The Hiring Continuum
Remodeling
The ability to successfully grow a company long-term is based largely on the ability of the owner to manage the critical resources of time, people and money. In this article, I’ll focus on the people, and specifically the first step: making good hires.
One key to getting very good at hiring is to understand what I call the “hiring continuum.” Hiring is not a single act, but a process. Being clear on when the process starts and when it ends, and seeing it as an ongoing process, is critical to success.

Essential COVID-19 Jobsite Safety Practices
Remodeling
Since mid-March, organizations such as the Construction Industry Safety Coalition and Occupational Safety (CISC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have provided resources and safety recommendations at jobsites to ensure the safety of construction employers, employees, and contractors from exposure to coronavirus (COVID-19). Chief among these practices are recommendations to maintain physical distancing, to wash and sanitize hands frequently, and to wear properly-fitting masks and eye protection.

Free is a 4-Letter Word
Pro Remodeler
Caveat emptor—buyer beware. These words should be stamped on the front page of any proposal that offers free services or its evil twin "fees credited back."
Both of these practices are commonplace in the remodeling industry, which is already on the "approach with caution" list for consumers. The damage that is done by engaging in misleading or deceptive business practices extends to beyond the consumer to the entire industry.

Preparing for an Extended Season
Pro Remodeler
With summer nearly behind us, we're heading into overtime after a delayed start to the season. What are the critical factors to be mindful of while preparing to lead our industry teams into an extended installation season?
Now more than ever, we all need to be sure that we are of sound mind as we work longer hours and later into the season. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being.
