Palazzi Brothers
  Brothers Paul and Marco Palazzi immigrated to Canada in 1954 from Fano, (in the province of Pesaro), Italy. In 1959, with hard work and ambition, the two men started their company from Paul’s home on Giles Blvd. in Windsor, Ontario. Palazzi Brothers Carpet and Tile Ltd. is a household name here in Windsor and Essex County. Marco and Paul never forgot their origins.

In the early years Paul and Marco, along with their wives Betty and Elena, handled all aspects of the flooring business: ordering, designing and installing flooring. In 1963, younger brother Max joined his brothers. Business grew to the point where their first building at 3449 Walker Road was erected.

Over the years, the Palazzi Bros. continued to explore new ventures and expansions. Palazzi Tile Imports was born in 1985.

Located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and owned and operated by Tony Aversa and Robert Palazzi, Palazzi Bros. has currently opened a designer showroom in downtown Sarnia, Ontario. Paul’s daughter, Paula Mele, manages the Sarnia location.
