The Functional Floors’ story begins in 2004 when I was working my way through college. I had a full time job, which resulted in taking 1 or 2 classes per semester, and I knew something had to change. I had spent 5 years thus far earning my degree when I decided to leave my full time job and focus on my education. I knew I would need to make money, and I discovered my latent talent for refinishing and installing hardwood floors. I decided to take on the occasional flooring job, giving me a chance to complete my degree and still stay afloat. Before long, the jobs became more than occasional. Every job seemed to create more opportunities. When people saw their new floors, they talked. That talk led to more consultations, and more satisfied customers.
