What sets Messner Flooring apart is that every one of our flooring experts is truly dedicated to ensuring that you have the best experience – every step of the way! Our success has been built on the dedication, expertise, and passion of our amazing team of employees. Many members of our team have been here for over a decade or more.
Peter Messner is President of Messner Flooring and started at the company in 1977 as his dad Ben Messner’s first employee. The early days at the B.J. Messner Co. allowed Peter to develop many skills such as forklift operation, rug deliveries, commercial estimating, and project management. In the mid 80’s Peter took over the operations and back-office functions. In 1987, he purchased the company after his father’s untimely death, and today he manages the commercial company and operations at both the retail stores. The skills that Peter developed in his early years are still called upon on a daily basis.
Greg is Vice President of Messner Flooring. His father, Ben Messner, founded Messner Flooring in 1962, and in 1985, Greg joined his dad and brother Peter in helping to run the family business. Today, Greg is the face of the Pittsford Messner Flooring store, and Vice President of the business that has grown into 3 locations in Rochester, NY. Greg enjoys being in the Pittsford showroom helping customers find the perfect flooring. He truly loves the connections he makes with people, helping generations of clients and families over the last 35 years!
Ted Messner has worked for Messner Flooring on and off since 2003 and became a full-time employee in 2013. He has handled both commercial bid work and negotiated work, also handling a lot of the nonprofit work. He really enjoys working with long-term clients as it enables him to develop relationships over time. This brings greater understanding overall, and enables us to meet their needs as well as get to know them on a personal level. When he is not in the office, you can find him hiking with his wife Candace, and their two dogs Mick and Maddy.
Christo manages our retail flooring locations in both Pittsford and Greece. He is one of our most recent employees, having joined the team in the Fall of 2018. With a background in home improvement and flooring, he brings a great deal of experience to the team. Christo lives with his wife and children in Rochester, NY, and in his free time enjoys camping and spending quality time with his family.
Lisa joined the Messner Flooring team in 2004, and handles everything from health plans to payroll. Lisa manages the office, pays bills, manages payroll, and handles additional HR responsibilities. Lisa helps the Messner Flooring team with health and life insurance, the IRA plan, and more. Lisa is proud to work for Messner Flooring. She says, “I’m glad we’re an ethical company, and that we put out a good product and do good work. I’m proud of our great reputation. And I enjoy helping our employees.”
Theresa joined the Messner Flooring team in 2008 as the Residential Service Coordinator, and now the Residential Operations Manager. She works with every single retail customer, yet rarely gets to meet them in person! Theresa handles everything from the scheduling of installations, cancellations, delivery and timing requests, and more. She also handles orders, bills, and reconciliation, and though she also handles every aspect of retail service, she enjoys staying busy and working with the installers, manufacturers, delivery people and of course the customers. To Theresa, seeing a project come together is the most rewarding part.
A proud member of our warehouse staff, James is our stain master. Supporting Rick, he keeps the warehouse organized and clean. He accurately cuts carpet and pad daily, for residential and commercial jobs. James has been working in the warehouse industry since 2005 and started with the Messner team in summer 2021. Occasionally making deliveries, James enjoys being able to make connections with our contractors and customers.
Doug has been our “Go To” man on the commercial side since joining the Messner team in 2014. He provides strong office and warehouse inventory support. We entrust him with all commercial submittals, order placements and billing. He also coordinates all our commercial install crews. His favorite thing about Messner is the collaboration that goes on within the organization and our partners in the field.
