Our Story
Carolina Carpet & Flooring was founded in January 1989 by Joe Williamson and his brother-in-law James Young, fulfilling a shared dream. The business started small, in a cozy building on Wych Street in Henderson, NC.
In 1992, James Young moved on to other pursuits, and Joe, along with his wife Evelyn, continued serving the community. They focused on excellent customer service and offered a wide variety of flooring to meet every customer’s needs. Soon, their son Craig joined the team, helping with carpet cleaning and area rug binding.
As Carolina Carpet grew, the store moved to Raleigh Road, where it became common to see Joe, Evelyn, and even their grandchildren around the store.
In 2008, Joe and Evelyn retired, closing Carolina Carpet. Joe spent his retirement traveling and enjoying time with family.
Everything changed one day on the golf course, when Joe met John Faucette.
John encouraged Joe to re-open Carolina Carpet, believing Henderson still needed a family-owned flooring store.
After much persuasion, Joe agreed, and together they re-launched the store at its current location, 634 Dabney Drive, Henderson, NC, bringing quality flooring and family values back to the community.
