Speaker 1: I have been holding hands since the day after we

138
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,760

139
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,560

140
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: We moved to a condo in Pewaukee mid November that year,

00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: and I started my own company January.

142
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: First.

143
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: I was in the fetal position much, I mean rocking

144
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: back and forth, like, oh my gosh, what have I done?

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 3: What have I done?

146
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200

00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: you got to be really excited.

148
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 5: I'm excited, yes, And just with my background, it kind

149
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: of led me to this position where the ability to

150
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: not only sell design, working with homeowners at their kitchen table,

151
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: and then taking it into construction. That's the exciting part

152
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 5: because it was always exciting when I was part of it,

153
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 5: but never seeing it come to fruition through me is

154
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: always for someone else, And now I'm very excited about that.

155
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: Of being able to project manage the entire thing and.

156
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: Take it together, that's that's a whole different animal.

157
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Now to target take it from start to finish, and

Speaker 4: they're all O c D.

260
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say I will say that Gail has

261
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: a sickness. She does have the O C D to

262
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 5: a good a good fault because when she goes into

263
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: someone's home and she sees these little details and things

264
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 5: that she picks it out right away where it wasn't

265
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 5: cut in right, or there's something with the drywall that

266
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: wasn't patched. Yeah, it really is a gift. But get it,

267
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 5: it's a it's a curse.

268
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: Or a curse. I can't. I don't see it.

269
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: If we said we're gonna we're gonna paint that Kelly

270
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: seat until it's done. Like, if you give me three

271
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: different idea, Okay, do you want this green, this green,

272
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: or that.

273
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have no idea. I don't have that gift.

274
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: I can help you with that.

275
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you be my eyes with that and my

276
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: opinion because I have none like you choose.

277
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: You heard him talk about Kelly green. That's what I mean.

278
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: That would be the color he would pick for any

279
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: hundred times out of a hundred. Yeah, I wanted my

280
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: house Kelly green. Randy Miller said, you got to leave

281
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: because I'll talk to your wife and she can decide,

282
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: And we ended up getting a little bit green in there.

283
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: But it's just interesting that that's what I being one

284
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: hundred percent irish, but I can't see it before it's done,

285
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: and it's such a gift. When when you started this company,

286
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: are you? Are you busier now than than you had?

287
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: Are good?

288
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: We are way busier than I anticipated. It started with

289
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: just Genie and myself and now we're up to seven people.

290
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: We did hire our very first non family member about

291
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: three months ago, and she's asking me if i'll adopt her.

292
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: There you go to be part of the family. Yeah,

293
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: well you gotta.

294
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: You gotta go outside the family every once in a while,

295
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: because if it's a crazy family, maybe they'll tell you

296
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: that that's crazy.

297
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: Those are our best workers, our best workers. When we

298
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: hire someone, we look for people that want to become

299
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: part of a family, they want to be a trade

300
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they become they start coming

301
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: to their birthday parties and they start doing all that stuff,

302
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: and those don't not to always be your next leaders

303
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: of the company.

304
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 4: Her name is Alex, but her last name used to

305
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 4: be Pickle, Pickle Lima or Piccolone or something like that,

306
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: so she's she's nicknamed Pickles and she's absolutely adorable. The

307
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: culture at our work sites is just so great.

308
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,920

00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what we are hosting fourth of July. Can

313
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: we get it done before that?

314
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: We will try to make it work. Absolutely, we'll try

315
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: to make it work. Typically we're booked about a month

316
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: to a month and a half in advance, sometimes out further.

317
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: But because I have a good staff now, I can

318
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: usually pull a few people and have two job sites,

319
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: sometimes three job sites going at the same time.

320
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Is there is there a minimum for you? If somebody

321
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: just wants their kitchen painted. Are you okay with that?

322
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: Or is that we would like to have.

323
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: Three or four two little powder rooms to a full house.

324
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: I think that, do you know why?

