I did research,  typed inspection reports, and assisted with inspections. I have attended various symposiums, seminars, and classes taught by various inspectors, instructors, and mill representatives for all types of flooring since the mid-1980s, including  “TISE” “Surfaces,” the international flooring show held in Las Vegas, NV, several times over the last 25 plus years.  Most recently, I have attended seminars put on by the Flooring Guild in Dalton, GA, Shaw Industries also in Dalton and Elgin, Il. and Mohawk Industries in Muskogee, OK, and Danville, VA.

I started as an office manager, working in the cleaning plant washing wool rugs and entry mats in addition to upholstery (decorator fabrics) draperies, decorator wallpaper, wall hangings, and antique furniture.  I spent time cleaning in residential and commercial locations also.

In 1985 I took over the operations of the company and during the last 15 years, have expanded the services to include hardwood, stone/tile cleaning, and carpet restretch and repairs.
