In this episode of Remodeling Perspectives, we tackle the elephant in the room: Why don’t people trust contractors? With nearly 70% of homeowners reporting dissatisfaction or distrust, we explore the root causes behind this mistrust in the remodeling and home renovation industry. Is it a lack of communication? Poor performance? Or is it the unpredictable nature of construction projects?

Focusing on local and regional contractors—from the solo "Chuck in a truck" operations to midsize companies with recognizable brands—we dive into the issues homeowners face when hiring remodelers. We discuss the importance of clear communication, realistic expectation-setting, and transparent pricing to avoid common problems like unexpected project costs, delays, and poor workmanship.

If you’re a homeowner, this episode will give you practical tips on how to choose the right contractor, protect yourself during a renovation, and avoid falling into common pitfalls. For contractors, we’ll share insights on how to rebuild trust, improve client relationships, and stand out in an industry that’s often slow to change.

Whether you're planning a major home remodel or simply curious about the construction industry, this episode is packed with actionable advice on navigating the renovation process, finding trustworthy contractors, and creating better outcomes for everyone involved.
