Trade shows can sometimes blur together. Booth numbers, bright lights, handshakes, quick conversations in the aisle. But every once in a while, a week stands out for the right reasons.
TISE 2026 was one of those weeks.
Certified Tile Installer Mike Corona says,
You don't become a tile installer or a business owner overnight. It takes time, enthusiasm, pride, reliability, respectfulness, a willingness to learn, and dedication. No two jobs are the same; each one has its own unique nuances. As a qualified installer, you need to be able to communicate how to deal with those nuances and qualify yourself to not only meet but exceed expectations. Being qualified will exponentially increase your value and you will have endless opportunities.
