Commercial Flooring Academy
$580,000 to $3 million in the same flooring business.
Eric got there by learning to bid commercial work, with the same crew and the same trucks. The bid book that prices those jobs is yours in week one.
He did not quit the trade to sell a course. He is still running jobs.
The Founding 20 opens soon. 20 seats, 60 days.

2.1 million in months 12 through 24. If you're stuck fighting for low-margin garage floors, consistently underbidding just to stay busy, you're not building a business, you're trapped in the race to the bottom. I know. I was there. I was grinding through residential epoxy jobs, competing with every contractor in town, and watching my profits disappear just to keep work coming in.
Then everything changed when I made one decision. I walked away from residential chaos and stepped into commercial industrial bidding. In months 12 through 24, my company generated over 2.1 million in revenue, not because I got better at installing floors, but because I learned how to find real opportunities, read plans, price correctly, and win higher value contracts consistently.
Here's the truth most contractors never hear. There are endless courses teaching you how to install epoxy and polished concrete, but almost none of them teach you how to bid and win large-scale jobs. That's exactly why I built this community.
Inside this platform, I'm going to break down the exact systems I used to transform into the commercial work: how to find projects before your competitors, how to read blueprints without confusion, how to estimate with confidence, and how to build relationships that turn into repeat contracts.
This isn't theory. This is the same process that took me from chasing garage floors to building a million-dollar company. If you're done competing on price and ready to step into the commercial industrial work, you're in the right place. Join the community, invest in yourself, and let's build something bigger together. I'll see you on the inside.

Why good installers keep losing commercial jobs to worse ones
You can put a floor down better than the guy who won the job. That is not what commercial work pays for.
Commercial pays on the bid, the schedule, and the paperwork. Nobody teaches that side, so the best installers keep getting beat by people who price better.
The gap is not skill. It is knowing how the job gets priced and how the money moves.
The part of the business nobody hands you
Every commercial bid comes down to a set of numbers you either know or you guess at. Guess low and you eat it. Guess high and you never hear back.
The bid book is the actual pricing system Eric runs a $3 million a year company on. It is not a blank template you fill in yourself.
You get it in week one, before you have finished a single course.
Everything a member gets
Four things, and you get all four the day your seat opens. Nothing is drip fed to you a week at a time.
What you walk away with
A bid you trust
You price commercial work off a real system instead of a gut number, so you are not eating the difference on a bid you guessed at.
Bigger jobs
Commercial work runs five and six figures. Same crew, same trucks, bigger number at the end.
You skip the expensive part
You skip the part where you learn this by losing money on your first four commercial jobs.
One won bid pays for the whole year
Commercial jobs run five and six figures. The work Eric bids sits in the $50,000 to $70,000 range. You do not need this to work ten times. You need it to work once.
What a founding seat gets you
- The bid book in week one, not after 12 modules
- The full training library, start to finish
- The community, where Eric and the other members answer questions
- Live sessions where you bring real plans and leave with a real number
What membership costs
$999 a month
Month to month, cancel any time. Your $199 deposit comes off month one, so your first month is $800.
Eric is building a smaller starter package at a lower rate. It has no date yet.
Nobody here hands you a job. There is no lead list and no bid board. Eric teaches you to find the work yourself: how to run ConstructConnect, pull the plans, read them, and price what you find. That is the part nobody else will show you, and it is the part you keep.
The first group is 20 seats for 60 days. Eric reads the bids himself, and he cannot do that for 200 people.
The line is longer than the group. We take up to 50 deposits, because people drop out and seats open up. If you land past 20, you hold the front of the next group and your $199 still comes off your first month.
Your risk
The bid book is yours to use on real jobs in week one, so you find out whether it works inside your first month.

Eric Townsend, Founder
Eric runs Custom Surface Solutions out of Fort Pierce, Florida. Commercial epoxy and polished concrete, sixteen people, jobs from Jupiter to Jacksonville.
He started with a grinder and a truck. First year was $580,000. Second year was $2.1 million.
He built the Academy because the commercial side has room for more good contractors, and almost nobody will show you how to get in.
