In today’s world, it can be challenging to find people who are truly passionate about sharing the Gospel in public schools. That’s why we were so thrilled to meet Charlotte Gillett, the owner of Floor Coverings International Bradenton.
When Charlotte talks about flooring, it’s clear that it’s not just about wood, tile, or carpet—it’s about the foundation beneath every family’s life. Her heart for people and her deep love for God shine through everything she does.
Recently, Charlotte partnered with us as a Matching Sponsor for the CEF Manasota Matching Challenge, helping raise over $64,000 to reach children in our community with the Good News of Jesus! Her generosity inspired others to step forward in faith and give as well.
We’re honored to spotlight who Charlotte is and why we’re so grateful to call Floor Coverings International Bradenton a business partner in ministry.
A Foundation Built on Faith
Charlotte grew up locally and now lives in Bradenton with her husband and their three energetic kiddos. After years in the corporate world, she felt God stirring her heart toward something more meaningful. She often says she got tired of “drinking the corporate Kool-Aid” and wanted to build something that reflected her values and faith.
So, she took a leap of faith and opened her own business—one where integrity, excellence, and service could take center stage. Today, she uses her platform to love people well, care deeply, and glorify God through every floor she installs.
Charlotte’s mission is simple yet powerful: to serve, love, care, and give through the means of floor design and installation. She wholeheartedly believes her business belongs to God, and her customers are an extension of her ministry.
“I cherish serving my neighbors—honoring the place we call home, and contributing to its growth,” Charlotte shares. “This business has given me the opportunity to connect with people in our community in meaningful, lasting ways.”
That belief shows up in everything she does—from how she treats her employees to how she handles each project. Her work is more than a service; it’s a testimony of faith in action.
Honesty Over Hype
From the moment you meet Charlotte, you’ll notice that she does business differently. Integrity comes before profit, people come before projects, and faith comes before fame.
As she explains, “You won’t find high-pressure sales tactics here. I’m not a salesperson—I’m a mentor, educator, and steward of quality for every client.”
That mindset sets Floor Coverings International Bradenton apart. Charlotte believes that honesty builds stronger relationships than hype ever could—and her customers feel that difference from the very first conversation.
Her clients quickly learn that Charlotte’s promises aren’t marketing slogans—they’re commitments she keeps. She’s known for her attention to detail, clear communication, and sincere desire to help every family find the perfect flooring that fits both their home and their heart.
How Her Business Works
What makes Floor Coverings International so unique is its Shop-From-Home experience. Instead of asking customers to visit a showroom, Charlotte and her team bring the showroom directly to the customer’s door.
Here’s how it works:
Free In-Home Consultation – Charlotte’s team comes to your home with hundreds of flooring samples, so you can see how each option looks with your lighting, furniture, and décor.
Personalized Design Guidance – You’ll receive one-on-one support from a design consultant who listens to your needs, budget, and style preferences.
Professional Installation – Her team handles every detail, from removing old flooring to installing new materials with craftsmanship and care.
Follow-Up and Satisfaction – They don’t just finish the job and leave—Charlotte ensures every client is 100% satisfied and confident in their investment.
“Each project comes with transparent, detailed pricing and a commitment to follow-through from our initial consultation to your final walkthrough and satisfaction check,” Charlotte explains.
Every step reflects her commitment to service, excellence, and integrity.
Faith in Action
Charlotte continually looks for ways to weave her faith into her work. She prays over homes before projects begin and often encourages homeowners to write Scripture on the foundation before the floors are laid—a beautiful reminder that what we build on faith will stand the test of time.
Her heart for service extends far beyond her business. Whether she’s volunteering, sponsoring ministry efforts, or quietly helping families in need, Charlotte sees every opportunity as a way to reflect God’s love.
Through her example, Charlotte shows that business can be ministry, generosity can be contagious, and excellence can honor God.
