G.S. Bone and Sons grew their business by word of mouth referrals and fair honest deals. Also providing the highest quality craftsmanship keeping all their customers happy. Too bad we didn’t have google reviews back then.
Back in the 80s after my grandfather retired my dad was running the business with the help of Mary in bookkeeping and production. My cousin Ed, his dad George, another couple of crews and I were handling all of the installations. Often installing carpet over the hardwood flooring that we installed many years before.
It was at this time that I got the itch to leave the small town of Hemet and moved to San Diego in 1984.
In one day, I picked up a job at Mr. Carpets, set up an apartment in Oceanside and started working in San Marcos the following Monday.
Since then my wife and I have purchased and remodeled a few homes so I know how the process works. I have also had the opportunity to work for several large stores in San Diego including Carpet Club, Coles Fine Flooring and with nine years in sales and management at Mitchell’s floor covering.
For the following ten years I was responsible for growing and building out a custom showroom where I was able to increase sales by over 450% using the same referral-based attraction marketing model that my family has used since the 50’s.
What I learned over the past 40 years years is that small business is built on relationships and I have been able to develop relationships with many manufacturer’s reps and great installation crews in San Diego.
I now have some designers, realtors, and contractors that have been referring their clients to me as a trusted resource for many years.
I look forward to bringing my experience to your door to assist you with your next flooring project.
