INSTALL (International Standards and Training Alliance) issued what it called a “call to arms” to contractor members at its three-day 2015 Floorcovering Leadership Conference, which carried the theme of “The Future in Flooring” at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) International Training Center in Las Vegas.
A few weeks after Fuse Alliance announced its year-long transition to new leadership was complete a record number of members and suppliers came to the commercial buying group’s annual meeting where they were put on the “Launch Pad” and exposed to a new vision designed to make them the “go-to” network.
Paul G. White Interior Solutions of Portland, Maine, is the leading flooring contracting business in that market with annual revenues of $23 million and a workforce of 100.
Blistering floor finishes, dark spots, bubbling, cupping, delamination, mold, odor, swollen joints, efflorescence, repairs, remediation and litigation—these are the terms that create nightmares for parties that are involved in a moisture related floor covering matter.
Almost every residential installer has heard the phrase uttered from a surprised customer at five minutes after five o’clock, something like “That is not what I picked,” or “My floor doesn’t look anything like the sample board.”
