Career History
Mike Burgener has over 38 years in the floor covering industry. He is recognized as one of the top industry’s trainers and inspectors. Mike began his floor covering career in 1967. Taking a little time out to serve his country in the military he came home and started a commercial floor covering installation service. His company specialized in military bases; this brought him to the gulf coast of Florida in 1978. His company has work in all of the armed services bases in the south east. His reputation as a critical installation craftsman caught the attention of the All Industry Council who at that time was working on creating a floor covering installation curriculum for trade schools. Mike went on to create one of the industries first full time floor covering installation schools and to write the training program for a certification program for existing installers. He has been performing inspections for all facets of the floor covering industry since 1988. Architects and developers have used Mike’s expertise in the design phase along with installation guidance during the construction process. He is a highly sought source for expert testimony when cases end up in litigation.
