Every flooring contractor has racks of attic stock that they have accumulated over the years. Often, it is material that could be useful to someone else. To help connect installers with these materials—and potential labor—Dale and Don Jarmer, owners of Jarmer Flooring in Severn, Maryland, discuss how their experience in the flooring industry led to the creation of their app, Floor Swap. The brothers sat down with Floor Trends to share how they hope this new app can help flooring contractors save time and money.
Dale Jarmer: My dad was a union flooring installer. He worked his way up from installer to superintendent to project manager. With our dad's industry knowledge and our business backgrounds we decided to open up our own commercial shop eight years ago.
