In this episode of the podcast I speak with Jerry Beerman of Alluring Glass.
Jerry tells us how he started the company, and how he runs one of the most successful shower glass companies in the Greater Cincinnat area without ever personally installing a piece of glass himself.
We explore how he helps his clients discover the answers for pain points in their bussinesses, and how that separates him from the competition.

Do I need to replace my treated framing before I install my composite decking? This is one of the most asked questions I receive when it comes to composite decking.
In today's episode, I speak with Joe Hagen of All Decked Out to get his insight on the question of resurfacing or reframing your existing deck structure.
If you are considering the large investment of composite decking you are going to want to listen to this episode.
I hope everyone is staying healthy and making the most of things during these difficult times.

LP® SmartSide® products feature engineered wood strand technology that offers superior protection against hail, wind, moisture, fungal decay, and termites.
LP Outdoor Building Solutions is a unique collection of engineered wood building products designed specifically for use in sheds, barns, and outdoor structures. These products provide lasting durability, beautiful finishes and style options far beyond those of your typical backyard storage sheds, so your structure will be both aesthetically pleasing and exceptionally practical.
Product Information: We specifically use and recommend acrylic stucco finishes manufactured by Stuc-O-Flex and Sto Corp when coating foundations. This is because of the high polymer content of these products. Both products are made in the USA, are chemically resistant water-based materials comprised of acrylic polymers, have excellent color consistency and resistant to fading. They are freeze/thaw stable when cured as well as also being extremely elastic materials. This means that they will stretch somewhat if your home settles.

Hughes Construction Company was started in 2004 by Tyler Hughes, the current owner, and operator of the company. Tyler got his start like most people in the industry, as a laborer. He was able to pick up skills from various co-workers along the way and eventually enabled him to jump-start Hughes Construction Company. Tyler attended Archbishop Moeller High School in Montgomery Ohio and continued his education at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Engineering and Applied Science. One of the primary reasons Hughes Construction has been so successful in the foundation repair industry is Tyler’s engineering background. His commitment to education is evident and continues to this day by consistently staying ahead of the industry on new means and methods of construction.
