OUR HISTORY

Brothers Working Together…

The beginning of the McSwain Carpets story is found in the spirit of cooperation between two brothers. Since the age of twelve, Ron McSwain worked at his older brother Ralph’s flooring company, eventually paying for his college education by installing hardwood for Ralph’s customers. Both of them learned their skills from their father and grandfather, who operated small hardwood flooring businesses from their homes. One of the principles passed to them by their elders was to conduct business with “service you can trust.”

On July 18, 1968, McSwain Carpets was incorporated. It was started with a single purpose—to provide outstanding service and quality workmanship in carpeting to the builders and homeowners of Cincinnati.

The Business Expands…

The new business grew rapidly, doubling in size every three years. In 1978, McSwain expanded to service the Northern Kentucky customer.

In 1980, McSwain Carpets received “The Flooring Award,” one of the highest honors in the floor covering industry. McSwain Carpets opened its first Dayton store in 1986 and watched as an unwavering zeal for customer service created a winning reputation.

In 1988, Ron received the Chamber of Commerce’s “Small Business Person of the Year” award and the company won the “Crescendo Award,” an award given to the 50 fastest growing companies in Cincinnati.

Remembering Our Origins…

With deep roots in our community, we continue to honor Ron McSwain’s tireless work ethic, his dedication to perfection, and his belief in the importance of supporting those in need in our community.

More than 50 years after our first store opened, McSwain Carpets & Floors is still very much a family business. Jason McSwain, President, upholds the tradition of putting customer service first.

There are a lot of people to thank for our successes—most importantly, our customers. We are grateful to them for allowing us to help make their home decorating dreams come true. We work hard to maintain our high standards and offer our customers the best possible product.

McSwain has won the exclusive Gold Standard Award for excellence in retailing from the World Floor Covering Association. This national award showcases our commitment to exceed customer expectations and provide an excellent level of service in every step of the flooring process. We are humbled knowing we can always improve, which is what we commit to daily.
