The Ideal Siding Story
After the 2007 housing crisis, a close friend of mine, who was then a siding installer, saw his income slashed in half, leaving him struggling to support his family. When I discovered the massive gap between what companies charged homeowners and what they actually paid their crews, I knew the industry needed a change.
Utilizing my degrees in Computer Science and Finance, I revamped the traditional business model to ensure homeowners pay 30% less while crews earn over 50% more. First proven in Vancouver, this successful strategy is now expanding across North America through our franchise system.
