A&D Carpet and Hardwoods + A&D Properties

Faces of Success

Flooring, home décor, accent furniture — for more than 40 years, the community has trusted A&D Carpet and Hardwoods with their homes.

The award-winning family business was founded by Angela and David Key and includes daughters Becky Critell, operations manager, and Davina Key-Strickland, sales/marketing manager and decorator.

In 2021, the family added A&D Properties, a Douglas Lane Real Estate Group, which assists clients buying or selling a home. The inspiration for the company came after Becky became an empty nester in 2016 and began buying and flipping houses.

Becky earned her real estate license and formed A&D Properties with Angela in 2019. She is a licensed Realtor in the local area in Georgia and South Carolina and part of the Savanah and Tybee Island Multiple Listing Service.

The family’s dedication to customer service is evident in everything they do. In addition to being named Best Flooring Company for 11 years, the company has been awarded a BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics.
