In this episode of Custom Built, we’re flipping the script—from spotting red flags to recognizing the green flags that tell you you’ve found the right contractor. Instead of just focusing on what could go wrong, we’ll talk about the five qualities that signal alignment, trust, and craftsmanship. From a contractor who leads with their why before their how, to one who truly listens, sets expectations early, gives honest ballpark estimates, and isn’t afraid to say “this isn’t my expertise,” these are the people who turn your project into a partnership.

If you’re preparing for a renovation, this episode will help you spot the builders who communicate with clarity, respect your home like it’s their own, and still love their craft. Because your home isn’t just a project—it’s your sanctuary. Join the waitlist for The Blueprint Collective. Doors open soon and seats are limited: https://www.katiego.com/joinus
