78.6% of Colorado's flooring contractors with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 76.8% nationally. 91.5% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Calls a flooring contractor in Colorado has to catch

A few of the calls that come in to flooring contractors in Colorado:

Business texting for flooring contractors

Contractors text measurement appointments and install dates.

Texting from a local number in Colorado requires carrier registration (10DLC), a one-time $49 fee on Callata.
