Charlottesville, VA – Crozet resident Randy Osborne opened his new Floor Coverings International business last month serving central Virginia with a focus on the Charlottesville area and expanding toward Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Waynesboro. Bringing over 30 years of leadership experience in supply chain operations and consulting, Osborne is excited to offer a fresh approach to flooring solutions through Floor Coverings International’s unique mobile showroom model.
Osborne’s business covers a broad territory along the Interstate 64 corridor, including towns such as Crozet, Barboursville, Earlysville, and Ruckersville. The service area also extends to Interstate 81 communities, offering residents convenient access to quality flooring options. With a passion for customer service and a commitment to making flooring easy, Osborne aims to deliver personalized solutions that leave customers with beautiful, durable floors and a sound investment.
“I decided to start this new chapter after my children moved out and I realized I wanted to build something from the ground up,” Osborne said. “Floor Coverings International’s mobile showroom approach lets us bring the showroom experience directly to customers’ homes, removing the hassle and making the process straightforward. We’re a local business focused on quality, service, and creating real value for our clients.”
Osborne’s extensive background in managing complex projects, ranging from large commercial facilities to residential renovations, gives him a unique advantage in understanding the needs of customers. His expertise covers a wide range of flooring types, including carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and ceramic tile. He is well-equipped to guide clients through every step, from site inspections and cost estimates to installation management and final delivery.
With trends favoring longer and wider plank flooring, Osborne notes that customers now have more options than ever. “The growing popularity of solid hardwood alternatives like performance hardwood, luxury vinyl planks, and laminates means customers can achieve a stunning, authentic look at various price points,” he said. His goal is to solve customers’ flooring challenges while building a team that shares his enthusiasm and commitment.
Floor Coverings International provides high-quality flooring solutions with outstanding customer service. Osborne’s new business invites residents throughout central Virginia to experience this innovative, convenient way to transform their homes.
