Floor Covering Installers

Advancement Prospects

Installers who work for large floor-laying firms may be promoted to supervisor positions. Installers who are familiar with the business and can communicate effectively can move into sales jobs with retailers of flooring products. They could also become cost estimators—workers who measure floors, compute areas, and figure costs using their knowledge of the materials and labor required for various kinds of installations.

With experience and a client base, many installers decide to go into business for themselves as independent subcontractors.
