Logan never planned to start a construction company. A professor asked if he could hang drywall, then frame a window, then flip a whole house. Three years later, Oak and Stone is a six-man crew in Pennsylvania building decks, garages and pole barns, and it’s heading into full home builds.

In this 40-minute conversation, Brad and Logan cover:

• The beginning: How one drywall job spiraled into a business before he’d finished his construction management degree
• Building the crew: Why he hired an office manager before adding more guys in the field
• The rain-delay problem: Keeping six guys paid without opening a job he can’t finish
• “We,” not “I”: Running the business with the crew’s input instead of making every call alone
• Cutting bathrooms: Two callbacks, one hard lesson, and why sticking to what you know lowered his stress
• Learning to say no: Turning down work and sending it to trusted guys down the street
• Hills to die on: TimberTech Advanced PVC, the 70% hiring rule, and paying guys what they’re worth

Key Quote from the Episode:
“If you can find somebody that can do the job 70% as well as you can, hire them. Because you can’t grow your business if you’re working in the business.” — Logan
