  • Help measure and plan materials for each project
  • Remove existing flooring, prepare subfloors, and fit underlays
  • Install carpets, vinyls, and luxury tiles to industry standards
  • Learn to problem-solve on-site and adapt to live environments

Expect travel, variety, and plenty of practical experience.
