Bob Files's Bio
RCO Tile & Stone: Tile and stone installations team for Commercial and Residential applications.
Manger and founder of RCO Tile & Stone: Bob Files has an impressive background starting in the summer of 1978 between his junior and senior year of high school. Bob decided to work the trade by day and finish his high school education by night to complete his senior year because he enjoyed and wanted the opportunity to work in the trade.
Starting in 1979 a little over one year in the trade Bob joined the tile setters union and quickly excelled to lead position on some of the largest and most prestigious projects in northern CA. Bob excelled in the trade so much that he was awarded the Silver Trowel Award for three projects that he serviced, the Solano Mall in Fairfield in 1981, the TV Building in Sacramento in 1982, and the Downtown Corporate Center in Sacramento in 1984.
In 1986 to 1998 Bob was promoted to Superintendent responsible for scheduling, verifying field conditions of upcoming projects, and the management of installations for the projects in the Sacramento and North Bay for the tile setters union.
In 1998 Bob built a new successful ceramic tile department with a company that did not previously maintain a tile and stone department. Bob added Brian Montgomery (Commercial Estimator) and Nicole Gallier (Commercial Estimator & Showroom Manager) to his team to help with the estimating of project. Bob, Brian and Nicole quickly learned that they maintained parallels in work ethics, morals, and overall customer service. Their team has grown in knowledge and has a very cohesive attitude. They have vast experience in all aspects of the trade both residential and commercial both large and small.
Mendi is the newest addition to the team and assists in administrative support and enables Bob, Brian and Nicole to focus on project functions, and sales organization. All backed by Roseville Flooring infrastructure which enables product flow, warehousing, accounting, and logistics.
Bob Files and the owners (brothers) Earl and Kelly Mann felt a synergy in their business philosophies based upon sound business principals, and the availability of the same team of professionals that has been established since 1987 when Kelly and Earl took over the business from their parents. Both brothers have experience in the flooring trade since 1978 and have carried a C-15 license since 1987.
