The Renovation Coach Concept
In 2004 we surveyed homeowners who had hired a remodeler or builder and discovered that many of the new construction and remodeling experiences were negative for many of the homeowners. Data showed this was attributed to poor communication, mismanaged expectations by both parties, weak due diligence by homeowners and a lack of formal Construction Management Systems within the contractors business. So we thought - what if there was a company who could guide homeowners on planning to ensure a positive contractor experience and assisted contractors with business management thru coaching on best practices for remodeling sales, systems, and service to increase profits & raving fans? Renovation Coach is that company!
The Renovation Coach System
Renovation Coach is more relevant today than ever. Today's challenging market has homeowners hiring inexperienced contractors, doing more projects on their own (DIY) and contractors struggling to make sales putting their businesses and clients at risk. Through our construction advisory services, homeowners gain assistance with our Remodeling Project Planner, providing guidance, planning and organizational tools to effectively manage any project.
Renovation Coach provides contractors assistance with online coaching, email marketing solutions, & pre-packaged forms for sales, design to contract, and production management. These processes are instrumental for managing any remodeling or new home construction project. Renovation Coach helps your remodeling business profit and increases referrals.

Case Study 3 - Consultant to Contractor
“I have known Jesse for over 10 years and have always considered him to be one of the most professionally oriented people in the remodeling industry. I have reccommended him to many of my clients for his consulting services and he has proven worth every hour and dollar the clients spent.
He is professional, thorough, detail oriented and extremely knowledgeable. He listens well, which makes him a very good mediator between disputing parties, and is excellent at coming up with creative solutions to challenging problems. Whether you are a general contractor, trade contractor, supplier, or homeowner, he is certainly the resource that can help you find a solution to your business or home needs. Danny Feig-Sandoval/CEO

“Jesse is extremely trustworthy. His work ethic and speed in which he completed projects always exceeded my expectations. His industry knowledge and attention to detail is also exceptional. Our company, Distinctive Remodeling Solutions, vastly improved with Jesse's help. Our customer service and product quality both improved through the systems we developed and integrated while Jesse was here. He helped us to set the bar even higher as we continue to grow the business. Jesse worked within our firm as a business coach/consultant for well over 1-year. We expect to bring Jesse back for future projects in the coming years.”

Case Study 1 - Dispute Resolution
“Jesse is a true professional. In a dispute with our contractor during a major home renovation we hired Jesse to provide an objective opinion on the project issues and required remedies. Jesse exceeded our expectations by finding the cause of the problems (not only what they were but why they happened) and outlined what was needed to correct them. He provided expert testimony during our arbitration session that enabled us to get the project finished. He was fair and pointed out where we made mistakes. Being in the mortgage finance industry I have recommeded Jesse to my clients and will continue to do so.
