Quotes From Satisfied Attendees:
Hi Tom, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the hands on class in Phoenix, I’ve been to a lot of schools over the years and I have to say when you said hands on you were not kidding, boy was I tired after the first day, I don’t mean brain tired from reading books but body tired from running machines. We had real life situations like removing lippage from marble, granite, and travertine, and then filling the travertine, and polishing. Letting us make mistakes then showing us how to resolve them, more like the real world! We had great interaction with Brian and you and the rest of the class. I came away with enough knowledge and skills to start my restoration business.
Thank You,
Phil Campbell
Just wanted to tell everyone what a great stone restoration class Tom McNall put on in Phoenix. Not having done any restoration, I went to see if a move in this direction would be feasible and and what it really takes to be successful in stone restoration. I came away with the knowledge and confidence that this is a great opportunity.
Thank-you,
Bob Carr