325
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: I think that's the most important thing, because if somebody

326
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: has you come in and paint the powder room and

327
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: they like the experience, you, you know, the first person

328
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: they're going to call when the upstairs bedroom and the

329
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: main bath and the dining room need painted is going

330
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: to be you.

331
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: Guys.

332
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: I had someone call me last year and all he

333
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: needed was they were moving out of their house into

334
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: a new house, and all they needed was a wall

335
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: repair and a little hallway wall painted and all window

336
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: ledge in their kitchen. And I told him I'd do

337
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: it for him. So I sent someone in to take

338
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: care of that for him. So we'll do little, small

339
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: favorite things for people up to full.

340
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,760

382
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,160

383
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: around the business for a long time. He's not a

384
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,840

385
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: it's still.

386
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 5: The same old architect. Well, actually I was a young

387
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 5: architect thirty years ago, but I am a licensed architect

388
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 5: in Wisconsin. Have always been doing resident He was an

389
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 5: architect when he used to use pencils. Yeah, right, way

390
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 5: back in the day.

391
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: Lots changed since you were Yeah.

392
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely, three D yeah, three D color renderings everything.

393
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: Hey, forget to a break your favorite room to work? Yet?

394
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: Is it is it redoing that that kind of look?

395
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: I I'm just asking the questions that people out there

396
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: want to know your you're is it? Is it themand

397
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: cave in the basement that Bengo wants to talk about.

398
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: Is it the master bath? Is here a favorite room

399
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: in that?

400
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 5: And I would say there's two and they're both more complex.

401
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: It's the kitchen plus where you're taking out a wall

402
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 5: and you're reconfiguring their whole first floor for their lifestyle.

403
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 5: Or it's a suite where someone wants to maybe convert

404
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: two bedrooms into a full primary master suite for the again,

405
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 5: for their lifestyle, for their enjoyment every day. And they're

406
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 5: more complex. You know, it's more of a puzzle rather

407
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: than just a rip and replace. Let's get really creative

408
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 5: and reinvent their their home.

409
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: Do you know there are people in your business that

410
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: are more cookie cutter, right, And they wouldn't answer the

411
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: question the way you did because you were like, I

412
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: really like the complex ones. I got to take down

413
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: the wall and move this here and move that. There

414
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: are people in your business that are more cookie cutter, right, Sure,

415
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: this is the way we did. That's the niche for sure.

416
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I like that answer, by the way, because that means

417
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: that you're looking at the whole picture. And if they

418
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: want to bring somebody in who can figure things out

419
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: that maybe other people say, I don't think that can

420
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: be done.

421
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: Sure, bring you with anything could be done, just what.

422
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: You have to do to get it there. You heard

423
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: it here first.

424
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Hey, in your industry the HGTV shows, is it good.

425
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: For you or bad?

426
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 5: Oh? I can't watch them. They drive me crazy. It's

427
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 5: a concern of mine because it's not reality. It's entertainment.

428
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: And I make a joke about it to clients saying, Okay,

429
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: you know, we're going to do our due diligence and

430
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: then we're going to take a commercial break and we're

431
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: going to come back and say, oh no, look at

432
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 5: what we found. Right, that's not reality. It's always one

433
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: of those we need to figure that out before we

434
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 5: start constructing.

435
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: What people don't understand in those shows, the consumers don't understand,

436
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: is that a lot of that stuff gets donated by

437
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: sponsors that's not in the final you know, bottom line.

438
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: Do you know?

439
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: My wife has asked me that a lot, and that's

440
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: the answer I have for Like, there's no chance that

441
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: was twenty two thousand dollars.

442
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: No, No, well chance And another thing is to is

443
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: o end up changing. I will fight with people, even

444
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: lawyers and stuff like we'll talk about German smearing, right,

445
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: they go on there, they talk about German smear, but

446
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: people don't realize what that was actually a tuck pointing

447
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: method back from five hundred years of tuck pointing, right,

448
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: because bricks don't let you, I mean more, it doesn't

449
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: last long as bricks. And now people like go there

450
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: and you just like take painting and paint the brick

451
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: a little bit and you call it German.

