Three generations of Holland Floor Covering, now in Wayne

For almost 50 years, Holland Floor Covering has installed highquality carpet, area rugs, hardwood, and tile in Bucks County homes and businesses. Last spring, they opened their second showroom in Wayne to serve the Main Line.

Dave Hansbarger, Sr., a carpet installer since 1970, started Holland Floor Covering in 1973 with his wife Judy, and their sons Roger and David Hansbarger learned about flooring from the ground up. The Wayne store now involves the third generation of the Hansbarger family, including Mike Miller, who manages the commercial end of the business, and on the retail side, grandchildren Sarah Alles and Roger Hansbarger Jr.

Alles, who joined the company in August 2018, and Hansbarger Jr. essentially grew up in the family business, playing in the Bucks County showroom while their parents worked close by.

“This is more than a job to me; this is family,” Roger says. “Getting to a third generation is a big accomplishment for us, and so was opening the new location. The Main Line is an awesome market, with such a deep and rich history. We knew this was the kind of community that would appreciate a service-oriented company like ours, and the reception we’ve gotten so far proves that.”

Located at 124 E. Lancaster Avenue, in the heart of downtown Wayne, Holland Floor’s new showroom opened in the space once occupied by Wayne Sporting Goods, that had been at that address for more than six decades.

Hansbarger cites his family, his co-workers, and the company’s service-minded culture as the differentiators that have made it so successful.

“When I was training, my father told me to do whatever we can to help the customer,” he says. “We’re all about providing high-quality flooring, offering the best service we can, and being part of the community. I don’t see those ideals ever going out of style.”
