Description

In Episode 126 of The TBD Podcast, Garrett sits down with Camilla Jeffs and Amber Boskers of KohlerHaus Remodeling Co, a woman-led construction company changing the way home renovations are done in Tampa. They share their approach to high standards on job sites, the importance of trust when remodeling someone's home, and how they handle messy subcontractors and tough hiring decisions. The conversation also dives into the future of trades, the lack of young people entering the field, and how social media and mentorship could play a role in changing that. They close out with a deep appreciation for historic preservation, especially Tampa’s iconic cigar factories, and the legacy women can build in construction.
