JK Carpets was founded in 1985 by John and Pam Kulick in Locust Grove, VA. John started in the flooring industry as a young teenager, learning the trade through his father, and continued as a flooring installer before deciding to start his own business. His wife, Pam, had an accounting background and naturally took responsibility of the bookkeeping and ordering, while John provided estimates, scheduled installations, and completed jobs along with other JK Carpets installers.
They started out with a small showroom and office, with a separate rented storage space as their warehouse, just outside of Lake of the Woods. As their business grew, so did their need for space, and in 1996, JK Carpets built their current building, on Germanna Highway, that houses their showroom, offices, and a 5,000 square foot warehouse.
