Bert Vis Flooring: A Legacy of Quality and Service
For over four decades, Bert Vis Flooring has been a trusted name in the West Niagara community, offering exceptional flooring solutions and outstanding customer service. What started as a small, family-run business in a rented garage has grown into a well-established company with a reputation for quality, expertise, and dedication.
Humble Beginnings and Steady Growth
Bert Vis Flooring began in 1978 when Bert Vis, a Dutch immigrant, and his wife Joan launched the business from a rented garage in Caistor Centre. Having grown up in the flooring industry—his father owned a flooring store in the Netherlands—Bert brought his knowledge and passion for the trade to Canada. Guided by their Christian faith, the couple built their business with a focus on quality workmanship and superior customer service.
As the business grew, Bert and Joan relocated to Grassie, Ontario, where they operated from their attached garage. It was here that Bert’s brother, Wolter, joined them after immigrating from the Netherlands. The company continued to expand, soon outgrowing its space.
In 1984, Bert Vis Flooring moved to a rented storefront in Smithville, later purchasing and relocating to the former Smithville Bakery building. The company continued to flourish, and in 1997, they expanded by acquiring Peninsula Tile in Grimsby. Within a few years, they consolidated their Grimsby locations into one large facility, providing a more streamlined customer experience.
A Family Legacy
In 2017, Bert and Joan’s son, Ralph, and his wife Jane took ownership of the business. While Bert remains involved, and Wolter continues as general manager, the company remains firmly rooted in family values. Today, Bert Vis Flooring boasts a team of over twenty dedicated staff members, including Bert and Joan’s son, Henry. Their commitment to hard work, personalized service, and expert craftsmanship continues to drive the company forward.
