Designer & Construction Expert: SVP Floordi

For 30 years I’ve been the guy people call to ensure projects are problem free — working with countless design & contracting firms as well as a few HGTV appearances. I’ve seen inside the machine. The budgets that only work on TV, the contracts nobody reads, the ‘surprise’ problems that were obvious to any insider. At some point I realised I wasn’t just fixing houses. I was cleaning up after a rigged game. Smart, successful people were walking into six‑figure messes because the only stories they heard about renovations came from Pinterest and television, not from the contracts and scopes that actually run the job.

"Through Reno Mess" is my book the industry hoped you’d never get your hands on. It hands Nervous Newcomers, Skeptical Spenders, and honest builders the same playbook insiders use—so you can walk into any project seeing the red flags, naming the games, and protecting your home, your money, and your sanity.
