In 1998 I, Dan Rivas, began a floor service company and got the name Aptiva interior solutions in order to work for lowes and the home depot. Soon after I enlisted the help of a childhood friend, Johnny, to start this endeavor with me. We had wonderful 5 year run with the home depot, we met a lot of people, did a lot of different work and learned the in’s and out’s of a big box store. John and I went on to work with a couple of different companies for 2 years, when I approached him again to help with running a retail flooring store along with my brother Frank in New Braunsfels.
