride in making our clients happy.

What sets you apart from your competition? With more than 4,000 installations per year, we have buying power, reputation, and high-quality employees.

Best thing about 2020 was? The remodeling business was strong in 2020, so we saw a lot of growth. We also launched a new division called “Shop at Home”—creating the DeSitter Experience from the comfort of home.

Trends on the horizon? Hard surfaces are becoming more popular in bedrooms and in second floor living spaces, creating the need for rugs to soften the space and create comfort. We can do custom-size carpet or rugs to fit any room.

Most looking forward to in 2021? Growing our company, building our trade business, increasing our showroom performance, and seeing our Shop at Home eCommerce expand.

Best advice ever given to you? When bad things happen to good people, they become better people!

Favorite mantra? Success does not happen by accident.
