As U.S. residents continue to move toward convenience, accessibility, and delivery, the flooring industry is dominated by big-box retailers. These retailers require homeowners to get into their cars and make flooring decisions away from their homes.

Instead, Floor Coverings International brings the showroom to its customers’ homes. Franchisees and their teams work with the homeowner to deliver products that are right for them. This customer experience is part of the reason why Floor Coverings International's NET Promoter Score, which is based largely on customer satisfaction, is the highest in the industry.

Floor Coverings International is a dynamic, fun, and creative business for franchisees passionate about home remodeling. Franchisees have the full support of an established franchise system with a proven track record of helping franchisees. With a hyper-relevant business model focused on customer relationships, low investment costs, and rising demand for convenience, Floor Coverings International continues to disrupt the flooring industry.
