In 1998, Ryan Dillard left Dallas in a red Jeep, carrying only a few belongings and a desire to take a break from his studies at Southern Methodist University. His plan? To visit family in the mountains of New Mexico and to think about the direction of his life. The furthest thing from his mind was starting a family business that would blaze a trail in the resurfacing industry.

During Ryan’s visit, he discovered how someone could restore worn bathtubs and countertops―without removal. He also saw the potential to reach out to a larger clientele. He called his parents, Cub and Sharon Dillard, and told them they had to come to Albuquerque to expand this unique business opportunity, Get A Grip. “Everything seemed to fall into place,” says Sharon. “I’ve always believed when it’s right, it’s easy!”

Today, Get A Grip leads the resurfacing industry in over 30 locations across the country. The company remains a true family business.