452
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: That's not German smearing. I mean you're smearing. You learned

453
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 5: something everything.

454
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: Actually any of it, but say it's actually smant and stuff,

455
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: and you just and people and they keep doing these

456
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: shows like well this is what we're doing, and people

457
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: look at as if that's fact, now, right, I mean

458
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm one of other things too, right, it's as if

459
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: it's fact. That's how it's being build on and being built.

460
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

461
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: So, Bingo, you've done several different textures for me, and

462
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 5: I don't think you ever did the German smear for

463
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 5: me in the past.

464
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: So that's oh he has you just didn't know it, Okay, Yeah,

465
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,879

466
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: sponge and you just feeling all the joints okay, right,

467

Speaker 2: uh will, I'll give them the complement. They built it,

474
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: and then you hired us that Duram German spirit. We

475

523
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. You did that completely wrong.

524
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Hey, Jim, I got a text from uh from a

525
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: guy who UH wants to know this.

526
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: What does full service interior design?

527
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: Me?

528
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 6: Uh?

529
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 5: Well, first, full service, I think it is from start

530
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: to finish. Full service is basically taking care of them

531
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 5: from the initial stage of sitting again at their their

532
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 5: dining room table or the kitchen table finding out what

533
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 5: their needs are and then putting a team together to

534
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 5: take care of those needs, a team of contractors, trade contractors,

535
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 5: interior designer engineering if if that's required, and taking it

536
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 5: all the way through to the point where we are

537
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: walking out of their house and they begin to enjoy

538
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 5: that living space. That that to me is.

539
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I thought.

540
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: I I like the way you started an answer from

541
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: start to finish, right, So it's not like what you

542
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: come to you and you say, okay, let me let

543
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: me redesign the the the kitchen for you, and then

544
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: you walk away and then I gotta find somebody else

545
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: to do that. Right then I got to find another

546
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: company to work with me. And this another company, I

547
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: go with you and it start to finish, and when

548
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: this thing is done and we cut the ribbon, you're

549
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: going to be there with us kind of thing. And

550
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: I just think that that's a huge advantage.

551
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

552
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

553
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: And I've been doing that too with remodelers, so that

554
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: was has been part of my past. Now I'm just

555
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 5: I'm really looking forward to being that person they're signing

556
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 5: off at the.

557
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: Work Field Design Remodel LLCING budget.

558
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: For some reason, people don't want to be honest about

559
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: their budget. And the hard part is you have to

560
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: get to the real budget so you know what you can.

561
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely that gets back to the hg TV issue, right.

562
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: And well, first of all, they always say, okay, well

563
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 2: only tell them you're gonna do like a third of

564
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: what you're going to pay for because they're going to

565
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: be three times as much. And people or they get

566
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff in their head about budget. But

567
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: the problem is you said, you know, if I want

568
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: an eight thousand dollars kitchen, Okay, we're going to paint

569
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: the walls and maybe change a light for you.

570
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: That's yeah, there you go.

571
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: What I'm just saying is that people have to get

572
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: over the hiding the budget part. I agree, And that's

573
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 2: what that's the longest thing about the whole thing is

574
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: what makes people say how long does it take? Well,

575
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: first of all, we have to find a real, true

576
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: budget and decisions the job because what happened to what

577
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: makes jobs last so long is that there is a

578
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: customer will change your mind, and when you do that,

579
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: the subs are lined up or now longer on your schedule,

580
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: and sometimes there are way out and you can't get

581
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: back to it. And that seems to be the biggest

582
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: problem I always see with jobs, a little bit of

583
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: project creep. Right, Hey, as long as you're here, how

584
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: about if we do scope creepy, scope creep creep. It's

585
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: great for that contract, for that one contractor does there,

586
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: but now for the rest of all they hold Sure. Yeah,

587
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: you know we talked about that when he used to

588
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: do teaching it. Yeah, you scope creep right, So yeah,

589
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: I like to extend this floor out. Well, now that

590
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: the painters, yeah lined up, and now the drywalls yeah

591
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: lined up, are no longer available to be there for

592
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: the time slot you want.

