Timeline

Since its establishment in 1977, Carpet King Carpet One has proudly served Marion, maintaining its steadfast presence in the community over the decades. While the years have passed, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering.

Family-Owned Marion Flooring Company

In 1977, Shirlene and Raymond Houdeshell laid the foundation for our business with passion and dedication. Their sons Brett and Brad were integral parts of the journey, deeply immersed in every aspect of the operation from a young age. Growing up within the business, they gained valuable hands-on experience, working in the store and warehouse, selling flooring, mastering installations, and assuming ever-expanding responsibilities. Their dedication and hard work paved the way for their eventual transition into management roles, where they further honed their skills and leadership abilities. Today, Brett and Brad proudly carry on the legacy as owners, continuing to uphold the values of integrity, excellence, and customer satisfaction instilled by their parents over four decades ago.

With the addition of Brett’s son Tyler in the installation field and Brad's son, Blake, to the store's leadership, Carpet King Carpet One proudly embraces a three-generation legacy. The Houdeshell family views their success as synonymous with community success, understanding that their roots are deeply intertwined with Marion. As a family-owned business, Carpet King Carpet One maintains a unique pulse on the community, fostering a genuine connection with its residents. Unlike larger corporations where decisions may be dictated from afar, Carpet King Carpet One prioritizes its customers' needs, offering personalized assistance in selecting the perfect flooring solutions for their homes or businesses.
