Hard Money

We brought Los Angeles style and Finnish to the Covina suburbs for a fraction of the price

Lessons learned? Challenges?

1. Don't pay anyone upfront
2. price shop for all Finnish's
3. talk about getting more projects to you subs so they give you a better price
4. make a home depot Lowe's etc account so they email you every receipt
5. buy a dump trailer you'll save a lot of $ in material delivery and dump costs
