The company operates 43 branch locations across Arizona, California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Washington, and Texas, backed by 879,000+ square feet of warehouse space that supports extensive inventory availability. Its product portfolio spans hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, sheet goods, rubber, ceramic tile, stone, and associated installation supplies including adhesives, concrete specialties, floor prep, moisture mitigation, waterproofing, machines and large equipment, moldings, wall base, treads, and safety/surface protection products. The company carries proprietary sub-brands including Gemcore (laminate/SPC), Monarch Plank (hardwood), and Ecore (rubber/vinyl).

The business operates a B2B wholesale distribution model combining physical branch showrooms, an e-commerce platform with ElasticSuite-powered search and Roomvo visualizer integration, credit and finance services for professional customers, and a Trade Program for Architects & Designers to capture specification-stage projects. Customers include residential and commercial flooring contractors, installers, and retailers; the company does not disclose pricing publicly, operating instead through credit accounts and professional relationships. Design Centers offer curated experiences for high-end residential and commercial projects.

In January 2025, Tom Duffy Company was consolidated with Galleher and Trinity Hardwood under the Galleher Duffy brand as part of Artivo Surfaces, a national flooring and tile distribution platform backed by Transom Capital Group that spans 20 states. Virginia Tile was subsequently added to the platform, extending capabilities into tile and stone distribution. Tom Duffy Company now operates as a subsidiary brand within this consolidated entity, retaining localized service while gaining national procurement and logistics scale.
