Testimonials
Dear Kevin:
Today my son and I started what we trust would be a family business and a long term relationship with a trusted partner. While good products are essential to success, people are the ones that make it happen and I want to congratulate you for the great team that you and Brad have assembled and the winner culture that everyone at CTi projects.
Chuck, Ryan, Diana, Mike seem just the golden tip of the iceberg in what feels like the right partner with whom to launch Surfacexperts. Work and dedication on our part will determine our eventual success but I am glad and encouraged to do it with the fine team which I am sure is a reflection of you.
Looking forward to growing with your support and seeing you again soon.
All the best to the CTi team.
Brad:
Thanks for the lead you sent over. I will be curious to see if it came from my show setup which is going quite well by the way. 13 request for quotes in first 2 days and 70 plus handouts to people we spoke with who are interested…6 more days of the show left.
I made those samples Wed-Fri and set the booth up by Friday eve. Thanks again for everything.
Larry,
I want to thank you for all of your help over the past weeks and especially last week while Jeff & I were there for training. Thanks for picking me up & returning us to the airport. Sorry you had to endure the Friday traffic in getting us back.
As we were running out of time yesterday I did not get to personally thank Kevin, Chuck, Ryan, and Brad for the excellent training we received. Please thank them for both Jeff and me! Thank Kevin for the meals also. It was very nice of him to do that. The food was great too.
We are anxious to get started making the systems. Hopefully we dont wear Chuck & Ryan out with questions.
Thanks again! Jeff & I feel very good about this business opportunity w/ CTI.
Chuck, Ryan and Brad,
Thanks to each of you for an excellent couple of days of training last week. Learned much with much still to learn. I liked the blend of hands on with each of your instructions.
Rick, FYI…CTi Rocks! Will end up with $17,500 in sales my first month in business. Very Pleased!
Kert,
Just wanted to let you know I was very pleased with CTI as a company, and Supplier as well. You were able to answer all of my questions about the products, Installation, As well as Marketing and Sales
to profitability. Hope to see you at the School October 5th & 6th.
Kert, excellent job on the call tonight sir. I sit in several director level calls a week, that aren’t that professionally driven. I’m excited about this opportunity
It was great meeting you all in person! It was also encouraging to learn more from the BEST on how to START the business, APPLY the system, utilize RESOURCES available to us, and how to be SUCCESSFUL on this journey. I enjoyed it all.
Brad,
We’re excited about the results from our first home show, our booth generated 40 inquiries that have already turned into six jobs for our Dealership. We’re very pleased with the first three months of operation and looking forward to a great first full season.
Hey Brad,
I just wanted to give Chuck a raving review. He has been such an incredible help to Rob and I! He always is willing to answer questions and help us problem solve. He always amazes us with his knowledge and recommendations. Nights, weekend, it really doesn’t matter he has been there. We really appreciate him and wanted CTI to know! Thank you!
Hi Guys,
I started my own business in December of 2017. Twelve months prior to that, I explored a few different business models trying to figure out what was best for me. At the time I was a suit and tie wearing business banker of 12 years. Through a lot of research I realized the home improvement industry was booming in my area and concrete has outstanding margins. I found CTi online, meet with them, and joined a couple of their calls. I quickly began to realize the margins in this industry were actually better than I initially thought. Having no construction background at all, the fear of going from a business banker to a contractor began to set in. I had further conversations with Nick Urino at CTi and he assured me, “we will teach you everything you need to know”. At this moment and every previous moment leading up to it Nick Urino was great, so I decided to sign up. The two day training led by Chuck Brewer and Ryan Rosenberger was amazing and gave me a lot of the basics making me dangerous with all my new material. I started the business in December and had my first job scheduled the following month in January 2018. There have been a lot of hard lessons learned along the way, but I have always been able to rely on the crew at CTi for support. I have called, emailed, and smoke signaled Ryan and Chuck hundreds of times!!! 99% of the time they are answering the phone right away, and any other time they get back to me within an hour or so. The difficulty of learning the construction aspect of the business is relieved with the great support group at CTi. The other end of starting this company is the business aspect of everything. Marketing, P&Ls, Profit Margins, and everything is reviewed in training with Brad too! Even afterwards, Brad has been there to answer any questions I have.
Six months into this I have collected over $65,000 in sales and am booked out for the next 6 weeks. Also hiring on my third employee which will allow me to start taking on even more work. This so far has been the biggest and best decision I have made in my life.
Thanks Kevin for the team you have there at CTi. Every single person in that building and helped me in some why to succeed! Thank you so much!
Hey Ryan,I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the thoroughness of the training and support I’ve already received. I’m pumped to get started so once my material arrives and I get organized I’ll be sending you pictures of my plywood samples and will incorporate your feedback before taking on the first job. I also have another guy who is fully on board to work with me and manage a crew (and more as we grow) so I’m sending him to the next training class.
I hope to tackle my first real job in about 3 weeks and already have several lined up. I know it’s just going to take off from there. Thanks again and you can call me Jake going forward (my Mother is only one who calls me Jacob and that’s when she’s yelling at me)!
Hey Brad,Thanks for your follow up, and conversation today . That really helps us out, and look forward to continuing business. We appreciate the entire CTI staff, the business venture has been top notch so far !
Thanks so much for the assistance that you have given us over our first year. Lane and I are excited about going into our 2nd year and what all it may bring.
Hi Kevin,
I wanted to take a few minutes to send you a quick email to tell you how impressed with have been with your company and the people that you have working with you. Chuck and Ryan were great, we really appreciated the help and knowledge they provided and also just their personalities in general.
I really wanted to let you know how amazing Mike has been. He has been so good to work with us. Based on the time difference between Florida and Utah as well as having to wait until Jason was off work, he has spent many hours after his normal business hours this past month working through things with us. He has never made us feel like it has been an imposition on him and his personal life.
On Friday, he stayed with us at the office until after 5:30 to get our Performa finalized and the shipping set up. He then took us down to the place we were supposed to rent our car from. When we got there, it was about 20 mins before closing but there was a note on the door stating they would be right back. We told him to just drop us off and head home but he wouldn’t. Long story short, they never showed and we had to run back to the Tampa airport to pick up a car. We kept telling him to just let us call an Uber to take us back but he said no and took us all the way back to the airport. He went so far above and beyond to take care of us and to make our experience as easy on us as possible. I am sure after working with him as long as you have you realize what caliber of person he is but we wanted to let you know that we have been so impressed with him, his knowledge, and what a genuinely nice person he is.
We are very much looking forward to this next phase in our life with starting this business. Meeting the people at the company and learning the product this past week has made us much more comfortable with the decision we have made to go in this direction.
Thanks for all of your hospitality and knowledge you shared with us last week.
Thanks
Suz
I did $140,000.00 in bids last week. I secured $50,000 of it looks like my marketing plan is starting to work. My website helps a lot . I also use Home Advisor for leads. I am in my third year. 3 of the bids are commercial.

What a great course you and your lovely wife put together. I was soooooo wrong and my assumption was waaaaay off too! I really need this. I want to replicate your success. Larry did me right!
