Who We Are

Brannon Fain brings with him a wide variety of experience specifically related to the flooring and construction industry. He has also been involved in building and managing multiple businesses in real estate construction, both new, and remodeling, since 1995.

Brannon completed his undergraduate work at Kennesaw State University in 1997, where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus on Entrepreneurship.

Brannon also attended classes at Harvard University & MIT for a Senior Executives Negotiations class while employed by The Dixie Group (Nations 4th largest flooring manufacturer at the time). He has taken advanced real estate classes from some of the most successful real estate investors in the nation such as: Carlton Sheets, Ron Legrand, Ed Garcia, Terry Vaughn, William Bronchick, John Adams, Dyches Boddiford, and Joe Kaiser. In addition, he was his own general contractor for all construction projects he was involved in.

Brannon was the National Sales Manager for Metro Mills. He was in charge of launching Metro Mills in January of 2000 from the ground up. This business unit, which was a division of The Dixie Group, grew to nearly $30 million in sales in three years under the management of Mr. Fain. Metro Mills was the only dedicated floor covering program to the multi-family housing industry in the U.S.

In 2009, Brannon was recruited as an equity partner by one of the top 10 largest flooring contractors in the U.S., to launch their “Commercial Division.” This division grew from no sales, to over $14 million in sales since January 2010 as a result of Brannon’s efforts. That contracting company had never managed any projects outside of the State of Georgia, but as a result of infrastructure Mr. Fain put in place, they are currently managing projects Nationwide. Brannon has built a loyal group of flooring subcontractors to perform labor where ever the project may be located. Mr. Fain also has an extensive list of General Contractors across the Nation for commercial projects.  Most recently, in 2013, Brannon separated from them to create Contract Flooring Solutions (CFS). Under the management of Mr. Fain, CFS will reach $20 million in annual sales by 2018.

Simultaneously while building businesses, Brannon has invested in real estate. For the past 23 years he has managed hundreds of rental homes, town homes, rehabs, new construction projects and joint venture commercial projects, most of which he owned or was in partnerships with other investors.

Brannon was interviewed and praised for his help in the contribution of information for the National best seller “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor” by Gary Keller, founder of Keller Realty. You can also find a success story written by Brannon on www.creonline.com where he was successful in early 2003 setting up a $1,000,000 working line of credit with a local bank that was used to buy investment real estate. This was a very large accomplishment at that time.

To date, Brannon has authored three books and published them himself. The first one is titled “Show Me the Money.” For three years he sold this book through performing seminars teaching multiple techniques of investing in real estate successfully. The second one is titled “Yes, Approved: The Insider’s Guide to Financing Real Estate Using Local Banks.” This book and his third book titled: “17 Creative Ways to Finance Your Next Real Estate Investing Deal” were marketed on www.EnlightenedWealthMedia.com.

Brannon Fain resides in North GA with his wife Nikki and their children Madeline,  Jackson, and Reilly.

In the floor covering industry since 2005, Brian Hendrix has garnered a wealth of knowledge in flooring operations, bid-to-completion over the years. From multi-family residential to commercial/retail, Brian has worked on a wide variety of projects across the US.

A Georgia native, Brian graduated with a Business Management degree from LaGrange College in 2005 before moving back to the metro-Atlanta area to begin his professional career in the industry. Shortly after learning how to estimate hardcopy prints with a pencil and scale the industry moved to digital estimating software where his career took off. While field-managing a multitude of projects throughout the year, Brian continued to focus on improving his estimating skills. This drive for accuracy and thorough takeoffs eventually moved him from a Project Management position to Chief Estimator over a team of in-house estimators.

Tasked with developing a uniform system of estimating and bidding work, Brian focused on streamlining the front-end processes of the industry to alleviate the headaches of the production teams. His success in these areas landed him a VP of Estimating role at his previous company where he managed a pool of estimators while continuing to bid over $30 million in work annually.

In 2022 Brian teamed up with commercial powerhouse, Contract Flooring Solutions as their Chief Operations Officer to assist in their organization’s continued growth.

Brian resides in Marietta, GA with his wife, Megan and their 2 boys Atticus and Walter.

Born and raised in Chino, CA, Curtis Sproul started in General Construction at the age of 18. While honing his skills in both new construction and remodeling, he began to focus his talents on flooring installation in 2010.

Over eight years in flooring installation, the wear & tear began to take its toll and Curtis made a career change.  From his shared position as lead installer, he switched gears and moved over to a non-profit where he ran an 8-man crew as a Site Supervisor on the California Highways. Excelling in this role he was quickly promoted to being in charge of 14 total crews in all.

In September of 2021 the opportunity arose for Curtis to get back into the construction industry. He joined the Contract Flooring Solutions team and made a cross-country move to Dalton, GA the flooring capital of the world.
