With our home being the single biggest purchase we ever make it is very important to choose a builder that is right. We only do this one or twice in our lives so it is easy to make mistakes.
In the podcast today Ethan talks with Paul Dashevsky and Jon Grishpul who have started a company called GreatBuildz. The goal of the company is to connect homeowners with reliable, pre-vetted contractors.
In this interview, Ethan asks some tough questions on what to look for in a contractor. In addition, Paul and Jon created a downloadable checklist “How To Choose A Contractor” and they’re making it available to listeners of the show. So go to this link to get your copy.
