Next-Gen Flooring

The idea is to install all types of flooring including Carpet, LVT, VCT, and Vinyl in a commercial setting.
My name is Jose Meza, a 26-year-old man working in the world of trades. I began installing carpet, vinyl, and many other types of flooring during my early years in high school. After graduating high school, I obtained my Associate of Business from GRCC, which helped me land a job as an operations assistant for an industrial sewing company. In late 2018 I left my job and decided to go back to flooring, as I had the dream of someday becoming my own boss. I have been working since then for S&S Carpet Co.

About this idea
The big idea is to eventually provide all of the materials, and the installation as well as to develop an app that will allow them to get a glimpse of how the material will look in the desired area.
Impact
Being able to provide the material as well as the installation for the customer can save them time making the process as easy as possible for both parties.
What I'll do with $5,000
Since I will be working in the trades industry, the safety and well-being of the employees including myself will be one of my top priorities before making an official launch for my idea. That is why about $2,000 of the funds will go directly towards acquiring insurance that can provide top coverage for the employees. I will be using another $2,000 to purchase tools such as knives, fans, a power stretcher, and a floor sander as well as other tools needed to do the job. The remaining funds will be used to purchase high-visibility t-shirts for the employees as it is required by most contractors.

I’m and artist and you are too!
My goal is for everyone to be proud to say, "I'm An Artist". That said, I would like to expand the outreach of my studio and its message by supporting people from all walks of life, to have access to art supplies and encouragement, with the goal of promoting mental well-being.
