Meet the Team

Brandy Marsh

CEO of Area Floors

“Lifestyle Strategist”  Brandy always looks to create a space that screams your name and is functional for your lifestyle.

The founder of The Carpet Place recognized early on that employee Brandy Marsh would make a great business owner. After years working for The Carpet Place’s previous owner John Rollin, who founded the company in 1967, Brandy bought the company and its two stores in 2003, and continued to retain John as a consultant and mentor. When John died suddenly of a heart attack in the summer of 2004, Brandy realized that it was now all up to her to make the critical decisions. She quickly developed a passion for being a business owner, hiring and motivating employees and renamed the company Area Floors expanding the selection of products from a carpet store to a full flooring and countertop showroom.

I started with Area Floors, then known as The Carpet Place, over fourteen years ago. Previously I worked at Trim Tex, which is now called T and A Supply, for thirteen years, so I have been in this industry quite a while. I like the technical and installation side of the business as much as I love the design end. I gained a lot of hands on experience when my contractor husband and I remodeled our home. My roll at Area Floors as the Accounts Manager allows me to continue to make Area Floors service and customer experience the best it can be.

 I have been with Area Floors for a little over 4 years now. I really enjoy working in this industry and helping others with there home design. I have learned so many things about the use of different materials and how to coordinate style with budgeting.  It has been a great experience, I like working with everyone that comes in to Area Floors and enjoy the atmosphere here.

I have worked in a number of fields within the construction industry, although I really enjoy working with flooring and helping home owners put together there own homes. I feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to have a career in such a dynamic and ever changing industry. I enjoy working with the products we sell as well as learning about them from the reps and my co-workers.  It is very rewarding putting together colors, textures and surfaces for customers that are going to use my ideas in their homes.  I want them to be proud of the work we’ve done together.
