The original store, opened in 2001. Five more came after it.

Bryan is where DesignCo started. Keith and Sherri Richbourg bought a local carpet store here in 2001 and turned it into a flooring showroom, and the six-location company that followed grew out of this one store. Twenty-five years later, the Bryan showroom still carries flooring, countertops, lighting, and finish selections, backed by the same in-house fabrication and field supervision as the rest.

Flooring for Bryan and Brazos Valley Homes

The right floor depends less on what looks good in the showroom and more on what happens in the room. Here is what we carry and where each one earns its place.
Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring

A practical middle ground when you want the look of wood in a room that takes abuse. We'll compare wear layers and finishes so the floor matches the traffic instead of the photograph you liked.
Tile Flooring

Tile Flooring

Showers, laundry rooms, entries, and back doors that see a lot of coming and going. Tile takes water and traffic without complaint, and the layout options give a small bathroom more personality than paint ever will.
Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood Flooring

Wood still sets the tone in a formal room better than anything else. We'll walk you through species, hardness, and finish, and tell you honestly where hardwood makes sense in your house and where it does not.
Luxury Vinyl and Vinyl

Luxury Vinyl and Vinyl

Brazos Valley humidity is hard on some floors and irrelevant to this one. Luxury vinyl plank gives you a wood look in kitchens, baths, and entries without the worry that comes with moisture and heavy traffic.
Carpet and Carpet Tile

Carpet and Carpet Tile

Carpet is where this store started, and it is still the right answer for bedrooms, media rooms, and any upstairs where you would rather not hear footsteps. Compare textures, colors, and stain performance before you decide.

Countertops at the Bryan Showroom

Countertop selection in Bryan happens with a designer and our 4K digital-viewing experience. You compare colors, patterns, and materials with someone who knows how each one behaves day to day, and our own team fabricates and installs what you choose.
Granite

Granite

Natural stone with color and movement that changes from slab to slab. Granite takes heat well and suits households that cook most nights. We'll cover sealing, since the requirement depends on the specific stone you choose.
Quartz

Quartz

Engineered quartz is the low-maintenance option. Nonporous, consistent from one end of the run to the other, and no sealing on your to-do list. Keep hot pans off it, and it will hold up for years.
Quartzite

Quartzite

Different material from quartz, despite the name. Quartzite is natural stone, harder than most granite, and dramatic in the right kitchen. Variation is significant slab to slab, and it typically needs periodic sealing to stay protected.
Marble

Marble

Beautiful and honest about aging. Marble etches from acids and can stain, which some homeowners accept as character and others regret. We'll tell you which camp you are likely in before you commit to a full kitchen.

Why Bryan Homeowners Choose DesignCo

Plenty of stores in Bryan will sell you a floor. Fewer have been doing it in Bryan since 2001, or send someone from their own company to check the job while it is still fixable.

  • This is the original store. DesignCo opened in Bryan in 2001, and the five locations that came after were built on what worked here.
  • The full catalog, guided. Bryan brings the convenience of online shopping to its showroom with digital 4K images of every stone in its inventory, making countertop selection comfortable, fast and convenient.  Countertop selection happens with a designer and our complete material catalog, so nothing gets chosen from a thumbnail alone.
  • Countertops cut by DesignCo. Fabrication happens at our own Texas facilities under Natural Stone Institute accredited processes, and our countertop team handles the install.
  • A dedicated estimating team. They measure your home and catch the conditions that turn into change orders later.
  • Field supervision, not a handoff. DesignCo managers check the job at start, inspection, and final approval.
  • Flooring and countertops from one team. One store, one order, whether you are updating a bedroom or finishing a new build.

Stop in, tell us what room started this, and we'll help you narrow it down before the free in-home measure goes on the calendar.

Bryan and the Brazos Valley

Bryan has housing stock from nearly every era, and each one brings its own surprises once the old floor comes up. What works in a 1940s house near downtown is not what works in a 2019 build off Highway 21.

Remodels in Established Bryan Neighborhoods

Older homes here often have uneven subfloors, layered materials, and kitchens laid out for a different decade. We measure before we quote so the conditions show up in the scope instead of in a change order halfway through.

New Builds and Rental Properties Across the Brazos Valley

Growth toward College Station keeps builders working, and owners of rental property near campus need floors that survive turnover. We help both choose for the actual use, then handle fabrication and supervised installation.

Flooring and Countertop Questions From Bryan Homeowners

What is the first step if all I know is that I want new floors?

Come tell us the room and how you use it. We'll narrow the material options with you, then our estimating team performs a free measure of your space and prepares an accurate scope before you commit to anything.

Who actually installs the flooring?

Professional installers do the work, and DesignCo field managers supervise the job at start, inspection, and final approval. Countertops are installed by our own countertop crew rather than a subcontractor.

Do I have to buy flooring and countertops together?

No. Plenty of customers come in for one room and one product. Having both available from the same team simply means you can add the other later without starting a new relationship with a new company.

Do you serve College Station and the rest of the Brazos Valley?

Yes. The Bryan showroom serves Bryan, College Station, and the surrounding Brazos Valley communities for flooring, countertops, and finish selections, including new construction and remodels.

Which flooring holds up best in a rental property near campus?

Luxury vinyl plank and tile usually make the most sense for turnover, since both handle moisture and heavy traffic and clean up quickly between tenants. We'll compare specific products against your unit count and budget cycle.

How long has DesignCo been in Bryan?

Since 2001, Bryan is the founding location, purchased as a local carpet store and rebuilt into a flooring showroom. Everything the company added after that, including countertop fabrication in 2009, started from this store.

Can I pick out a countertop slab at the Bryan showroom?

Yes. Shop our entire slab inventory online alongside a design consultant in our downtown Bryan showroom.  Our design team walks you through the full catalog and our digital slab tools including a room visualizer, to narrow color, pattern, and material before fabrication.
