About the show

The JoContractor show shares useful and entertaining stories about the ins and outs of home remodeling, both from the perspective of the diverse group of people out doing the work and the equally diverse group of people needing the work done. We focus primarily on the world of residential remodeling, and the millions of people whose lives are touched by this industry everyday. Our show includes interviews with contractors, industry pros and homeowners. We also have a live Q&A style show from time to time and Construction Quickies, where we break down one specific aspect of construction in short order!
