Episode Summary
We sit down with Michael Pecchia of MP Tiles, a seasoned tile setter who’s seen the trade evolve—and not always for the better. 15 years in the business and got into the industry right out of high school.We dive deep into: 🔸 The current state of the tile trade—what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. 🔸 Younger trades entering the industry—what they should expect and what’s missing from their skillset. 🔸 Client expectations vs. reality—dealing with budget constraints and Pinterest dreams. 🔸 The rising cost of materials—how it’s shifting pricing and impacting installers. 🔸 The lack of community in tiling today—why the trade isn’t as united as it once was.Michael keeps it real about what it takes to survive in the tile industry, the importance of quality work over speed, and why building respect for the trade is more important than ever. If you’re a tile setter, contractor, or homeowner thinking about tile work, this is a must-listen.🎧 Tune in now to hear what’s really happening in the tile industry!📸 Follow Michael on IG: @mptiles 📧 Email: msptiles@gmail.com 📞 Call: 289-380-2160#TheConstructionLife #MPTiles #TileTradeTalk #QualityOverSpeed #TileIndustryChallenges #TilingCommunity🔹🏗️🎙️This show is brought to you by.ALT Labour Solutions revolutionizes the labour industry with a user-friendly interface, secure payments, and a supportive team.
