Home / Contractor Consulting
For contractors, not homeowners

Built a flooring business from scratch. Happy to help you do the same.

One-on-one consulting for contractors starting a flooring or coatings business, or trying to break into commercial, industrial, and government work. No courses, no upsells — just a real conversation about your situation.

Who this is for

If any of this sounds like you.

We work with contractors anywhere — not just the Mountain West. Wherever you're located, if you're serious about the trade, we're happy to talk.

Just getting started

You know how to apply a coating but need help turning that into an actual business — pricing, equipment, insurance, and where to find your first jobs.

Stuck doing residential only

You're comfortable with garage floors but don't know how to price, spec, or bid commercial and industrial jobs — or how to get in front of the people who hire for them.

Trying to break into government work

Prequalification, spec sections, documentation, bonding — the government/industrial world has its own rules. We've been inside it for years.

Growing but disorganized

Work is coming in but the business side — bidding process, product selection, crew and equipment — hasn't caught up. Let's get it dialed in.

What we'll work through

Whatever's actually holding you back.

Every session is scoped to what you need — these are the topics that come up most.

Business fundamentals
Pricing & bidding your jobs

How to price a job so you're actually profitable — labor, materials, overhead, and margin, not just a gut-feel number.

EstimatingMargins
Technical
Product & system selection

How to match the right primer, topcoat, and mil thickness to the actual traffic and exposure the floor will see — and why guessing wrong is expensive.

SpecificationPrep standards
Growth
Government & commercial contracting

Prequalification, spec-writing, bonding basics, and how to get your name in front of the people who actually award these jobs.

BiddingDocumentation
Operations
Equipment & crew setup

What to actually buy first, what to rent, and how to structure a crew when you're too big for one person and too small for a foreman.

ToolingStaffing
Risk
Safety & liability basics

Insurance, licensing, and the safety practices that keep a job site — and your business — out of trouble.

Why we're willing to help people who could become competitors

There's more flooring and coatings work out there than any one crew can handle, and a well-run trade is good for everyone in it — including us. We'd rather see more contractors doing quality work with proper prep than watch the industry get a bad name from corners cut. If you're serious about doing this right, we're glad to help, wherever you're located.
