Hardwood Flooring Business.


Hi,I'm new here my name is Matt and I want to in the future have my own flooring business and I have a couple of questions. Ok first I am a hardwood installer and i have been doing it since i was 16 I am 22 now and recently the guy I was working for has not been getting work so now I am working at home depot in the flooring department. How is the flooring buisness where any of you guy's are?Any of you that own you're own flooring business are you glad you did or do you wish you went to school/diff job?Is there money in it?I no im not going to get rich but i would like to be able make enough so I would not be broke all the time.
Thanks,Matt

Re: Hardwood Flooring Business.


I started out cleaning floors. (Carpet Cleaner)...There was a good need for honest hardworking flooring companies in my area.
Opening your own is smart if you are trying to make money by doing what is best for the customer. Not always the most popular but has grown my business. No, I don't wish I would have done another "College Degree" mine is in business and I am doing just that.

It is hard the first year and you need to stick with basics and work with distributors to get what you NEED to get through it and build up your displays from there. Networking is the key. Shake hands and kiss babies.

I am proud of the ten years I have put in owning my own business.