593
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 5: You need them now, sure, And going back to the

594
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: initial issue of budget, it is an issue, uh, and

595
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 5: a lot of times people maybe don't want to share

596
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: that because they think, well, if I tell you sixty thousand,

597
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: you're going to take all that. If you don't need it,

598
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: well tell me sixty thousand dollars budget. If you want

599
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: eighty thousand dollars worth of work, we can still do

600
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 5: something for sixty thousand. We just might have to take

601
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: a few things out as an option. We can do

602
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 5: this for sixty thousand, We can do this for eighty

603
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 5: and then also turns out where well, as long as

604
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 5: you're here and now before you know it, it's one hundred thousand,

605
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: and they see the value in it and they're going

606
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 5: to move forward if they're comfortable with That.

607
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: Makes a huge I think a huge difference do you

608
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: shop with your clients, because and I go back to

609
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: this all the time. All my wife and I had

610
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: to do is pick out the hardware for cabinets we

611
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: had put in and I couldn't do it. Like we

612
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: went to a big box store and I thought there'd

613
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: be like ten options, and there's fourteen thousand options.

614
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 5: Absolutely right.

615
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: I went to the car and I sat in the

616
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: car and listened to music because we're going to dinner.

617
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: We're going to pick them and they go, I have

618
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: something to eat. And when I saw all these options,

619
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't I need three, Give me three and I

620
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: can pick one. Where you help people in that shopping.

621
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 5: Process, absolutely, that's part of the full service where an

622
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 5: interior designer is going to help out and bring this

623
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 5: thing for me. I love doing the layout that's very

624
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 5: enjoyable for me and figuring out again that complex layout

625
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 5: of what we can do and how we can change

626
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: their home and then to take it one step further

627
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: is an interior designer that I work with with a

628
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 5: team just to create this beautiful look, pulling everything together

629
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 5: those selections, to having an interior designer take a homeowner

630
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: into a showroom and with blinders and focus on one

631
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 5: section based on their needs and their style instead of,

632
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 5: like you said, that broad spectrum where you walk in

633
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 5: and there's just way too much.

634
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you from start to finish. You guys

635
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: are dating for a while, right, So if and it

636
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: court goes back at court ship, it goes back and forth.

637
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: If I'm comfortable with you, but you have to be

638
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: comfortable with the customers. Well, right, so if we make

639
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: a decision, okay, this is the direction we're going to go,

640
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: and a month later I go, you know, I decided

641
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I want that wall taken down, like

642
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I want the open concept. Yeah, you

643
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: don't want to work with a guy like me that

644
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: has all these changes coming, you know, Yeah, you kind

645
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: of once you go.

646
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 5: Work through that. We'll work through that though in the design.

647
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 5: We don't want to work through that in construction, correct,

648
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: we'll work through it in design, figure out what directs

649
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 5: you want to go, what is the cost. Let them

650
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 5: be able to see it through three D renderings as

651
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 5: to what it's going to look like, so they know

652
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: what they're getting before we're actually doing the construction. So

653
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 5: feel free to change your mind as we're working through it.

654
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 5: And even so I have to be careful too, because

655
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: things change during construction. Two homeowners can change their mind

656
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 5: and we just have to be flexible and work through.

657
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: It one hundred percent. Hey Gail with my Picky Painters

658
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: again that website mypickypainters dot com.

659
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: Can you talk a little.

660
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Bit about the painting services that you guys provide and

661
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: do do you guys utilize you spray a lot?

662
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: Or is it all handpaint or we do.

