Millionaire University This Guy SLAYS High End Rehabs With Fat Margins! (Do this NOW!!) (Part 1/2)
#850 What if the secret to dominating the luxury renovation market had nothing to do with construction experience at all? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Justin Dickinson of Cousins Co. Renovations in Portland, Maine to explore how he built a thriving luxury renovation business from the ground up — with no prior construction experience and no contractor's license. Justin shares how relentless communication and upfront expectation-setting have become the foundation of his client relationships, why eliminating surprises is non-negotiable on every project, and how a profit-sharing model has helped him build a loyal team with zero employee turnover. He also breaks down his approach to working with subcontractors, the power of referrals in a trust-driven industry, and how starting small allowed Cousins Co. to grow steadily without overextending!
What we discuss with Justin:
+ Starting with no contractor's license
+ Communication as the foundation of trust
+ Setting expectations from day one
+ Eliminating surprises at all costs
+ The quality-time-cost triangle
+ Starting small and scaling slowly
+ Building via referrals in Maine
+ Profit sharing to attract top talent
+ Zero employee turnover since day one
+ Treating subcontractors like team members
Thank you, Justin!
