HARD SURFACES MARKET POTENTIAL


Sales and installations of hard surfaces including Marble, Granite, Travertine, Limestone, Ceramic and all other types of natural stone and tile has grown at an astounding rate in the past five years. In terms of U.S. natural stone consumption, alone, by square foot (volume), the Stone Reports' team determined that over 2 Billion square feet of Natural Stone was sold from 2005-2007. Add to that the daunting figure of 3.21 billion square feet of ceramic tile that was sold in 2004 alone. Those surfaces all need protection and maintenance. When you realize that those numbers don't even begin to touch the dozens, potentially hundreds of billions of square feet that were installed in the previous decades you begin to realize the enormous demand for these highly specialized services.

This Creates A SERIOUS PROBLEM in the marketplace...
There is an alarming deficiency in qualified, competent and reputable craftsmen to keep up with the demand for protection, maintenance and restoration of these hard surfaces. This creates a fantastic business opportunity for those who acknowledge the obvious trends in today's flooring market.

 

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY


The opportunities in the Natural Stone and Tile Restoration business are limitless and the lack of qualified craftsmen creates a very lucrative BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY with tremendous growth potential.In this niche market which is currently experiencing vertical growth, it is the few visionaries who see this opportunity that will reap the tremendous rewards as this industry continues to grow.There has never been a better time to solidify your company as the "GO TO" Tile and Stone Restoration expert in your area. There are literally billions of square feet of tile and stone floors, showers, counter tops and vertical surfaces in desperate need of restoration and/or maintenance. As a tile and stone restoration specialist, you'll have the ability to save homeowners and businesses the expense and hassle of costly removal and reinstallation of these surfaces.