663
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: All hand painting. We do not spray. We also do cabinetry,

664
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 4: but we use these high density foam rollers that give

665
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: it the spray look. It's not exactly the same.

666
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

667
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: A friend of mine, really good friend of mine, they

668
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: were redoing some stuff and they said, Hey, we're going

669
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: to leave the the easiest for last. We're going to

670
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: paint her cabinets. And I go, really, you think that's

671
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Oh? Yeah, we're just gonna take these off

672
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: and and I said, trust me, I don't know for

673
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: a fact. But you know there's some guys that I

674
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: had in that home improvement show that said not easy.

675
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, no, that'll be simple. And

676
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: she called me and said, who's the guy that we

677
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: could call? This is horrible. That's how to do it yourself,

678
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: that job. If you don't know what you're doing, that's

679
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: a really difficult thing to.

680
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: Do correct because you can't just paint over your cabinet

681
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 4: try because it has you know, shiny finishes that you

682
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 4: know pretty soon you're closing your cabinet door and a

683
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: little chunk of paint will come off here. And there's

684
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: a process. I mean, it has to be done properly

685
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: or it's not going to last.

686
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll to bring something up to us, But I'm

687
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: an anti sprayer. We used the spray stuff, hen spray stuckle.

688
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: We used to do all that stuff. It's way faster

689
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: and it's way cheaper, but it's it's it's but it's wrong.

690
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't last. You ever was your house that you

691
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: see a stuckleholme r after three years been painted spray? Right?

692
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: It starts peeling, and the same thing with cabinets. You know, almonds,

693
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: you know they're good, good supplier of bars. You know,

694
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: you've got Autoli paint for cabinets and stuff. You can

695
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: use any kind of roller now with those things and

696
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: it lays on privy flat. Well, why we learn is

697
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: is if you roll in or even hand paint to

698
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: brush a cabinet, it'll last. Paint, spray paint just the

699
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: chip flip very fast, very easy. Unless you're like someplace

700
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: like you know, like color Whill where can actually put

701
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: in a room and bake it right.

702
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 4: It doesn't and Color Wheel does a great job at

703
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: spraying right right. That's that's so niche. They're so good

704
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: at it.

705
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, that the facility. Yeah, but it's like when

706
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: you do a car right. You ever see like when

707
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: Sumone ties us ray paint their own car and try

708
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: to do something right, it doesn't work out right. But

709
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: when you bake an amalon like color whethers a cabinets,

710
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: that changes things. But I was, yeah, I'm just telling

711
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: you some great products out there now. It's not like

712
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: the old days. I mean, you can roll out stuff

713
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: and it's like self level and it's you know, especially

714
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: if they're using a firm roller, I'm telling you will

715
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: not build t all difference between their cabinets and spraying.

716
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: And I garran data last way longer a spray job.

717
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: Really, Hey Gail, what type of paints do you guys

718
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: normally use?

719
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: People love Sherwin Williams and so do we. They have

720
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, they have a large quantity of different grades

721
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 4: of paint. We always use their enamel and their duration,

722
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: which are their top two. We don't ever go down

723
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: from that unless a client already has something on their

724
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: wall that we're trying to color match. Typically we will

725
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 4: use the top two tiers of their paints if people

726
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 4: want us to use the home and Lindsay or Benjamin

727
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: Moore will use that too.

728
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 6: With Sureman Williams, I love she Williams. That would be

729
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 6: your recommendation. Yes, yes, hey Big Parker, do you hear

779
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: my recommendation, ask her to sing a song before she

780
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,359

833
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: I I talked to Gail last segment. If somebody gives

834
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: you a call to come out, First of all, is

835
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: there a fee for you to come out and talk

836
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: to them about their job? And talk to me about

837
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: what that looks like. As far as when you come

838
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: when the consultation, when they call you and say, hey,

839
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: I need something for the fall, can you come out

840
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: and talk to me about it?

