PULSE
April 2025 permit data confirms the remodel surge is real. The operators who have full April calendars from Q1 referrals will capture the May and June downstream demand. The operators who are still filling April are going to miss the secondary demand cycle entirely.
FOUNDERS
Youngs Cabinet Refinishing's decision to decline work that doesn't meet their quality standard during a demand surge is the discipline that protects a twenty-year referral pipeline. Most contractors in a hot spring market take everything they can get. Youngs doesn't.
