"We're starting to see that already, even though Trump has not taken office yet,” said Bender. “There has been an uptick in [consumer and business] confidence. What that can mean is whether or not the material conditions are the same for folks. If they're more confident in where they're going to be moving forward, they may be more willing to make that investment, do that remodel, upgrade their countertop."

On the topic of policy implementation speed, Bender offered a realistic timeline, stating, "Major policies aren't achieved in those 100 days. But those first two years, though, tend to be a little more accurate of a timeline."

The discussion also touched on potential economic policies such as tax cuts and tariffs.

"Understanding, I think it's something like 70% of stone production tends to come from overseas,” said Bender. “So, it can be a big impact. But no country makes up a significant portion of the market enough that other countries couldn't pick up the slack."

"There is obviously the risk to deportation -- and immigration policy,” Bender went on to say. “There's kind of the flip side of that for folks where there is the potential for wages to increase, as well for those that are in the market."

For small business owners looking to navigate the next four years, Bender's advice was pragmatic. "The best business practices don't necessarily change based on administration,” said Bender. “You still have to go about finding customers and employing quality people. When there's the risk of less worker availability, finding good quality workers is maybe of even higher importance."
