 Are You A Master In A World of Knuckleheads?

In todays remodeling world so much work is installed instead of crafted. The builder of 100 years ago suggests a path for remodelers today. Businesses should be structured around really knowing how things are built with a strong emphasis on understanding design. 

Brent Hull, nationally recognized expert in residential design, historic interiors and architecturally correct moldings and millwork will share with us how you can thrive as a master in a world of knuckleheads. 

Brent will be joining us for a seminar on the following day. He will present two half day sessions. Wednesday evening and Thursday sessions will cover different topics and provide a comprehensive education on a design in historic interiors as a remodeler of older homes. This is a not to be missed opportunity!


Please let us know the names of who will attend. Guests are welcome. RSVP today!
