McSwain Carpets, Cincinnati, Ohio

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.”

In the mid 1960s Ron formally joined Ralph’s business, McSwain Hardwood Floor Co. The business thrived as they crafted beautiful hardwood floors at lower prices and treated builders and homeowners with integrity.

On July 18, 1969, the brothers incorporated a brand new division of McSwain Hardwood Floor Co. that would soon become a true family tradition: McSwain Carpets. It was started with a single purpose — to provide outstanding service and quality workmanship in carpeting to the builders and homeowners of Cincinnati.
