Who this playbook is for
This is the marketing playbook for stair installers & refinishers serving the Charlotte metro and the Carolinas. Your buyer is homeowners doing carpet-to-hardwood stair conversions and iron baluster upgrades. Flooring Accelerators is based in Charlotte, NC and built by Alan Magliocca — a Charlotte native from a family that's been in the local construction industry since 1960. We know what real flooring leads look like because our family works in the same neighborhoods yours does.
