Matt welcomes second-generation builder and fellow Build Expert™, Stephanie Dailey to unpack the unexpected truths behind a recent remodel project outside Salt Lake City. Reflecting on Build Original Series®, That '70s Remodel, Stephanie shares the hidden challenges of bringing a dated home up to modern performance and code—from termite damage and cardboard sheathing to insulation gaps and seismic shear reinforcements. Together, they discuss how remodel assumptions can quickly shift budgets, why owner-builds often fall short, and how climate zone considerations drive structural decisions. This episode is packed with insight for builders, remodelers, and homeowners alike navigating the murky waters of existing homes.
