Having been in the industry for over 41 years and worked on hundreds of projects ranging from small jobs to building new homes, I’ve seen my share of the good, the bad, and the ugly. My industry has more than its fair share of horror stories, and I recently read that we’re considered just a step up from used car salespeople.
