In this episode of Remodelers on the Rise, Kyle sits down with Rob Fisher of Fisher Custom Builders for a refreshingly honest look at what it’s like to start and grow a remodeling business from the ground up. Just three years in, Rob shares what sparked his entrepreneurial journey, the hard (and expensive) lessons he’s learned about pricing and profit margins, and the steps he’s taking to build a business that runs without him on-site every day.

From mentorship and mindset to systems, sales, and stepping back from the tools, this conversation is packed with insights for any remodeler in the trenches asking, “Am I doing this right?” Spoiler: You’re not alone—and Rob proves it.
