C.S. Brown: The Carolinas Most Trusted Flooring Company

Setting the Standard in Tile and Stone Since 1982

For over four decades, C.S. Brown has been a trusted name in high-end tile and stone installation, built on craftsmanship, integrity, and long-standing relationships. Founded in 1982 by Chris Brown, the company has earned a reputation for excellence among custom homebuilders, architects, and commercial contractors throughout Charlotte, NC, and Charleston, SC.

C.S. Brown began with a simple commitment: do the right thing, do it well, and stand behind it. That principle still guides us today.

Built on Legacy, Driven by People

In 2013, Chris’s son, Ben Brown, stepped into a leadership role and continued to expand the company’s reach while preserving the hands-on, relationship-driven culture it was built on.

In February 2025, industry veteran Jay Schwartz became the company’s majority shareholder, bringing strategic growth experience and fresh perspective. Ben Brown remains a key shareholder and oversees daily operations, ensuring continuity in quality, culture, and client experience.
