If you’ve driven in the SuperTarget shopping center on Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd. recently, you may have noticed a change at the flooring store next to Marshall’s. In fact, new owner Giovanni Gocaj has not only changed the name of the showroom, he’s also greatly expanded the services that his Giovanni’s Flooring, Kitchen & Bath now provides.
Giovanni, who is originally from Albania, moved to the Trinity area of New Port Richey in 2002 and now has worked for more than 20 years in the flooring and kitchen and bath remodeling business.

By 2011, Giovanni had decided to open his own flooring store in Trinity. A decade or so later, he decided to get his own general contractor’s license in order to be able to expand his store’s services.
“As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of creating spaces that reflect the unique style and needs of each family,” Giovanni’s website, GiovanniFlooringLLC.com says. “From luxurious hardwood floors to durable tile installations, we offer a wide range of flooring options to suit every taste and budget. We also specialize in full bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects, turning outdated spaces into modern, functional and beautiful areas that enhance the overall value and enjoyment of your home.”
He decided to bring all of that experience to the fast-growing Wesley Chapel area and starting talking last year to Andy Dunning, who had was the owner of the American Flooring store where Giovanni’s is now located.
“I’ve known Andy for almost 15 years,” Giovanni says. “I used to do installations for his New Port Richey location.”
He adds that, “With the way Wesley Chapel is growing, I thought the time was right for me to give it a try — opening my second location in this area.”
Available Services

Giovanni says that selling and installing all kinds of flooring is still a big part of his business, but he is happy to also bring his full kitchen and bath remodeling services to the Wesley Chapel area.
“I use a lot of different vendors and have a lot of different places we get the kitchen and bath fixtures and other products from,” he says. “My team and I can basically design and install almost anything you want.”
As for the flooring itself, Giovanni says that the most popular requests he gets are for luxury vinyl planks (LVPs) and hardwood flooring. “And I have — or can get — almost every brand that’s out there.”
One new product line he’s now carrying is Mohawk flooring, as well as the equally popular Mannington LVPs, which are scratch-resistant, kid and pet friendly and fully waterproof.
A True Family Affair
And, while American Flooring had installers on staff, Giovanni’s takes that one step further:
“I have all of my family members — my brother Peter, my father Luik, my cousins Julian, Elvis and Emilio and more working with me, and handling our installations.”
And, while many people still believe that the home improvement warehouses always have lower prices, Giovanni says that simply isn’t true.

“Why should people check us out before those places?,” he asks. “Because we offer way better quality flooring, even better prices and we stand behind our work.”
As for his business philosophy, Giovanni says that, “Quality is #1 for us. We have so many five-star reviews because people really like the work we do.”
He notes, however, because he’s only been open a month or so in Wesley Chapel, he doesn’t have any local reviews yet.
“But every Google review of our Trinity location is 5 stars out of 5,” he says. “We’ve never had a complaint.”
Giovanni’s is currently offering a special on luxury vinyl plank installations, but he says he invites anyone in Wesley Chapel or New Tampa who wants any kind of flooring or remodeling job to come in an see the revamped Wesley Chapel showroom.
“We also have a website, which has pictures of the products we offer,” he says, “and a lot of examples of our work.”
