Leaving Corporate World Behind, Engineer Putting Multiple Skills to Use in New Career

Some people are tech people and others like to work with their hands. Kim Williams is one of those rare individuals who has mastered both talents and it’s sure to reap rewards for him as a new franchise owner with Floor Coverings International, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom stocked with thousands of samples from top manufacturers. Opened recently, Kim’s Floor Coverings International serves customers throughout Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek and Chandler, in addition to having a bricks-and-mortar showroom located at 6056 East Baseline Rd., in Mesa.

Williams, a Gilbert resident, was an electrical engineer in the technology industry for 35 years before being laid off from a company where he had spent 28 years. While researching franchise offerings, Floor Coverings International kept appearing as an exciting and viable opportunity. “I decided to take the technology capabilities that I already had and apply them to the flooring industry,” Williams said. “Understanding the technology behind the scenes helped me to move from a desk job to an exciting, new opportunity and the chance to be my own boss.”

Floor Coverings International installers are the best in the market with years of experience, but Williams also has longtime experience in flooring installations. He holds a flooring contractor’s license and is certified and bonded, as well. “It’s become second nature to me and I understand it well,” Williams said. “With Floor Coverings International I wanted to create a legacy I could leave my family to own and operate while I enjoyed retirement and in a few years I intend to do just that!”

Floor Coverings International offers an unmatched selection of flooring products including carpet, hardwood, ceramic, tile and vinyl, as well as specialty products such as bamboo and slate. Expert Design Associates offer free in-home Design Consultations, visiting customers’ homes in a Mobile Flooring Showroom with thousands of flooring choices to assist them in choosing the perfect flooring solution. Floor Coverings International further separates itself from the competition through its customer experience, made up of several simple and integrated steps that exceed customers’ expectations.