841
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 5: Sure, that initial phone conversation is important as well, just

842
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 5: to find out what are they trying to do, whether

843
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 5: their needs are we the right fit, are they the

844
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 5: right fit for for us? And then creating that consultation

845
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 5: where I, yes, I will go out to their house.

846
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 5: I think that's critical to get out to the house,

847
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 5: get my eyes on it. But first sit down with

848
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: them and find out what are they trying to do

849
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: and why uh and and get in really deep into

850
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 5: the weeds with the possibilities, talk about design, talk about

851
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: potential costs as well, and then after that consultation, then

852
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: I can create some type of a written proposal so

853
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 5: they know how this could come together for them schedule wise,

854
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 5: cost wise, scope of work again, potential design. It's it's

855
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 5: a good starting point.

856
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 4: Hey.

857
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: The first segment, Bingo brought up how people fight with

858
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: with giving the budget. When when somebody asks you how

859
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: early in the in in in the process with you

860
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: do you want to find out what a true budget is.

861
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 5: It depends on the project and the scope of work.

862
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 5: Maybe before I even go out to the house, I

863
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 5: want to find out a budget, but I don't want

864
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 5: to push that. I want to push more of their

865
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 5: what their needs are getting out to their house even then,

866
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 5: because like Bingo said, yes, someone their budget and they

867
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 5: might say seventy five thousand when it really should be

868
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand, and that's just them saying a number.

869
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 5: And then once you find that number, you can work

870
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 5: with that and then tell them what it's really going

871
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 5: to take to do their project and then let them

872
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 5: either grow their budget or let's reduce the scope of work.

873
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 5: So budget is an issue, but it can be cleared up.

874
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, dispecial example, we had a black man and bathub, right,

875
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: those eighty some thousand dollars for that, right right, and

876
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 2: he says, well, how do reduce the budget. I'll get

877
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: a redder tub.

878
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 6: You know.

879
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly that's a great point because do you remember

880
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: that when he talked about that and they said, well

881
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: the budget so Hi, well the bathtub is eighty thousand dollars.

882
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 7: Like, let's you know, let's let's get a regular bath

883
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 7: we can from coler So we thought, okay, so what anyways?

884
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 7: I know doing a bathtub we came from coler Right,

885
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 7: Apparently they're not made in coler I made in someplace

886
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 7: and that whole Panama Canal was stuck. This customer, is

887
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 7: this going livid? Or does eighty thousand dollars just sitting there?

888
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's options and phases that we can look at

889
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 5: to either meet a budget or make sure that we

890
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 5: can still do their master plan. But maybe it's a

891
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 5: two year three year plan.

892
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: Well that's a great point, and that was my next

893
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: question if people wanted to do this in pieces. Normally,

894
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: if if you can do it all at once, you're

895
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: going to save yourself overall. You'll save some money with that.

896
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: But if they can't and they want to do you know,

897
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: this part of the house this year, that part of

898
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: the house next year, you're certainly open for that.

899
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 5: Oh, it's been very common that clients will do that,

900
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 5: and it's an issue on finances, maybe a a bonus

901
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 5: they're getting in twenty twenty, you know, the next year

902
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 5: twenty seven, So they will face things and work it

903
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 5: with different sections based on their there.

904
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: We had a customer actually say, hey, we just want

905
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: to do this the front wall this year ver Stuckle

906
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: and then and our kids are graduating from college, so

907
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: we'll plenty of money to when you get I.

908
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: I yeah, I know that feel. And for sure, hey, Gail,

909
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: do you guys do commercial workers? It all residential?

910
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 4: We have done some commercial work too. I mean again,

911
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 4: we do not spray. So if it's a great, big,

912
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: you know, brand new building that wants someone to come

913
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 4: in and do a fast spray job, that's not us.

914
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: But if someone calls us and they say, hey, you

Speaker 1: all the time, a lot. Do you know people, I've

921
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: not met many people that enjoy painting right, and they

922
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: enjoy it and you you light up when you talk

Speaker 5: And prep work that's the tough part. The prep work.

