- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Training that stands out and provided highly valuable and unique experience would be the years between 2002 - 2009. Hired by a general contractor to join one of his two traveling hotel renovation crews nationwide. In those first 7 years we went from hotel to hotel visiting more states than I could list, working our way up n down the east coast from Pensacola fl. So. carolina Massachusetts, New York new Hampshire , main. Another time working our way along the southern border, after Flagstaff Phoenix, Tucson, , Albuquerque, & Santa Fe , Yuma, Sierra vista, Las cruces, fort Stockton, Austin, corpus Christi, so. Padre island. To name a couple. The owner grew up painting for his father a well known paint contractor with excellent crew. My boss , the man, myth, the legend, is beyond reach of your normal kick butt veteran painters, he has shown a whole new level to those lucky enough to see. He took the hotel renovation to an unheard of pace, with on average 12 men crew, average scope include all new flooring , every fixture, furniture , granite vanity, texture , paint , basically gut the room to the bone. Most the tubs and showers stayed that was it. We would be on a 10 room per day pace , demo 10 and turn 10 back every day, with rooms being on a 3 day turn around. The first week to sort the dozen or so packed shipping containers and work all the problems out on 20 rooms , always succeeded to 10 room per day before end of 1st week, blowing through a average 100-125 room hotel in about 15 days is remarkable as well painting exterior often. I can't explain how valuable those years were to learn intimately this framework structure format underlying complete controlled chaos, understanding the many methods in doing any part of all the trades, the preferred, efficient, th order and absolute needs where each tradesmans work overlapped into the next, and then every conceivable alternate method needed to keep everything from grinding to a halt. I oversaw the the f.f.& e as was the position that kept constant track of each room and made sure they advanced despite every problem clinging on to hold the rooms back from each phase, you can't skip a room a step and problems had to be foreseen if possible or handled like a boss without question and that means knowing how to do, solve, or fix on the spot . I can frame and cut, install 10 granite vanities including undermount the bowl , caulk and silicone in an 8 hour day no problem, I can cut and roll rooms faster than you can spray , drops or not, accent walls , ceiling cut lines so crispy you'd think were done by laser. I could go on but I feel I past that point hours ago. I spent years flipping homes , the investors gave the projects to me and I used my own guys as needed to do the work. So from counters cabinets tubs, electric. Every and all thata what I do. More recent years I'm remodeling hotels for a couple clients who I've grown with about 4.5 years now I have been doing conversions lately currently over 100 bathrooms full complete gut and remodel, I take side jobs locally, but not often, unless requested by previous customer. Occasionally take quick thumbtack leads that can be done within 1,2 or 3 days, mostly I just like to keep my eye on all the leads , as I enjoy seeing all the different requests ppl have , dont know why.. therefore my profile shows little recent activity. I have good results finding and hiring subs on this site, when I've been in a bind, the pros have worked out every single time. 😉
