Our Heritage Story

 

1 Truck

 

Bill McDaniel and Tom Lacy had been working diligently for one of Richmond’s largest ceiling and flooring companies for almost a decade. Together, they decided to take their knowledge and skills and chase the opportunity to become business owners in the fall of 1969, choosing the name L&M Tile and Floor Covering Company, Inc. That fall, they purchased one pick-up truck and began renting a small building in Highland Springs. 

 

As a new company, they needed a chance to prove what they could do. McDaniel remembers approaching a local home builder at the time, hoping to secure their first customer. The builder told McDaniel that they already had a floor-covering installer they had been using for years. Discouraged, the two continued attempting to get their name out. The builder would later reconnect with McDaniel to give L&M the opportunity as their chosen floor covering installer. This connection helped lay the foundation for the company, leading to several other customers.

They purchased a second truck and hired two helpers, one for McDaniel and one for Lacy. Their former manager warned McDaniel to focus on residential OR commercial but to not attempt both. McDaniel, however, had a bigger vision for L&M than an “either/or” mentality. That vision allowed L&M to secure any type of work available at the time, assisting greatly in their success. 
In 1975, L&M Tile and Floor Covering Company, Inc. was ready for a new facility. This facility was constructed less than half a mile from the original location. In 1982, a new location was opened on Broad Street.4 Store
5 ForkliftL&M Tile and Floor Covering Company, Inc. joined Carpet One, a national cooperative made up of 1,300 independently owned floor covering dealers nationwide. This cooperative gives L&M the ability to combine their purchasing with the other members of the co-op, taking advantage of large-scale buying power. Later on, L&M incorporated the Carpet One name, making the new trading name L&M Carpet One Floor and Home.
2004:  Morris Shelton, a salesman for L&M since 1978 who served in multiple capacities, became President of L&M Carpet One. Renton Arkesteyn, an employee since 1991 who started in the warehouse, delivery, and installations divisions took on Estimating as McDaniel transitioned into retirement. When McDaniel retired, Renton became Vice President of L&M. 6 Morris

Matt Shelton, who had helped fill several roles in the company during college breaks including both warehouse and retail roles, joined the family business full-time in 2010. Today, Matt serves as the Vice President of Sales, a driving force in modernizing the business operations and growing a team of energized and passionate talent. 
L&M has undoubtedly exceeded the expectations set for the company in 1969. The achievements and successes of the company lie, in part, in the shared commitment to excellence by all employees, helping to maintain and grow a customer base of Richmond’s top businesses, homeowners, and home builders. According to McDaniel, success has come mostly from “Just being blessed”. The history of L&M provides great insight into the company’s origin, but what does that mean for the company today?8 Store Front
