Why Work With John?
Simply put, we speak the same language...
- I started wearing a tool belt as a carpenter's helper in 1995 and started my own remodeling company in 1996.
- I am a licensed residential contractor in the state of Georgia
- I have completed over 20 million dollars worth of remodeling projects
- I have built multiple homes from the ground up in the 1.5 million dollar price range not including land.
- There are no secrets to success in this industry. If there was a secret it would be how to price jobs effectively and make money in this industry because very few people, percentage wise, actually make a good living in the remodeling industry.
- I went from giving free estimates to getting paid to write construction contracts and I can teach you to do the same
- I went from guessing what it would cost to build jobs to having a process for writing a construction contract.
- I went from doing the estimating to having an estimator. More on that here John Rogers Story
- I went from 1 truck Chuck to a team of 5-6 doing 1.5-1.9 million a year with a 40%+ margin. That means we marked-up our jobs over 67%.

Things to consider if you think
that markup sounds crazy?
- Anyone can sell cheap work
- You have to improve your sales skills to sell more expensive work
- You have to have an estimating system, not a guessing system
- You have to deliver a quality experience to the client in order to get these mark-ups
Predictable profitability is the goal
Predictable profitability requires:
- A sales process
- An estimating system
- Effective project management
- A master schedule
- A job schedule
- Easy to understand and accurate job cost reports
- Easy to understand P and L
- Knowing all your number and how they are derived
It takes time to master all of these components of a successful remodeling company, the sooner you get started the quicker you get there.
