When most people think of Kenny Fuselier & Co. they think about quality flooring: luxury vinyl, wood, engineered wood, tile, laminate and carpet. Kenny and Lucy Fuselier have been selling window treatments for almost as long as Kenny has been in the flooring business.
“Lucy, my wife, and I started selling blinds at a time when few other stores were in that line of business,” said Kenny Fuselier. We still offer the best prices, by far, on all our custom window treatments.”
In addition to flooring and window treatments, Kenny Fuselier & Co. sells awnings, area rugs, wallpaper, tile back splashes and shower/tub surrounds.
Home and professional decorators love to browse residential and commercial wallpaper, window treatments and fabric samples in the “wallpaper room.”
Lucy said one of the store’s window treatment brands is Hunter Douglas. Kenny Fuselier & Co. also offers a faux wood blind brand that looks high end, but costs less than other brand names. It is durable against chips, cracks and warping. It is moisture resistant and flame retardant, which means it can be used in the kitchen or bath.
“Pulling together everything for a new home or a remodel isn’t always as easy as it looks,” said Lucy. “When customers budget for and take time to plan window treatments, it shows.”
Window treatments can make or break the finished look of a room. However, choosing the right window covering isn’t only about good looks. It’s also about function.
“Fabrics and materials diffuse light or completely block the light,” Lucy said. Energy-efficient products help keep homes a little warmer in the winter and a little cooler in the summer. Some products have enhanced child and pet safety features or work top-down and bottom-up. We even sell motorized blinds that can be opened and closed from a cell phone or tablet.”
Flooring and window treatment choices can be overwhelming. Being able to coordinate and select both at the same time with the help of experienced professionals can eliminate stress and confusion.
“Walk in a ‘Big Box’ store and if you can find someone to wait on you, “Kenny said, “chances are they won’t have the experience of this sales staff. Our salespeople understand the products, know what’s required for installation and know how to help you pinpoint the right product for your lifestyle. We have a staff that probably has almost 100 years combined experience. It makes a difference.”
Kenny Fuselier & Co. sells and installs flooring and window treatments for homes, churches, businesses, casinos, mobile homes, boats and motor homes.
Our slogan is, “You can walk on our reputation,” Fuselier said. “We like to make customers happy. Customer satisfaction is the thing that continues to grow this business.”
