JJJ Floor Covering, a premier commercial flooring contractor serving California since 1964, is proud to announce a significant leadership change. After 25 years of dedicated service and leadership, Jim Jeffries is stepping down from his role, paving the way for Gigi Gutierrez to take the helm as the company’s new President.
As Jim prepares to enter a well-deserved retirement, the entire JJJ family—and the wider flooring industry—celebrates his incredible contributions. Over the last two and a half decades, Jim has been more than just a leader; he has been a pillar of the industry, known for his integrity, technical expertise, and commitment to excellence. His mentorship has paved the way for the next generation of professionals. We thank Jim for his tireless service, his passion for the craft, and the indelible mark he leaves on JJJ Floor Covering.
This transition marks a new chapter for JJJ Floor Covering, with the company expressing high confidence that Gutierrez will lead the organization to even greater heights. She will be supported by Vice President John Kells as the executive team continues to drive the company’s mission of quality and expertise.
