Brian and I dive into what’s really happening in the home improvement world—why some contractors fall behind, how technology is reshaping remodeling, and what homeowners should expect when hiring a pro. If you’re looking for trusted contractors, real guidance, and smarter ways to plan your next project, this episode is for you.
