Josh describes, in detail, how each question affects him in his business and how each question will affect homeowners during their process.  Here’s what Josh had to say… Before we get into the questions, I want to remind homeowners of something that’s easily forgotten in the whirlwind process of remodeling: you are hiring an expert to perform a service.
