Why Joined the P.B.R.A. ?
Professional bathtub refinishers association
The reasons are numerous but the main reason is the
camaraderie and support we get from each other. Within the private forum
we have 63 Members and some of the best refinishing minds world wide. We share information regarding products,
services, and
techniques. It's a good feeling just to be able to talk to other
refinishers world wide. I have read that the refinishing company failure
rate equals the restaurant failure rate.
Painters, Electricians, Plumbers, Realtors, Restaurant
owners, builders, contractors all have a formal association.
Professional refinishers do not.
As true professionals we
decided to create our own informal but professional association. We discuss pricing, warranties, the bid
process, new techniques just about anything you can think of
within the refinishing process.
Regardless of the system you are using
there is always room for help or improvement. Maybe you just want to
share your experiences. We would appreciate that. We even help new
companies that have taken the weekend courses offered by suppliers.
Professional refinishing is a true trade which requires skills and
talents that can only be learned with practice and guidance.
Even the most seasoned veterans have
found our private support group online helpful. It's just nice to be
able to talk or share information with people within the same
profession. We don't make any guarantees and we don't claim to know it
all. However, what we do offer is a place to share information and
mutual support. It's just plain nice to visit with others who share the
same profession. Here
is what a few members have to say. Sorry we can't post them all.
We link all our web sites
together under a common banner that demonstrates our desire to become
better refinishers. We strive for excellence within the profession and
learn from each others mistakes and successes.
We especially encourage to join if you participated in a 3 day weekend
refinish course or purchased manuals, videos, or disks sold online. The
above mentioned course are great and help get
you started but it's nice to have the fellowship of other professionals.
Even if you belong to other trade associations join us, you will be
glad you did.
Get listed.
