Andrew Fouch spent 24 years as an Automotive Service Director but was ready to move forward to business ownership with a community focus. He landed with much research on the flooring industry, specifically with Floor Coverings International with more than 300 locations and its unique Mobile Flooring ShowroomTM concept, delivering more than 3,000 flooring options directly to customers’ homes and businesses.

Fouch brings his service background and strong business acumen to his FCI business. “I always strive to treat my customers and employees fairly,” said Fouch. “My goal is to provide a stellar one-stop shopping experience, leading with a customer-centric philosophy, we ensure every client receives flooring options tailored to their vision and needs, all from the comfort of their home.”

Floor Coverings International® (FCI) is a fresh addition to the area. One of its most innovative features is the Mobile Flooring ShowroomTM, which brings the flooring store directly to customers’ homes or businesses. This eliminates the need for customers to transport heavy samples, as FCI arrives fully prepared to showcase an array of products for all flooring projects and investments. No more running to different stores, the mobile showroom comes right to the customer’s door with over 3000 flooring options, the homeowner can peruse samples next to their existing decor and lighting. This has revolutionized the way people buy floors.

The big favorites throughout the system? Pet and kid-friendly floors that clean up with one mopping and look like genuine wood. The most popular choices are:

  • Sustainable Materials: Homeowners are turning to laminate flooring crafted from eco-friendly materials such as recycled wood fibers.
  • Authentic Wood Look: The demand for realistic-looking wood floors continues to soar.
  • Waterproof Performance: Given recent erratic weather conditions everywhere, waterproof laminate floors are hot!
  • Vinyl Flooring: As technology advances, vinyl flooring gets close to natural wood and stone looks that are easily cleaned with a damp mop.
  • Carpet: There are still die-hard carpet lovers because of the feeling and look of cozy and warm – Not so much shag. Many more flat pile, textures and patterned looks are available.
  • Engineered Hardwood Flooring: This is the best in luxury flooring offering real wood veneers with remarkably high quality and detail.

Fouch’s service aims to meet the growing demand for pet- and kid-friendly floors that combine durability with style.
