About the shop
Mark Gonsenhauser's Rug & Carpet Superstore sits on Virginia Beach Boulevard, where the whole point is that you walk in and put your hands on the thing before you buy it. Flooring photographs badly. A colour that reads warm on a screen turns grey under your own light, and a pile that looks plush in a picture can feel like a doormat underfoot.
That is the argument for a showroom, and it is why a shop like this still exists in a world of online ordering. Room-sized rugs, broadloom carpet, runners and remnants, laid out where you can see how they behave in daylight and carry a sample home to hold against your own wall.
What we do
- Area rugs
- Room-sized and accent rugs across a range of constructions, from machine-made to hand-knotted, laid out so you can compare them side by side.
- Wall-to-wall carpet
- Broadloom carpet for whole rooms and stairs, with pad options that make more difference to how a floor feels than most people expect.
- Runners and stair treads
- Cut and bound to the length you need, for hallways and staircases that take the most traffic in the house.
- Binding and finishing
- Carpet cut and bound into a custom rug for an odd-shaped room, which is often cheaper than finding a rug in that size.
- Measuring and estimates
- Getting the quantity right the first time. Carpet ordered short is a problem no installer can fix on the day.
- Installation
- Ask in store about installation for carpet and broadloom, including stairs and transitions.
How it works
Come in and look
Bring a photograph of the room, a cushion, a paint chip, whatever you are matching to. Comparing in person is the entire advantage of a showroom.
Take a sample home
See it in your own light, at night as well as during the day. Almost every regret about a floor is a regret about colour under the wrong lighting.
Measure and order
Quantities confirmed, delivery or installation arranged, and the old floor dealt with.

Questions people ask
Can I take a sample home?
Ask in store. Seeing a floor in your own light is the point of buying it locally, and it is the difference between a floor you like and a floor you tolerate.
What size rug do I need?
It depends on the room and whether the furniture sits on or off the rug. Bring the room dimensions and a rough furniture layout and it can be worked out at the counter.
Do you do installation?
Ask when you visit or call — installation options depend on the product and the room.
Which carpet holds up with pets and children?
Fibre and construction matter more than price. There are constructions that hide traffic patterns and clean well, and there are ones that will disappoint you in a year. Ask before you choose on looks alone.
Do you have remnants?
Stock changes constantly. Call before making the trip if you are after something specific.
