Surfaces Construction Group, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, hosted a two-day Certified Flooring Installers (CFI) certification for hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) on November 2-3. Participants sat through classroom instruction and hands-on demonstrations, covering the importance of floor covering industry standards.
Many of the participants represented Surfaces Construction Group; however, Mario Leon traveled 10 hours from Aruba to take the course. Alfonso Campechano, a class participant and native Spanish speaker, and his wife Kim Montoya, a Spanish interpreter, just recently launched their own installation company. A large portion of the class participants were Spanish speakers so Montoya's skills were beneficial to the entire class, including the instructors.
