Now Your New Floor Can Be Brought to Your Door

Huntington Beach, CA – July 25, 2024 – Randy Thomas, a 34-year manufacturing professional and a seasoned consumer product expert used to sell sewing machines. Realizing he was too young for retirement; Thomas found his next career calling. He then embarked on a new journey as the proud owner of a Floor Coverings International franchise in Huntington Beach, Calif. Thomas’ franchise services the vibrant communities within Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley and Santa Ana, bringing a personalized touch to home flooring solutions.

“I spent 34 years being very good at selling a product that is going the way of photo film and VHS tapes,” said Thomas with a smile. “I wanted to explore creative ways to sell a product that everyone wants. I hope this business can be an exciting future for one of my five children someday. As it already has become an exciting new direction for me. “I believe wise leaders surround themselves with people who are strong where they are weak, I have surrounded my Floor Coverings International franchise with installation and production teams that have over 100 years of combined experience in the flooring industry. Customers can trust that the flooring job we complete for them will be something that they will be proud to have pursued.”

Thomas advises aspiring entrepreneurs to embrace the challenge of pursuing their dreams, emphasizing that the pursuit itself is a reward, regardless of the outcome.

“The growing trend of investing in home improvements just continues,” said Thomas, “In our area, people are investing heavily into their existing homes more than they are selling them. A floor adds a lot of value to a remodel.”

"According to a recent study conducted by the National Association of Realtors®, 90% of homeowners who upgrade to hardwood floors have a greater desire to be at home and 77% have an increased sense of enjoyment when they are home. Additionally, the same study showed that refinishing hardwood floors yielded 147% cost recovery, and installing new wood floors yielded 118% cost recovery in terms of the increased resale value as compared to the cost of the project."1

With Floor Coverings International having already revolutionized the market, the flooring industry is undergoing significant changes and innovations as well, as consumers demand more quality, variety, and sustainability in their flooring choices. Current market conditions are also factoring into when and why consumers decide to invest in new flooring. According to U.S. Bank, the housing market continues to be strongly affected by elevated interest rates. Higher rates, combined with rising home values, means housing is now a much costlier expense for potential buyers than was the case only a few years ago, it reported. As a result, people might be choosing to stay in their current homes and remodel, rather than move.

The big flooring favorites throughout the system? Pet-and kid-friendly floors that clean up with one mopping and look like genuine wood. Favorites in the Huntington Beach market include:
