Introducing the PRO Files Podcast
Presented by LL Flooring
00:08
Hi, I'm Tom Kraeutler, and welcome to the PRO File's Podcast presented by LL Flooring. This podcast is about professional contractors. If you're a pro contractor, a remodeler or a custom builder. This is designed to provide tips, ideas and resources to help improve the success of your business.
For us, it's all about pros, teaching pros, sharing strategies, sharing solutions that are going to save time, increase profit and improve your customer's satisfaction.

Now, I've been a pro contractor, a custom builder, a remodeler and a home inspector for over 20 years. Now I've experienced the satisfaction of a job well done that results in customer referrals and go on for years. But I've also experienced those difficult moments when the job's slowed down, the product doesn't arrive on time, or customers ask for changes at the least opportune moment, or the dozens of other ways that reduce productivity and can impact your success as a contractor remodeler or a builder.

And that's why I hope to profile contractors on the show who are veterans and those who are willing to share tips and tricks and ideas that are specific and actionable. And that will result in helping make you more successful in your business.

Now, we don't know it all, but we know that you do. Collectively, we're a community of builders, renovators or remodelers or contractors that are immersed in our industries every single day. You may be solely focused on flooring or take on projects from footings to roofs, but one thing I've learned about this career is that it can be very isolated, in the sense that we don't get to talk to other pros about what we do and how we do it. I mean, by the very nature of our business, we're focusing on our own jobs. We're learning from our own mistakes, and we're celebrating our own achievements, right? But it's my hope that through this podcast, we can start to share those moments to a wider audience and all learn together.
