This week’s episode is part personal story, part building-science wake-up call. Ashley shares a tender reflection on her dad’s legacy, her family’s roots in small-business grit, and how those early years walking construction sites shaped the work she does today. From there, she unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions she sees in renovation projects: the near-total disregard for what’s happening inside our walls.

If you’re planning a renovation, whether you’re adding a small addition or tearing your home back to studs, this episode gives you the foundational lens you need before choosing fixtures, finishes, or appliances. You’ll learn why building envelopes fail, how architects and builders often miss critical details, and what questions every homeowner should be asking to protect the longevity, comfort, and health of their home.
