Dragon Custom Floors.

Washington L&I registers the business under floor covering and counter tops, and those two trades are the whole of the work. The state lists James Sarich as a principal since 1999. Residential jobs make up most of what it does, and it has a public-works filing from 2016 with the City of Spokane, taken on as a subcontractor. That means the shop has handled a prevailing-wage job for a municipal client as well as work in private homes around Spokane. The fit is replacement flooring in an existing house, or a remodel where the counter tops are being built to order. Work tends to come through general contractors, referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising, so a homeowner already working with a remodeler may find the business arrives through that route. Framing and structural work fall outside the registration, so a project that opens walls or moves bearing points needs a general contractor leading it, with the floors and tops coming in after. Flooring and counter work in Spokane follows remodeling season. Spring and summer fill calendars as kitchen and bath projects start, and fall brings a push from homeowners who want things finished before the holidays. Winter is often the easier time to get on a small shop's schedule, since interior work carries on when outdoor trades slow down. On a remodel, the floors and tops come near the end, so it pays to line up the installer early, while the rest of the job is still being planned, rather than waiting until the cabinets are in.
