How to Plan & Build Your Custom Home: A Contractor’s Guide
Building a custom home is a big step, and for most homeowners, it is a chance to create a space that truly fits their lifestyle. Unlike buying an existing house, a custom build gives you more control over the layout, design, materials, and features.

Winning the Deductible Game
If you’ve been a storm-restoration contractor for more than a day, you’ve likely come up against unscrupulous contractors who compete on the promise of waiving or eating deductibles.

Giving your clients options is an excellent way to differentiate yourself and get your clients emotionally invested in their project. Rather than offering one size fits-all type of roofing system, I would strongly suggest contractors educate their prospects on the different options available to them and letting them choose the options that best supports their vision for the project.
