Journey & brotherhood
From tech to contractor.
This story wasn't written in air-conditioned offices. It started with a sweat-soaked coverall, a mask strapped tight, and a bent back inside the blazing attics of Central Texas.
A tech who knew the value of every gallon, who learned to purge a clogged gun, and who earned builders' respect with square footage applied to perfection. Through hard work and nights of study, the employee's gun became his own trailer and a contractor's license.
René Navarrete — that tech who became a contractor and a mentor — helped start UNIFOAM. Today he shares what he knows, because he understood that when the Hispanic contractor raises his standard, the whole industry gains dignity.
"He comes to make the Latino contractor grow."
— from the UNIFOAM anthem
