News, Polk County
Robert Standfield didn’t imagine he would find his career profession before he graduated high school.
To earn money like any other teenager who wanted a car back in the 1980s, Standfield said sure to a request from a friend of his father’s to assist him in laying carpet.
“By the 12th grade, I was installing by myself and two years after that, I was self-employed,” he explained.
Nearly 35 years later, Standfield is still in the industry as he and his wife Candace opened Floorworks, LLC, Oct. 1, at 2071 Glacier Drive, Suite 3 in St. Croix Falls.
