When your remodeling crew outgrows your control — what happens next?
Wesley got back on the truck and what he found forced a major reset.
This episode is a brutally honest breakdown of what goes wrong when expectations aren’t set, when hours aren’t tracked, and when foremen (and apprentices) operate without a clear plan.
Jay and Wes walk through the accountability chain — from the field, to the foreman, to the office — and how to put it back in place before the business bleeds out.
🧱 Topics Covered:
— What Wesley found when he shadowed his own crew
— The missing “hours allowed” problem
— Why job costing must start on paper
— How to fix remodeling ops before they crash
— Holding your team (and yourself) accountable
