What Redi Carpet does

Redi Carpet, founded in 1981 by Bruce Caress in Houston, Texas, is the largest multi-family flooring provider in the United States. The company delivers flooring materials and next-day installation services—carpet, sheet vinyl, vinyl plank, carpet tiles, ceramic tile, hardwood, laminate, and blinds—exclusively to the multi-family rental industry, serving property owners, regional managers, and national property management companies. Operations span 33+ fully-stocked branch locations across 24 states and the District of Columbia, supported by 500+ employees including 200+ field account managers.

The business is anchored by three proprietary technology assets: REDI-Link, a diagramming and laser-measurement program that drives yardage integrity and reduces material waste; the Online Account Services (OAS) portal for ordering, invoicing, budget tracking, and order history; and a Prorate Calculator that helps property managers recover flooring costs from departing residents. The National Accounts Program layers custom pricing, a single point of contact, specification compliance, and consolidated reporting on top of these tools for regional and national portfolio operators. Redi Carpet holds partnerships with major manufacturers—Mohawk, Shaw, and Engineered Floors—securing supply and pricing leverage.

Revenue is generated through professional services (installation) combined with one-time materials sales, supplemented by subscription-style National Accounts contracts. The company has historically grown through greenfield branch openings and bolt-on acquisitions (Seagull Floors/Select Floors 2010, One Source Services 2011, Floormasters 2019, Robert Parker Carpet Sales 2020). In August 2023, HD Supply completed the acquisition of Redi Carpet; the business continues to operate as a separate entity serving multi-family customers nationwide, now backed by HD Supply's MRO distribution resources.

Direct peers

• Empire Today: Empire Today is one of the largest single-source flooring installation providers in the US, offering carpet, hardwood, tile, and vinyl with next-day or scheduled installation. Closely comparable to Redi Carpet's national installation-led business model and emphasis on speed, though Empire Today is more weighted to single-family residential versus multi-family.
• Carpet One Floor & Home: Carpet One Floor & Home is a flooring retail cooperative with over 1,000 independently owned and operated stores across North America offering carpet, hardwood, vinyl, tile, and installation services. Comparable to Redi Carpet in product breadth and installation delivery, though operating via a franchise model rather than corporate-owned branches.
• Abbey Carpet & Floor: Abbey Carpet & Floor is a member-owned flooring retail cooperative with showrooms offering carpet, hardwood, tile, vinyl, and installation services. Comparable to Redi Carpet's combination of product sales and installation delivery, though focused on retail consumers rather than the B2B multi-family vertical.
• LL Flooring: LL Flooring (formerly Lumber Liquidators) is a national specialty retailer of hardwood, vinyl, laminate, and tile flooring with professional installation services. Comparable to Redi Carpet in combining flooring retail with installation delivery, though focused on single-family homeowners rather than the multi-family vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Floor & Decor: Floor & Decor is a large specialty retailer of flooring and installation accessories operating over 200 warehouse-format stores across the US. While not a direct installer, it competes for flooring materials purchases and serves many of the same property management and contractor buyers as Redi Carpet.
• Home Depot: Home Depot is the largest US home improvement retailer offering flooring products and connecting customers to installation services through its Pro and Installer Services programs. Competes with Redi Carpet in both flooring materials (especially for property managers and contractors) and in installation services for residential projects.
• Lowe's: Lowe's is a major US home improvement retailer offering flooring, installation services, and Pro services targeted at property managers and contractors. Comparable overlap with Redi Carpet's product and service offering, though Lowe's serves a much broader customer base including DIY and single-family homeowners.
• Mohawk Industries: Mohawk Industries is the largest flooring manufacturer in the world, producing carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl products. Both a Redi Carpet supplier (partnership program) and adjacent competitor in vertical integration of manufacturing and distribution through Mohawk's commercial and builder channels.
• Shaw Industries: Shaw Industries is one of the largest US flooring manufacturers, offering carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile, stone, and resilient products. Functions as a Redi Carpet partner for product supply while also selling direct to multifamily and builder markets, creating partial overlap with Redi Carpet's commercial channels.

Others

• Engineered Floors: Engineered Floors is a major US carpet manufacturer focused on residential and commercial multi-family carpet solutions. Functions primarily as a Redi Carpet supply partner but also competes in the multi-family segment directly via builder and property manager channels.
