Own a
Floor Coverings International®
Invest in a home-based, van-based flooring business that brings a 3,000-option showroom right into the customer's home
— in a $100B+ category we've led since 1988.
This is a business you buy and own, with the capital to match — it is not a position with Floor Coverings International®. If you're ready to invest in a premium, in-home service business the big-box stores can't replicate, here's what it takes.

Why Own a Floor Coverings International?
3,000+ flooring options brought right to the customer's living room.
You bring the capital and the leadership. Skilled crews lay the floor.
No storefront, no landlord. Low overhead, easy to scale.
One of the largest, highest-rated flooring franchises — proven since 1988.
The Showroom Comes to the Customer
We Bring the Showroom to Them
Big-box flooring means driving to a warehouse and staring at a wall of samples under fluorescent light. Floor Coverings International® flipped that: a Design Associate arrives in a branded van with thousands of options, and the customer chooses their floor in their own home, in their own light.
It's why 93% of our jobs are custom — and why busy homeowners prefer shop-at-home over the retail run-around.
Built for the Owner, Not the Installer
You buy the franchise and run the business — you don't lay floor. Owners manage sales, design consultations, and a small team while skilled-labor crews handle installation. You bring the capital and the leadership; you never need to be a flooring tradesperson.
The model scales the same way it runs: add Design Associates and mobile showrooms as you grow into your protected territory.
Backed by a Real Support Engine
Two full years of owner onboarding — classroom, online, and peer groups — plus marketing automation and lead generation across online, realtor, and restoration channels.
And it's all backed by a brand ranked atop the flooring industry — 250+ locations across the U.S. and Canada and an Entrepreneur Franchise 500 honoree.
Flooring Demand Doesn't
Wait for the Economy
Floors wear out, homes get renovated, and properties get sold — in every economy. Flooring is consistently one of the highest-ROI home upgrades, and demand spans retail, realtor, and restoration. That's the durable, non-discretionary work behind the business you'd own.

Is This You?

You have the capital, or the funding, to invest in a business.
You'll run a proven playbook instead of reinventing it.
You can hire, train, and hold a small team accountable.
You find the next referral relationship before you need it.
You watch close rate and average ticket, not just busyness.
You see one van as the start, not the ceiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a job with Floor Coverings International®?
No. This is a franchise ownership opportunity, not employment.

It requires an estimated total investment of $154,000–$341,000. If you're looking for a position as an employee or an installer, this isn't it — contact your local Floor Coverings International® office instead.
Do I need flooring experience?
No. Skilled-labor crews handle installation. You run sales, in-home design consultations, and a small team — with two full years of training and support behind you. What you do need is the capital to invest.
How much do I need to invest?
The estimated total investment to launch is $154,000–$341,000. See Item 7 of the current FDD for the full breakdown and context.
How involved will I be day to day?
You operate from home, lead your Design Associates and install partners, and manage the numbers. You scale by adding mobile showrooms and people, not hours in a van.

Diversified marketing — online automation plus realtor and restoration partnerships — supported by the national brand and proven lead-gen systems.
Who actually buys flooring this way?
Busy homeowners who'd rather choose flooring in their own space and light than drive to a big-box store. It's why 93% of our jobs are custom.
