Builder/Remodeler

The Build Show is THE best way to stay on top of the latest in Building Science and Building Ethics!
As a high end custom remodeling contractor for the past 8 years, who lives and works in one of the most demanding markets in America (Bend, OR), I have had a first hand view of how poorly homes have been built, and sadly, are still built.
It can and should be done better.
I started my own company to have an opportunity to do things better, and change the way people perceive contractors. And now I’m starting a custom building company as well. Thanks to Matt, and Company, I have changed the way I approach every job, every situation, and every client. The Build Show Podcast/Network is a must listen for anyone in the trades and anyone who owns a home.

Awesome Building Science Podcast

The Build Show is a must-listen podcast for any homeowner looking to deepen their understanding of building science and construction. As a non-contractor who is passionate about learning the ins and outs of the building process, this podcast is a treasure trove of valuable insights and knowledge.

Wonderful education

I’m not a contractor or professional, I’m a homeowner who had mold exposure and is looking to create a healthy home. Some things may go over my head, but I’m so appreciative of this free education on what I should be looking for. Hiring consultants adds up. The Build Show helps me understand the basics. Thank you for your work!
