Key Quotes from Episode

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1660845552240{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

• Anyone can do what we do as a company but few have the follow-through to achieve it and continue to maintain those standards over the years.
• Every client wants you to be completely honest with them, and set expectations and manage those expectations throughout the course of the project.
• Everyone wants to make their house their paradise now—their little sanctuary. People are definitely investing more into what they care about in their homes and not waiting till later.
• Quality is never an accident. It’s always the result of intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
