Before Silicone Valley earned its moniker for hosting and developing the country’s technology sector, Don Gupton was as attentive to details in his flooring installations as those young tech start-ups were in building their companies. When he took his business to the next level and opened Precision Flooring in San Jose, Calif., Gupton moved beyond installations to become a full service flooring shop.
Thirty years later, the company has grown with the tech sector to become a pillar in its community with annual sales well into seven figures and growth of over 20% just in the last year. Business has been so good following the recession, Precision Flooring has been able to add 10 staff members in the same time and it recently opened its first satellite location two hours away in Sacramento.
