BEST FLOORING & CARPETINGThe Vertical Connection CarpetOne Floor & Home8895 McGaw Road, Columbia.443-393-6421. verticalconnection.comThe flooring products offered at The Vertical Connection CarpetOne Floor & Home are modern, but the service is still old-fashioned.“Instead of treating everything as a transaction, we really look tobuild relationships,” said Adam Joss, 43, the owner of the family business that got its start almost 46 years ago when his parents, Kathy andSteven, needed a vertical blind for their new home in Columbia.Joss said that as a young couple, his folks were looking for somethingaffordable. They reached out to a family member in New York whomanufactured vertical blinds and could ship them directly for a fractionof the retail cost. The entrepreneurial light bulb went off for the couple.His mother was at that time a proofreader for the Columbia Flyer, thelocal newspaper, where as an employee she was able to place a free ad.“They ran a classified ad for discount vertical blinds in 1977 andthat’s how they started,” Joss said, adding that his mom still works inthe business today.The company prides itself on making customers happy.“It goes back to our genuine commitment to service and satisfaction,”said Joss, who grew up in Long Reach.“We’ve earned over 1,000 5-star reviews and we’re really proud ofthat.”Adam Joss, owner of The Vertical Connection Carpet One Floor & Home,poses with his associates.
