- "Same thing with all the trucks that break down and stuff like that. I'm learning that curve too, just to let it go and let it be and just pay for it, and keep moving. You might be broke, you know, a little bit paying for some of that stuff at times, but at the same time, you gotta keep going." - Nic Staton
- "Being in the construction background, framing houses and doing stuff like that, you never really saw the finished product. So when I got into wood floors, you always saw the finished product because you were making sure that product was finished. So I knew that I wanted to find something that I carried through" - David Rivas
- "Don't waste your footsteps on dirty houses. Don't do it. You want clean houses because they don't ever want to see those houses get dirty. Period." - David Rivas
