Here’s the new reality for contractors. Clients are using AI and so am I.
She came prepared with an AI rendering of what she wants (Great!)
I record our meeting and have AI generate a scope from the transcript.
I’ll use that to turn around an estimate within 48 hours.

We worked for this older couple in their mid 70s this summer. The husband wanted to remodel their bathroom for his wife who had cancer.
We got it done, and she absolutely loved it. She got to enjoy it for about 3 months.
I recently found out that she passed.,
Man.. life is so short.
If there’s something you been wanting to do, do it. Take the trip, Build the thing, spend the money, make the memories, make the call & forgive that person.
I’m so guilty of this myself but we spend so much time in life saying we’ll get around to it, or one day & if we’re being honest that one day never shows up.
Enjoy it while it lasts but more importantly, enjoy them people around you while they’re here.
Rest well Betty, Glad I got to know you.

Spray foam in homes is incredible if you know what you’re doing! The #1 mistake people make is mixing traditional vented attic designs with foam. It doesn’t work! Excessive moisture will cause issues!

*Before everyone starts shitting on the kitchen… it was challenging because there is hot water baseboards everywhere and 3 doors going into the kitchen from the living room, bedroom and bathroom. There are more cabinets, countertops and the fridge on the opposite side of what you see. May add some over sink and stove. Super awkward placement.

Shall we talk about the hacienda kitchen?
Because the options are delicious.
It's all about lower cabinetry, tile choice and nooks.
SO MANY NOOKS
