Troy also reveals why most "lifetime" warranties are actually just marketing.

Action takeaways: pricing with discipline, strategic material sourcing, documenting installs, and unifying with solid operators to increase EBITDA and exit options. Learn how to evaluate offers, avoid slow-pay partnerships, and the simple phrase that saves thousands. Whether you own a home, run a crew, or just hate getting hustled, this episode shows how to keep more money—and more leverage—on your side.
