Shoreline Flooring and Tile grew out of a legacy of love. Thad and Ann Lewis originally opened their business in 1981 in Wilson, North Carolina. Starting in the warehouse at the age of nine, their son TJ learned the flooring business, working alongside his father, Thad, for 30 years. Thad retired in 2018, and TJ took the reins of the family business.
TJ met his wife Elizabeth while on vacation in Ocean Isle Beach. A Brunswick County native, Elizabeth worked at Thomas/ Seashore Drugs, the family business her grandfather opened in 1964, which is still owned and operated by her family today. The two ECU grads fell in love, married the same year and after seven years of running the business and living in Raleigh, they decided it was time for a change. They moved themselves and the flooring company to Shallotte, Elizabeth's hometown, and haven't had time to look back!
They have been working hard since moving to Shallotte to establish their presence in the community with builders and clients, to perfect their showroom and to grow the family business in Brunswick County.
Although Shoreline Flooring and Tile sells and specializes in flooring and tile, they are also a one-stop design shop, with the largest showroom in Brunswick County. They have trained interior designers on staff to assist with selecting flooring, tile and the overall aesthetics of any project. Flooring options include hardwood, carpet, porcelain and luxury vinyl tile, luxury vinyl plank, custom rugs, runners and so much more. They love assisting their customers with tile selections as there are so many exciting, new options for flooring, backsplashes, showers and more.
Their highly trained design staff assists their customers in every aspect of making the best selections to fit each customer's personal needs and to create a one-of-a-kind WOW factor for each individual. A lot of planning, preparation and communication is required to take a project from inspiration to installation. TJ and Elizabeth love the creative process and work as a team to ensure that the results exceed their customers' expectations.
