Lyle Means, Owner and President of L & L Specialists, and his wife, Joan, Owner and Secretary/Treasurer, started their insurance loss and floor covering business in 1976. It was a natural turn in Lyle's career, having spent ten years in insurance loss and floor covering sales, service, and installation.
In addition to her duties as Secretary/Treasurer, Joan is the Office Manager and part of the sales team. Joan uses her artistic abilities to assist clients in their selection of floor coverings. It can be a daunting experience selecting the floor covering that will meet the needs of your family or company, and Joan's expertise in this area is a definite asset.
In 2003, Rob Moher joined the L & L family as an Estimator as well as a Sales person. After joining L & L, Rob and his wife, Jody, added to their own family in 2005 with the birth of their son, Tyler. Rob has been a welcome addition to L & L Specialists and has quickly learned the business.
Hershy Hooch Means, our beloved chocolate lab, was born on July 12, 1997, and was chosen for adoption through Ducks Unlimited. Hershy is 9 years old in human years and 52 years old in dog years (but while swimming in the pool--his favorite activity--he acts like he's a teenager!). Hershy has had extensive training that is evident to those who visit our showroom and quickly becomes an instant friend to everyone.
