Are You Running a Business or Just an Expensive Hobby?
Let’s face it: Too many remodelers are broke, burnt out, and barely keeping their heads above water. They’re losing jobs to competitors who don’t deserve to win, working themselves into the ground, and wondering why they’re not making any real money. If that sounds like you, it’s time for a reality check.
On Episode 013 of The Hack Hour, we’re diving deep into the uncomfortable truth about why so many remodelers are failing—and how to fix it. The hard truth? If your business isn’t thriving in today’s remodeling market, the problem isn’t the economy, the competition, or your clients. The problem is you.
Why Remodelers Are Struggling
Here’s the brutal reality: Most remodelers don’t actually run businesses. They’ve created a glorified job for themselves, one that drains their time, energy, and bank account.
If you’re:
Chasing low-quality leads that never pan out,
Losing jobs to competitors who don’t do half as good a job as you do,
Skipping paychecks just to keep the lights on,
Running every project by the seat of your pants,
then you’re not running a business—you’re running yourself into the ground.
And the worst part? It doesn’t have to be this way.
Why It’s Easier Than Ever to Win
The remodeling industry has never been more ripe for success. Demand is sky-high. Homeowners are desperate for professionals they can trust. And let’s be honest—the competition is, in many cases, downright pathetic.
So why are so many remodelers struggling? Because they’re missing the critical systems and processes that turn a hustle into a scalable, profitable business.
To thrive, you need:
A predictable system for generating high-quality leads.
A professional sales process that closes deals without haggling.
Streamlined project management that keeps clients happy and jobs profitable.
A referral engine that turns happy clients into repeat business and new opportunities.
Without these, you’ll stay stuck, struggling to survive in an industry where you should be thriving.
How to Fix It
The good news? Fixing your business isn’t rocket science. It’s about doing the work and following a proven framework that works.
Leads, Leads, Leads:
Stop wasting time on tire-kickers. Create a system that attracts serious clients who are ready to invest in quality work.
Close Like a Pro:
Most remodelers fail at sales because they skip the process. A solid sales framework doesn’t just sell the job—it sells you as the obvious choice.
Run Projects Like a Business:
Winging it isn’t good enough. Implement systems for scheduling, managing subcontractors, and keeping jobs on track.
Leverage Referrals:
Your best source of new business is happy clients. Turn every finished job into a marketing engine for the next one.
A Personal Story
I’ll be honest: I’ve been where you are. I’ve hustled from job to job, barely making ends meet, and wondering why I was losing to competitors I knew weren’t even in the same league.
It wasn’t until I got real with myself—until I admitted that I wasn’t running a real business—that things started to change. I stopped blaming the competition and started fixing my own systems. Within six months, I had transformed my business into a machine that brought in the right clients, closed the right deals, and made every project more profitable.
