We must always consider the importance of prepping the substrate for the installation of carpet tiles – it’s just good marketing!

Times are very challenging in today’s economy.  Take advantage of these slow periods to evaluate your business strategy and what steps can be taken to improve your business and installation skills.

In the beginning of my career as a floor covering installer, when we received a glue-down installation from a retailer, it was a rubber-back printed pattern for a kitchen, restroom or family room.  We carried solvent-based adhesive, one trowel size and solvent-based seam sealer.  We had little or no flash time; we glued and dropped after we had patterned everything out we were working with vinyl.
