Not all contractors are built the same, and hiring the wrong one can lead to budget blowouts, poor craftsmanship, and broken promises. In this episode of The Real Build, I sit down with Quaid Houskeeper, owner of Q&R Construction Services Inc., a trusted Salem, Oregon-based company specializing in residential and commercial remodeling projects. From custom homes and remodels to fences, decks, and more, Quaid and his team are dedicated to turning clients’ visions into reality with integrity, transparency, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Quaid’s journey in construction is built on experience, service, and trust—before he asks someone to do a job, he makes sure he knows how to do it himself. In this episode, we dive deep into some of the biggest problems in the industry, including:
✅ The importance of fighting for your customer—how to ensure you’re getting exactly what you pay for
✅ The dangers of hiring the cheapest bid—why cutting corners always cost you more in the long run
✅ Why learning the trades matters—how true professionals set themselves apart from “paper contractors”
✅ Following others and learning from the best—how great builders continuously improve
✅ Caring for the customer beyond the contract—why long-term relationships matter more than short-term profits
If you’re planning a build, remodel, or just want to know how to find a contractor you can trust, this episode is a must-listen.
