Episode 88: Remodel or Tear it Down?

On this week's episode of The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Tim Hill go deep into when it's better to remodel or tear it down and start over.

They look at the pros and cons of remodeling, how the constraints of a remodel can sometimes work as a benefit, and how those same limits can work against you. They also discuss some unique issues that builders must consider for remodeling projects.

Matt and Tim talk about the signs that a remodel should be a start-over, how to help clients make informed decisions, and how to communicate cost vs. time value.

Listen in as Matt and Tim share stories of their own homes and some of the many projects they've worked on in their combined sixty-plus years of industry experience.
