In the latest episode of the WFB podcast "All Things Wood Floor," host Steve Diggins talks with Josh Johnson, owner of Johnson Flooring in Deckard, Tenn., about how Johnson began by knocking on a flooring van’s window and learned the trade hands‑on. The two also discuss Johnson’s nightmare first sanding job and the huge mistake he made on that job.
Johnson describes mentorships, equipment upgrades from a 110 sander to a legit big machine and how classes and tools like a multi-head sander transformed his work and business.
Johnson offers practical advice for newcomers, reflects on pricing and physical demands, and outlines plans to open a showroom while continuing to balance installations and sand‑and‑finish work.
