My tenant just texted me this video asking me if it’s normal for his plumbing to short out. I told him to unplug his sink and plug it back in. Never heard back from him but you better believe I will send him a $499 invoice for a service call.

I don’t normally give away my tricks of the trade but I’m feeling generous today. If you’re a DIYer, this is a great tip to save a few bucks when swapping out an outlet. When the plastic covering melts and burns your house down, you’ll call me to build a new home. Save $2 now, spend $2,000,000 later with me.

Stopped by one of our 1,400 sf new builds today. Did a quick plumbing check and couldn’t believe my eyes. My plumber skipped the Teflon tape on the water heater supply lines. Hard to sell homes at $875k without the “teff tape”, as we call it in the biz. Last thing I need is a tarnished reputation.

A lesson for my tenants who think they can get away with not paying rent. When you go out and get drunk over the weekend my crew will show up and remove the stairs to your apartment. We will then charge 150%/day interest on unpaid rent until we square up. Mess with the bull you get the horns.

When you’re building a new home, time is money. That’s why I mobilize my concrete crew without the proper PPE so they can get the job done quicker. Best thing about fingers is, you have more than 1 to spare.

Things got heated last night during our weekly HOA meeting. Karen bought a 800 sf ranch 40 yrs ago for $13,000 and doesn’t like all the riff raff from our development across the street. We just leased out 275 condos to low income tenants at $3,150/mo + parking and she doesn’t like the Honda Civic that parks in front of her house. She’ll be thrilled when she finds out we just approved plans for a bus stop 3 feet from her mailbox.

You guys all complain about HOAs but I’ll tell ya what. You would never see this kind of riffraff in my communities. For $1,800/mo we will ensure all homes are the same shade of beige and fine you for having too many leaves in your yard.

Nobody can touch my amish carpenters. They are simply too good. This was a custom staircase with a 16”rise and 6” run for a loft. Perfect for a tight space with a big budget. These custom stairs don’t come cheap at $84,000.

If you live in a MHB neighborhood, our HOA bylaws clearly state a 5-guest MAX limitation this Thanksgiving. If you have so much as an infant as a 6th guest, you will be fined into oblivion. As the kid’s say: f*ck around and find out.

We’re building a 280 home subdivision in Buffalo, NY. To prepare for the harsh winters we’ve installed skid steer trax on all of our ladders. We baked in an additional $98k into each home price to cover the cost of the Ladder Trax™. This way our subs never have to get off the ladder to finish their work.

I own a plumbing company and we do a lot of natural gas work for competitor builders. I always instruct my crew to back off the union fittings 1/4 turn when they complete the job. This way they won’t pass inspection and will need to hire us to come out again to fix the gas leak. With $299 service calls, this is how I earn higher margins than most subs and handicap the competition.

You want your builder and their subs to be problem solvers. That’s why my HVAC tech ratchet straps (2) 20’ ladders together to reach 40’ heights. Other contractors would just tell you they can’t do the work. Not us. We charge 200% premiums for this level of critical thinking.

Best part about being a builder? Locking in $500/mo service contracts just to get priority. This lady pays me $500/mo so I come out within 3 days of her call. Then I charge $900/hr to replace the cabinet door bumpers. If you’re a builder and you’re broke, that’s on you.

Did you know the average home owner pays an additional $892/yr on their electrical bill due to heat loss at their breaker box? Very sad reality of how most homes are built these days. That’s why we use spray foam inside of the breaker box to ensure zero heat loss in the home. Starting at $892/box.

One of my A+ tenants, Peggy is demonstrating exactly what to do when a pipe bursts in your home. When your (my) home is flooding, stay calm and take your phone out to begin filming the catastrophe. Whatever you do, don’t turn the water main off. That would be disastrous.

Apparently, the new neighbors where we are building new luxury apartments are less than thrilled with the runoff during construction. Sorry Karen, like where else would you like me to grade the parking lots??? Your backyard was path of least resistance which means more money in my pocket. The nerve of some people, I’ll tell ya.

Client wanted a hot tub in their backyard. We don’t typically do hot tubs so I threw $47,000 on the estimate and the homeowner accepted. So I called up my best sub, Vik who I know could figure it out. He got the 220v line run this morning in 2 hours. Hot tub install is going to be seriously profitable.
