Tyler grew up in Pennsylvania and got his start at a local flooring store, where he spent four years learning installation hands-on. From there he worked around custom cabinetry and general contracting, which gave him a broader understanding of how flooring interacts with the rest of a remodel.
Flooring was the trade he kept coming back to. He eventually started subcontract installation work of his own, then moved to Utah and began rebuilding that network here.
In 2020, Tyler purchased a flooring business from a retiring owner and took over the showroom space in West Jordan. That gave him the opportunity to combine the part of the industry he knew best, installation, with the part homeowners often needed more help with, product selection and project planning.
He still stays involved because the standards of the company are easier to protect when ownership is close to the actual work. Trademark is not trying to become a national flooring chain. The goal is to be the local company people feel comfortable calling again when the next room, house, or property needs flooring.
