Practical Sanding Advice and How to Charge What You're Worth: Tips from Tom Wimberly, Part 2

Practical Sanding Advice and How to Charge What You're Worth: Tips from Tom Wimberly, Part 2

Part two of "All Things Wood Floor" with lifelong wood floor pro and tool-repair wizard Tom Wimberly digs into the real-world habits that separate smooth, profitable jobs from headache callbacks. Wimberly breaks down dust containment the way only someone who’s lived it for decades can—why bags matter, how to keep them breathing, and the simple end-of-day routines that prevent clogs, fire risks and motor burnout. From drum sanders vs. belts to edgers, buffers, and vacs, he shares the maintenance truths most crews skip, plus the “shop-floor” fixes that save your upper rollers, wheels, pads, bearings and bankroll.

Wimberly also shares his turning-point story of going from just getting by every month—despite having crews and being busy—to operating with a cash cushion, and how that one shift changes everything: stress, bidding confidence, the jobs you say “no” to, and the money you stop leaving on the table. His insights and real-life contracting experience offer a clearer path to a business that serves you instead of consuming you.

Read Wimberly's articles "How I Learned To Charge What I’m Worth" from the December 2025/January 2026 issue of Wood Floor Business, and his article "Things Your Wood Floor Sanding Equipment Wishes You Would Do" from the April/May 2025 issue of WFB.
