In this episode, Aaron and Josh King (Pro Exterior's Project Coordinator) dive deep into the unexpected challenges that can arise during exterior home renovation projects and share some red flags they look out for.

~Navigating Project Nightmares: Aaron and Josh kick off the discussion by reminiscing about some "nightmare situations" they've encountered on the job.

~Handling Unexpected Problems:Team Communication: The crew discusses the issue first to identify potential ripple effects (e.g., needing additional J-channel or siding due to extra roof layers).

~Commitment to Quality: Despite the challenges, the goal is always to complete the job appropriately and to code, even if it requires extra effort.

~Contractor Red Flags (from the PROs' Perspective): Josh shares some "red flags" he looks for when arriving at a job site, which can indicate a potentially difficult project or client.

~Design Trends and Products the PROs Wish Would Disappear: The conversation shifts to exterior design trends and products that Josh and Aaron aren't particularly fond of.

~Products/Trends They Dislike: Tearing Off Cedar Siding: While aesthetically pleasing when installed, removing old cedar siding is a dusty, hot, and labor-intensive nightmare, especially in multiple layers.

~Design Elements They Appreciate: Barndominiums (Done Right): Both Aaron and Josh appreciate barndominiums that effectively blend the "coldness" of metal roofing and siding with the "warmth" of natural wood elements like chunky columns and headers, creating a unique and appealing aesthetic.
