REAL PROJECT · SAN MARCOS TILE & FLOORING02 / MEET YOUR REMODELING ADVISOR
I’m Russell Standefer, owner of San Marcos Tile & Flooring LLC. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked hands-on in residential remodeling—from tile and flooring to carpentry, framing, drywall and painting.
Through Second Set of Eyes Consulting, I help homeowners understand contractor proposals, compare what’s included and decide what to ask before signing. I also help you work through decisions as your remodel progresses.
When you hire me to advise on a project, I don’t bid on that project’s construction.
