Skills that open doors
Hardwood: solid, engineered and site-finished
Skilled work that takes years to do well. Sanding and finishing on site is its own specialty.
Commercial sheet vinyl and rubber
Hospitals, schools and labs need heat-welded seams. Fewer people can do it well.
Stairs and custom work
Stair treads, borders and inlays are slow, careful work that not every installer takes on.
Manufacturer training
Big flooring brands run short courses. Manufacturers set strict instructions for laying their products, and the warranty depends on following them.
