Build Perspectives Podcast

What is the most important thing we aren't talking about in the building industry? From Tim Hamilton's (owner at Dixie Exteriors and Distribution) perspective we are missing quality more than anything else.

Tim is third generation in the exterior cladding installation and distribution segment of the building industry. His company distributes and installs cladding throughout the United States, though based in Louisville, KY.

He and his right hand man Justin Mosteller, discuss the current state in the industry and measures they're taking to ensure their business thrives and comes through the pandemic even stronger than before.
