What commercial flooring roles pay in Greensboro.
In the Greensboro metro, BLS puts the median for tile and stone setters at $49,160 a year, 12% below the $55,690 national median. Among the 84 metros BLS publishes for this occupation, Greensboro ranks 48th on pay. Most of the market sits between $36,160 and $59,740. Floor layers, tile setters and carpet installers are published separately, which is why the range across the rows below is wide. BLS does not publish Greensboro pay for 3 of the roles below, which it withholds where a metro's sample is too small to be reliable. National benchmarks by role are in the 2026 Commercial Flooring Salary Guide.

What candidates expect. What credentials matter. What kills offers.
We don't tell prospective clients who their competitors are hiring - that's a discipline our clients value, and we'll honor it on a call. What we will share publicly: how Greensboro commercial flooring hiring actually plays out in 2026.
Why we name JetZero and Toyota, not the Overland Place Apartments
The $14.6M Overland Place Apartments project is named in the hub's own data as a smaller residential development, but the flooring mini specifically names the two mega-projects, so that's what we report.
Why aerospace-grade and static-control are two distinct specialties, not general installation
The hub draws a clear line: aerospace-grade flooring for JetZero and static-control flooring for the battery plant are both distinct, higher-skill installs than conventional commercial flooring.
What this means for sourcing
We source against verified aerospace-grade flooring experience for JetZero-adjacent roles, and static-control experience for battery-plant-adjacent roles - two distinct credential pools.
Realistic timelines
Standard commercial flooring roles: 4-6 weeks intake to signed offer, consistent with the region's broader hiring timeline. First slate of vetted candidates within 48 hours regardless.

How Greensboro's commercial flooring market compares
In 2023 the Greensboro metro had 9 nonresidential flooring contractors (counted by business location). BLS publishes that count but withholds headcount and pay here, which it does when a category is small enough that the figures could identify individual employers. The number of these employers rose 12.5%, more firms competing for the same crews. That works out to 1.1 per 100,000 residents, close to the 1.0 national rate.
| Metro | Median pay | Commercial employers |

| Charlotte | $56,040 | 39 |
| Raleigh | – | 16 |
| Greensboro | – | 9 |
| Winston-Salem | – | 8 |

How Greensboro's commercial flooring market has changed since 2018.
The number of nonresidential flooring contractors in Greensboro rose from 8 in 2018 to 9 in 2023, up 13%, ahead of the 7% national rise. With so few firms, one opening or closing moves that percentage a long way. How many people those 9 locations employ is not published: with a category this small, BLS would effectively be reporting individual employers' payrolls.
