About Floor Coverings International
Floor Coverings International (FCI) is a residential and commercial flooring franchise built around a mobile-showroom model. Instead of running a retail storefront, franchisees bring a van stocked with more than 3,000 flooring samples covering hardwood, laminate, carpet, tile and luxury vinyl directly to customers’ homes for an in-home design and selection appointment.
Operating since 1988 and franchising across the United States and Canada, FCI has grown into an established North American network of roughly 290 locations. The brand is part of FirstService Brands, the franchising arm of publicly listed FirstService Corporation, whose portfolio also includes CertaPro Painters, California Closets and Pillar to Post Home Inspectors.
Territories are protected, and the model is designed to be run as a scalable local business: the owner acts as the CEO, building a team of design associates and installation crews rather than personally fitting floors. Products are sourced directly from major manufacturers, and FCI positions itself as the number-one flooring franchise in North America.
Franchisee Support
FCI's two-year New Franchise Development Program (NFDP) blends at-home digital onboarding with three in-person events at the Atlanta headquarters, followed by 12 weeks of field-training calls and ongoing weekly resource calls led by the Start Up operations team. Owners run the business on a proprietary CRM with Salesforce integration and receive continuing field-marketing support, lead-generation campaigns and annual conventions. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and transfer training FCI provides incoming owners, and what CRM and system access carries over with the sale.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Floor Coverings International is among the most recognised brands in its category. It holds the No. 1 flooring spot on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 (ranked #114 overall on the 2025 list) and was named #5 on Entrepreneur's inaugural 2026 Top 10 Home Improvement Franchises. FCI is a two-time winner of Franchise Update Media's Most Innovative Use of Technology Award and a Franchise Times Top Brand to Buy, and has earned HomeAdvisor recognition including Best of HomeAdvisor, Top Rated and Elite Service. It carries strong consumer review scores and the backing of parent FirstService Brands.
Industry / Market
Flooring is a large, established part of the US home-improvement market, with annual sales commonly estimated at more than $30 billion and underpinned by a far larger residential remodeling sector. Demand is driven by an aging housing stock, home resales and ongoing renovation spending, and flooring replacement recurs as homes change hands or wear. The category is competitive, with big-box retailers, independents and contractors all in the mix, so local reputation, lead flow and installation quality shape a unit's performance.
Ideal Owner
The model suits a sales- and relationship-driven operator comfortable acting as the CEO of a local business rather than installing floors personally. No flooring-trade background is required; FCI looks for owners who can manage design associates and installation crews, drive local marketing and referrals, and guide homeowners through a consultative, design-led buying process. Strong organisation, customer-service instincts and a focus on building a scalable, fully staffed team matter more than technical expertise.
