Remodeling runs deeps in this week’s episode. We sit down with Steve Nash of Upscale Remodeling in Freeville, New York. Steve is a third-generation remodeling contractor, so it’s safe to say that remodeling is in his blood. Steve worked with his father throughout his childhood right through high school and then again after college. It was through these years of hard work that he birthed Upscale Remodeling’s guiding principle: “never compromise, never cut corners”. It has been more than two-and-a-half decades since Upscale Remodeling was first established and they are still just as unwilling to compromise on their quality or our construction methods as they were on day one.
