In this episode of The Real Estate Heavyweights, Ashton and Tavis sit down with Dennis Comstock, the creator of Builder Brigade, a viral social media brand helping homeowners navigate the chaotic process of new construction.
Dennis shares how his own frustrating custom build in 2019 sparked the idea for a homebuilding checklist—a tool that has now helped thousands of people avoid costly mistakes and delays. From early days framing in Florida to launching a TikTok hit during COVID lockdowns, Dennis walks us through his journey from the Army to full-time content creator and entrepreneur.
We discuss:
The surprising moment his builder poured the wrong house.
How small inconveniences inspired big innovations.
Tips for future-proofing your home (hint: wire for smart shades now).
Why builders secretly wish they could ditch clients entirely.
His move to Plano, Texas—and how club volleyball + new construction helped him choose the DFW area.
What’s next: a powerful new Builder Brigade app.
Whether you're flipping, building, or just dreaming about custom home features, this episode is packed with real-world advice and hard-earned insight.
