Get To Know Josh King, Part 1 | You Ask, The PROs Answer | Ep.48

Hosts: Cole Willig, Aaron Rodgers

Guest: Josh King

Join Aaron Rodgers as he sits down with Josh King, a familiar face from "King's Corner" and a previous Season 1 episode where he discussed the role of a project coordinator/manager. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Josh dives into his extensive pre-Pro Exteriors work experience, highlighting his background in various construction fields like concrete, masonry, framing, welding, and fabrication. He shares how a desire for less travel and more family time led him to Pro Exteriors.

Josh provides an insightful look into the multifaceted role of a Project Manager, emphasizing that it's far from "simple." He discusses the daily responsibilities, from managing crews and materials to scheduling and anticipating potential issues. A key focus of this episode is the often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of customer service in Josh's role, from interacting with happy clients to navigating more challenging situations.

The conversation also touches on Josh's preferred projects, with roofing, decks/porches, and windows making his top three. He shares his appreciation for Brava tiles, a recycled plastic roofing material, highlighting its aesthetic appeal and environmental benefits despite its more intricate installation process.

• Josh's Background: Learn about Josh's diverse construction experience before joining Pro Exteriors, including an interesting anecdote about his wedding vows and electrical work!

• Project Management Realities: Discover the complexities of a Project Manager's day, which extends far beyond basic supervision to include forecasting and problem remediation.

• Customer Service is King: Understand the significant role customer service plays in Josh's daily interactions with clients, crews, and suppliers.
