With the slowdown in resilient flooring work, many flooring contractors are reaching out for different types of flooring to install. The new residential contractor, having been hit especially hard, has moved into new and different aspects of floor covering such as main street commercial work and specialty floor coverings.
This type of move requires a completely different set of standards compared to new residential work. What is even worse is the fact that some of the new home general contractors are doing the same thing and are woefully underprepared. Case in point: a medical clinic built by a new custom home contractor with flooring installed by a new home flooring contractor.
