EPISODE Notes

Wade and Ty Crowther build custom renovations and decks in the Arizona mountains. After hitting a rock-bottom week with zero cash flow, they realized acting as the daily project manager left them zero time to chase high-margin contracts.

In this episode, Wade and Ty detail how they stepped back to fix their margins. They share the exact roadmap used to transition a 54-year-old veteran foreman off the tools and into management. You will learn why relying strictly on word of mouth leaves your pipeline vulnerable and how shooting simple site videos closes premium clients.

They also break down the jump from contractor to developer. Wade and Ty reveal how they launched a dedicated holdings company to fund their own private builds and fully retire in ten years.
