    2025/06/03

    The contractor didn’t show? Said they’d start Monday—and vanished? Ugh! Homeowners deal with these lies every day.

    In this episode, I call out the most common lies contractors use to buy time, dodge accountability, or land the job. From "we're on our way" to "everything's included," I show you how to read between the lines. I also break down the red flags, give you the right questions to ask, and explain why vague timelines and fake guarantees are costing you more than just money.

  • What Homeowners Must Know Before Building Decks with Chris Quackenbush
    2025/04/01
    A great deck can turn your backyard into a whole new space—one where you relax, work, entertain, and enjoy every season. In this episode, Chris Quackenbush, the Design and Sales Consultant at Coy Construction, covers all the key stuff homeowners need to know before building a deck—design tips, material selection, timing, permits, costs, and the value of hiring a solid contractor. He puts it straight: “Most good contractors are already booked out for 8 to 10 weeks, so the sooner you start planning, the better.” We talk a lot about composite decking, especially Trex. It’s low maintenance, looks amazing, and lasts through tough Michigan winters. “Trex is made of 90% recycled plastic and 10% recycled hardwood,” Chris explains. No staining, no sealing, and it comes with a 25- to 50-year warranty. That’s a win in my book. Whether you’re building something simple or going big with built-in seating and lighting, having a plan—and the right pro—makes all the difference. Looking to build a beautiful deck without all the headaches? Hit play to get the inside scoop to save money and time, and enjoy your backyard this year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Quackenbush is the Design and Sales Consultant at Coy Construction, the leading deck builder serving Oakland, Livingston, Wayne County, and Northern Michigan. With years of experience guiding homeowners through the deck-building process, Chris specializes in turning backyard visions into stunning outdoor retreats.
