During the last recession, I was working at a magazine read by swimming pool and hot tub professionals. That industry was devastated by the collapse of the housing market, and we covered the topic in almost every issue. In discussing the subject, our editorial team frequently used the phrase, “in the wake of the economic slowdown....” It was journalist-speak picked up from the mainstream media, and while the it described current market conditions, the words became so overused they lacked impact.

Why are 80% of remodelers struggling? Why are these companies falling short on the sales targets and forecasted net profit?
Every remodeling business is unique, but there are some common denominators. The following are a few typical business dynamics to highlight.
Today the pace of business is much faster. If you drive a car at 40 miles an hour, you have plenty of time to react to a deer in the road. But if you are driving 80 miles an hour, it’s harder to avoid an accident.

Mark IV Builders likes to measure the results of its remodeling work. One tool the company uses is a blower door to test the air tightness of the house before they begin remodeling, and then again after their work is complete. The results demonstrate to clients and field employees how much attention to detail can pay off.

Markup and Profit
Too many businesses fail because they don't charge enough for their work. When they discover how much they should be charging in order to pay their bills, pay themselves, and make a reasonable profit, their first reaction usually is, "No one will pay that much
We've heard, "I understand and follow the suggested markup, but the #1 reason I lose jobs when I have an in-person consultation is 'your price is too high' or 'competitor was 15% lower.' What am I doing wrong?"

I had a conversation recently with a young remodeler. I asked which type of work he targets. His answer, like so many others new to owning their own business, was that he is after any kind of work he could sell to make money. From his experience, he no longer wanted pressure-treated decking jobs. His concern was how they might look five or 10 years from now due to poor maintenance.

I’ve been thinking lately about how remodelers track growth. That’s partly because our daughter recently gave birth to our first grandchild, and tracking his growth is as big a deal today, 13 weeks after his delivery, as it was for the first in utero sonogram. There are a variety of growth metrics for infants—ounces of milk consumed, number of diapers soiled, hours spent sleeping—but the single-number shorthand for healthy
growth is body weight. Babies lose weight immediately after birth, and gaining it back is the first major milestone. After that, more or less steady growth is the norm.

Any anniversary is worth celebrating. It can be one of the best marketing opportunities a company will have, if handled well.
Several years ago, I was consulting with Dave Roberts, owner of Roberts Architecture and Construction, located in Evanston, Ill. The company was coming up on its 30th anniversary and I suggested to Dave that he and his team celebrate in a memorable way for two reasons.
