The Bad
- Individual Franchises
- Common Customer Complaints
Individual Franchises
One of the benefits of working with Floor Coverings International is its service area covers quite a bit of North America. The downside to that is it is because of the way the business model is set up. Floor Covering International branches are individually owned as flooring franchises. That means that the experience one client has in one state with a particular franchise could be vastly different from a franchise in another area making it difficult to consistently rate customer care or workmanship.
While there is a rigorous process to be professionally trained within the Floor Coverings International framework, it is virtually impossible to maintain control from one franchise to another in terms of day to day operation. The consistency throughout the country may not be the same as a flooring company with a drastically smaller service area.
Common Customer Complaints
Again, since each area is its own franchise of the overarching Floor Coverings International, there is no way to say one problem that a particular customer faces will be the same experience others working with a different team will experience. That being said, there seems to be a common consensus among former clients on a national level regarding project completion times.
There have been a growing number of reported issues stating that projects done by Floor Coverings International franchises took much longer than originally stated in the estimate process. There are a number of varying reasons for this discrepancy, but it is something prospective clients should be aware of.

Floor Coverings International provides end-to-end floor installation and upgrade services all across the nation. As a custom flooring provider, there are countless flooring options and solutions for interested customers to choose from that will transform a space and easily upgrade a home or office. Before getting started, clients can take advantage of the mobile flooring showroom tool the company has made available to those wishing to get an idea of what the final product will look like and cost.

While there are a number of reasons to consider Floor Coverings International, the company is not without its downsides. It should be noted that each Floor Coverings International is independently owned and operated so service can vary from one area to another. Additionally, a common complaint among former clients is the timeliness of project completion.
Residential and commercial clients looking to work with a professional flooring installation company that can provide accurate estimates, thousands of flooring options, and comprehensive protection in the form of extended warranties should consider Floor Coverings International.