927
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 4: Work is even art. I mean there's an art to

928
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 4: putting cock, you know, between the wall and the base board,

929
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 4: and it makes itch and a hassle look beautiful.

930
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: And the tape and right, we don't tape. You don't tap.

931
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 4: No, everyone, everyone that I have on my staff, they

932
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 4: are all artsy people and they all know how to

933
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: make beautiful straight lines and so so we don't have

934
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 4: to tape.

935
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: We actually talked in our company too. We see if

936
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: someone starts taping off the moldings and stuff instead of

937
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: cutting them in, we don't want them because it happens,

938
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 2: it oozes through and it makes a worry.

939
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 4: A worse right then when it and then when you

940
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 4: know the person pulls the tape off, maybe a little

941
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 4: bit too soon before it's drive. Then you've got these

942
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 4: little is going up there.

943
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: Oh trust me, Yeah, no, no, I know all about those,

944
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: the blue tape pulling off way too early. My brother

945
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: John's partner, Steve, was a painter, and he's not doing

946
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: much of that anymore. But he came out and he

947
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: worked for a lot of people at the other radio

948
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: station I worked at. Because one woman, Sue Schmid, asked

949
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: me about this and I said, hey, Steve can do that.

950
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: And what she would do is go on vacation twice

951
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: a year and she would call him and say, hey,

952
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: here's my key, can we do the lower the lower

953
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: level bathroom, and here's the color I'm looking for? And

954
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: she would leave and come back and she would be like, Michael,

955
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I love coming back for vacation knowing that

956
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: he was there. But that's how he is so steady

957
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: with his hand. Pretty remarkable watching it.

958
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: We have people also that like when they're going on vacation,

959
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: they'll call us in, especially our repeat customers. We have

960
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 4: a lot of repeat customers again, people that will do

961
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 4: things in phases. They come in with a big dream,

962
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 4: can you do our whole house and it's you know,

963
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 4: it's expensive to have your whole house repainted. They don't

964
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 4: realize that, Oh I didn't see that crack here. I

965
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: didn't notice that the plaster was separating on this.

966
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: People don't realize. You said, you know, a sterowell can

967
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: cost the same just three bedrooms, and people don't realize

968
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: that's just the hallway. Okay, that stairwell is tough. Yeah.

969
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot more.

970
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 3: Work involved and having the right equipment correct. I mean

971
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: that's what you know.

972
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Not to go to a big box store and spend

973
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: six bucks on brushes, right, you got to have the

974
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: right equipment.

975
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: I think we do this.

976
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: We have very expensive brushes. We don't use you know,

977
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 4: the lower brand, trust We're not doing that. We've got

978
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 4: really really good brushes. And my team they know if

979
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: they need something, I'm all for it. If you feel

980
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 4: like that's going to make you do your job better,

981
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 4: please just go get it and we'll pay for it,

982
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 4: no problem.

983
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: Hey, Jim year one with Brookfield Design Remodel. This would

984
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: be the time I think if somebody has some interest

988

989
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: That's how I think this business is going to go.

990
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: He is Jim Pitson with Brookfield Design Remodel LLC. Now

991
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,000

Speaker 3: Yeah?

996
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 5: Good point. Schedule is an issue where I always tell

997
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 5: people it's anywhere from eight months to a year from

998
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 5: that initial consultation through design to doing construction. We're out

999
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 5: of your house plan on at least eight months to

1000
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 5: maybe even a year, depending on how big of a

1001
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 5: project it is.

1002
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,400

1003
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: a year, right, He's all right, Yeah, He's just he's

1004
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: just okay. Your company is a little bit shorter, right,

1005
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to think eight months to

1006
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: a year.

1007
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 4: No, no, because we're not going through all the design

1008
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 4: process and the specs and selections and all of that stuff.
