FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Footprints Floors Franchise

Footprints Floors is a residential flooring installation and restoration franchise. Its crews install and refinish hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, stone and stair flooring for homeowners. Founded in 2008 and franchising since 2013, the brand has grown to more than 100 locations across the United States.

The model is labour-only and home-based: customers buy their own flooring materials, vetted subcontractors carry out installation, and the franchise owner runs estimates, sales and quality control rather than doing the work. There is no showroom, no inventory and no employed installers, and a corporate call centre books appointments around each owner’s availability within a protected territory.

The brand has extended into bathroom remodelling and tile through a sister concept, Footprints Bath and Tile, broadening its home-improvement reach. Low overhead, subcontracted labour and centralised lead generation set it apart from showroom-based flooring retailers.

Why buy a Footprints Floors Franchise?

Footprints Floors sits in a steady home-improvement category, and the appeal of the model is its lean economics. Because customers supply their own materials and installation is subcontracted, owners avoid the rent, inventory and payroll that weigh on showroom retailers, which can support attractive margins on a relatively low investment.

To buy a Footprints Floors franchise is to take on a sales- and management-led business rather than a trade: corporate marketing, SEO and a dedicated call centre feed the appointment pipeline, leaving the owner to convert estimates and coordinate crews. The sister Footprints Bath and Tile brand also gives established owners a route to add remodelling revenue.

Footprints Floors – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training runs through Footprints Floors University and combines 56 hours of classroom instruction with 67 hours of on-the-job training: two weeks at the company's Colorado support centre followed by four to seven weeks of hands-on training in the owner's own market, plus follow-up sessions. Ongoing support includes conference calls, webinars, training modules and peer networking, marketing help across SEO, social media, websites and direct mail, and a dedicated call centre that handles scheduling and customer enquiries. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and Footprints Floors University access transfers to a new owner.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Footprints Floors suits a sales- and management-minded operator rather than a hands-on installer. Owners spend their time quoting jobs, winning customers and coordinating subcontractor crews, so the model rewards people who are confident in sales, organised in scheduling and comfortable holding crews to a quality standard. A management, construction or retail background helps, but trade installation skills are not required. It fits hands-on local operators who value building customer relationships and the flexibility of a home-based, appointment-driven business.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Footprints Floors has earned national recognition, appearing on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (ranked #449 in 2023) and on the same publisher's Top Home-Based & Mobile Franchises list at #115 in 2023, and it has been named to the Franchise Times Top 500. Internally, the brand recognises operators through its President's, Service, Founder's and Cobblestone awards for revenue milestones, customer satisfaction and strong new-owner performance. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Footprints Floors operates in the US flooring market, estimated at $35.8 billion in 2025 and projected to expand at 6.7% a year through the early 2030s (Grand View Research). Demand is driven by home renovation and remodelling activity, an ageing housing stock and homeowners upgrading to hardwood, tile and luxury vinyl. Installation-led flooring work tends to hold up across economic cycles because worn or damaged floors eventually need replacing. For resale buyers, local housing turnover, remodelling spend and competition from independent installers shape how a given territory performs.
