In the latest episode of "All Things Wood Floor," host Stephen Diggins has a frank conversation with Cuyler Rigney, the young owner of Focal Point Floors in Delaware, Ohio. Rigney's route into the trade started far from hardwood: he and his father built a carpet-cleaning business first, and Rigney later taught himself sanding and refinishing through YouTube tutorials, online forums and hands-on mentoring from industry veterans, including a memorable trade of a guitar for his first sanding machine. The episode traces his equipment journey and how he resourced classes and industry pros to launch his business.
Beyond the origin story, Rigney speaks candidly with Diggins about the mistakes that come with the job, how he's building Focal Point Floors without paid advertising, and much more.
