If you’re willing to take correction and listen to others so that you can brand yourself bet- ter, offering your clients advan- tages that most of your com- petition won’t, then certification will be an amazing step for you to take.” In addition to hum- bling you, Waldorf emphasizes that “certification will give you confidence in your abilities and help you make connections with others that can make you a better tile setter.” Since becoming a CTI, Waldorf completes every tile installa- tion under the assumption that it will be subject to inspection just like when he took the hands- on exam. “I naturally consider what it would be like to have someone take apart my finished work, examining every aspect of it,” Waldorf said. And as a result, Waldorf believes every project he completes is the absolute best he can give. According to Waldorf, certification allows you to “offer your customers more value because you’re not just hands that use tools. You are selling them your education and experi- ence, and that is more important than anything else in this busi- ness. That’s how you will build your reputation.” Waterproof wall inserts, for use with any installation method! Surface mount design, easy to install without precise framing.
