What I enjoy about the Installation Design Showcase is we are using fantastic designers and quality qualified labor said James Woelfel of Artcraft Granite Marble Tile Co. one of the IDS installation teams. Woelfel who is also president of NTCA added Dan Welch is a Five Star Contractor Brad Trostrud is Trowel of Excellence which is the TCAA designation were a Five Star Contractor and Grazzini Brothers are Five Star and Trowel of Excellence as well. So this is great design together with great qualified labor. And this is what it produces. It actually produces art.
