Tom Kelly, Neil Kelly A: We need more qualified and trained carpenters. There are people coming up that have no skills, and other carpenters who are coming over from production new construction that don t understand the intricacies of remodeling within a finished home or how to work in the confined spaces of a city. Ari Fingeroth, Federalist Builders A: With the a company that is 37 years strong, we have had amazing loyalty from our employees; we are starting to see some of them begin to retire/ semi-retire. With the uptick in the market and the desire of our clients to have their project done as soon as possible, we need people! It has been quite a challenge to find the caliber of employee that our clients expect from us. This has made us realize we have to constantly be looking for great talent, even if we don t think we re in need. Cale Kliethermes, Kliethermes Homes & Remodeling A: Our greatest need is finding qualified clients that are looking for our services who value what we deliver and are willing to pay for it. Dolores Davis, CG&S Design Build What is the remodeling industry s greatest need? A: Professionalism! Many home remodeling contractors start off as the little guy with little business knowledge. It can be a steep learning curve when it comes to creating and running a successful and viable remodeling company. Too often inexperienced contractors do not fully understand their true costs and charge too little for their services. What looks like a great deal from the client s Q: perspective can quickly turn into broken promises and a poor experience for both parties. As an industry we have made progress, but we still have to find ways to educate the buying public about how to select a quality contractor and continue to provide contractors with resources for improving their understanding of creating and running a professional remodeling business. Even with all the training and resources available, it still boils down to good people doing business with good core values to guide them. Once you have that, the other stuff can easily fall into place with a little hard work. Daniel J Hurst, Hurst Design Build Remodeling A: The workforce in our industry, especially in field personnel, is no different than the rest of the country s; it is aging and there aren t enough young people coming up behind them who have the work ethic and desire to be in this industry. As an industry we need to work together with trade and vocational schools to raise the awareness of young people who are mechanically inclined that they can make a great living in our industry with full benefits including 401(k) plans. We hire the best person for any opening we have, and while 15 years ago that many times was someone in their early 30s or late 20s, it is not the case in today s labor market. Most of our hires have been in their mid 40s or older. As a second-generation operator of our company, we have great concern of being able to have really talented people still on our team in 10 to15 years who can still perform the difficult tasks in our industry.
