Raising the Bar - Paul Stuart - Go Carrera/Stuart and Associates
With over 3 billion dollars of failures annually in the flooring industry alone, the flooring tile and stone industry could stand a face lift. From the image of contractors and the level of respect they get, to the technical skills they display, and how their companies are run. The bar is easily stepped over these days by just showing up on time and doing what you say you will do, when you say you will do it. This doesn’t even yet include doing it right, sadly. Not a good look or great summary. We have to do better.
Paul Stuart is a cofounder of Go Carrera and owner of Stuart and Associates Commercial Flooring. With a vast experience from hand skills to business skills, Paul has been able to turn Stuart and Associates into a premier commercial contractor in the midwest. In order to continue competing at a top level and to help other businesses in the industry he created Go Carrera to assist in companies finding quality help that has the skills to pay the bills without you coming out of pocket for a failure.
Listen in as we discuss the state of the industry from our vantage points and where we think the needle can really get moved for companies looking to stand out and make a name for themselves.
