Tom Gebler, a nationally recognized Design Associate with Floor Coverings International, announced on April 20 the launch of a twice-monthly educational workshop series aimed at helping homeowners and do-it-yourself enthusiasts make informed decisions about flooring and remodeling projects.
The new workshops are intended to provide practical knowledge for individuals planning renovations or considering new flooring options. The sessions will offer guidance on evaluating materials, understanding installation requirements, and avoiding common mistakes that could lead to costly repairs or dissatisfaction.
Gebler has over 30 years of experience in architectural and interior design, including more than 16 years with Floor Coverings International. He is noted as the longest-tenured Design Associate among more than 300 locations nationwide and is recognized as one of the top three overall producers in the country. The workshops will be held at the company’s showroom at 1 South Milton Rd., Flagstaff AZ 86001. Each session will include live demonstrations, product showcases, and opportunities for attendees to ask questions.
“Many homeowners make decisions based on marketing claims or incomplete information,” said Gebler. “My goal is to educate people so they understand exactly what they’re buying and what to expect. There are critical details in warranties, installation requirements, and product performance that can make a huge difference.”
