and when Mowles started his business, that man was a main point of contact in selling wood oors. The man also served as an adviser to Mowles, who eventually branched out into other kinds of home improve- ment to include carpeting, countertops, tile, cabinets, interior and exterior painting, plumbing, and electrical. “Basically, we do interior remodeling from start to nish,” he said. Most of his work—about 95%, he said—is conducted in existing homes. He also conducts some work in the business sector in addition to residential.

He has owned the business for 14 years this August. He pre- viously was in the country club business for 14 years, and during that time he began his family. In the hospitality industry, his work schedule was tied to the leisure of others, so he got out of managing country clubs to spend more time with his family. “I knew about construction and ooring enough to advise on how to install and the product to buy,” he said.
