Explore Insights, Trends & Tips in Home Building

Doing the work yourself is the only way to truly know it inside and out. Over five decades in this industry, I’ve picked up a thing or two—setting forms, pouring concrete, framing walls, running plumbing and electrical, hanging drywall, you name it. Not many parts of a custom home are a mystery to me because, frankly, I’ve done them all. When I walk a job site, I’m not just checking on progress; I’m evaluating every piece of work as if I were the one who nailed it in place. If something is off with the framing or the plumbing, I can see it, and even more importantly, I know how to fix it.

For homeowners, this means you’re not left hoping every subcontractor knows his job as well as he should. You have a builder who can communicate directly and knowledgeably with every sub on the project. I’m not relying on others to catch mistakes because I see them myself before they become issues that cost time and money later. I can answer questions from subs out of my own experience, not out of a manual. And while I’ve been at this for a while, it’s still surprising how much I learn on almost every job. It keeps the work fresh and helps make the next home even better than the last.
