angry customer complaining about how bad their
floors look and then blame you or the product you
use for it.
Lindy walks us through a simple guide on how to
teach your customers to protect their own floors and
how to protect yourself from liability...

Removing sealers is one of the
hardest things to do
in the business, most of us dread getting involved in
it, but unfortunately it is part of doing business
and sooner or later you will have to do it. We did
some research among contractors and we got a few
good tips on how to remove sealers and which
commercial products work best.

Carlos Delgado
I met Carlos at our store in
Miami, he walked in
looking for something new to use on a floor he was
creating for a customer, he was familiar with dyes
so I gave him some samples to test not thinking much
of it. When he came back and showed my a picture of
what he did, it nearly blew my mind, this guy is
something special so I'll just let the pictures do
the talking...
