We like money.
We like to earn it. We like to spend it. We like having a skill that keeps us in it.
So why on earth would we teach someone else how to set tile themselves? That is crazy.
We receive calls for free estimates for many different reasons. Homeowners that have floors damaged due to flood, an updated kitchen backsplash or just a simple flooring remodeling project have our phones ringing on a daily basis. These are all run of the mill contracts for us.
The most disheartening projects are the ones' attempted by novices or unskilled handymen.
Walking into a bathroom with tile worth over a thousand dollars popping off because of some installation detail missed during the process. There are so, SO many of those little details. Unfortunately, new tile must be purchased and an installation pro (us) needs to come in and correct all of the issues. Money is just pouring out of their house.
Ugh...horrible.
So, we started thinking. People are going to attempt, handymen are going to attempt and they are both going to fail without proper training. I am not talking about some employee at Home Depot teaching you tips on a handout. I am talking about a professional tile installer with ten years in both the commercial and residential flooring industry.
A DIY Workshop for Career Night |
We are taking you BIG TIME!!!
We will be hosting seminars on three important topics.
- Rip-Out & Prep

Our classes will teach you proper tools, techniques and even recommended products. We will also be offering in home consultations for those of you needing just a little bit more help. It's okay. We just want to make sure that the investment you make in time and materials equals the finished product you've been dreaming of.

Question time. Would you prefer three separate classes with a length of an hour and a half...
OR
One class with a length of 3-4 hours?
Hmmm...What do you think?
