Remodelers On The Rise is a practical business-coaching show aimed squarely at remodeling company owners. It talks about the real mess of growth: scattered projects, fuzzy financials, uneven systems, weak follow-through, and the pressure of trying to lead while still putting out fires. The show is not especially polished, and that is part of its usefulness. It sounds like a working conversation. Episodes move quickly from banter into something a remodeler can apply, such as tracking simple KPIs, tightening job costing, using purchase orders, improving marketing, or explaining the value of full-service design-build work. The advice is direct. When a job goes sideways, the show pushes owners to learn from it, document the cause, and prevent the same mistake next time. Guest conversations add range without drifting far from the operator's chair. Matt Jenkins talks through culture, team learning, and lessons from a larger remodeling organization. Scott Collins brings the challenge of selling a stronger design-build story. Dr Joshua Straub appears in a conversation that connects marriage, life, and business pressure. Other episodes look at faith, generosity, focus, and the temptation to let money or noise drive the company. The show also has a strong implementation streak. It does not treat listening as the end goal. The recurring nudge is to pick something, use it, and stop hiding behind more ideas. That gives the show a coaching-room feel rather than a trade-news feel. Sponsor reads and resource mentions appear often, including tools and events for remodelers, but the main current is still advice for making the business easier to understand and lead. It is encouraging without being soft. It reminds owners to celebrate progress, then asks what they are going to do next.
Made for: For remodeling company owners and leaders who want practical help with operations, pricing, production, marketing, accountability, and the personal weight of running the business.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the mix of plainspoken coaching and real remodeler stories. The show keeps pulling broad business advice back to job sites, estimates, team meetings, client expectations, and owner habits.
