Why does your remodel take longer than you expected? 🤔

Here's the honest truth most contractors won't tell you.

When we open up a wall and find something unexpected, that takes more time. Remodeling means uncovering things we can't predict until we're actually in there.

I want to help you understand what's really going on so you can ask the right questions before you hire anyone.

Swipe through for the questions you should be asking and the red flags to watch for. ➡️

Do your research. These questions will tell you everything you need to know about whether a contractor is going to take care of your project or leave you hanging.

09/01/2026

Every contractor says they'll stand behind their work.

Here's the one question that tells you whether they actually mean it.

In 6 years of running A New Day Construction in Northeast Georgia, I've learned something about this industry that most contractors won't say out loud:

Something is always going to go sideways on a remodel.

Not always something catastrophic — but in any bathroom or kitchen project, you're going to run into things. Plumbing behind a wall that nobody expected. A load-bearing issue right where you planned to open things up. A material that comes in wrong. A structural surprise once the demo starts.

That's just the reality of this work.

The question was never will something go wrong.

The question is: who are you handing your home to when it does?

So before you hire your next contractor, ask them this — and watch carefully how they respond:

"Can you give me the name of a customer where something went wrong on the job, and tell me how you made it right?"

If they give you a phone number and say "call them" — that's your answer.

If they respond with a speech about their standards, their process, their warranty language — those are just words.

You're not looking for words. You're looking for proof.

A contractor who has genuinely made things right for a customer won't hesitate. Because they've been down that road before. They know things happen. And they're proud of how they handled it.

The ones who redirect — who talk around the question instead of answering it — that tells you everything you need to know before you sign anything.

I'll be honest with you about us:

We've made mistakes at A New Day Construction. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

What I can tell you is we've made every single one right. And I can give you the phone numbers of customers to prove it — people whose projects didn't go as planned, who will tell you exactly how we stepped in and took care of it.

That's not a pitch. That's just what accountability looks like.

True character shows up when things go wrong.

That's the contractor you're looking for. Not the most polished estimate. Not the biggest website. Not even the reviews alone.

Ask the hard question. See who hands you a phone number.

If you're planning a remodel and want someone who'll be straight with you from the very first conversation — not just until you sign — we'd love to be that second opinion.

MEN RISE UP — Tuesday: Integrity
Normal Doesn’t Mean Right

Men, today’s word is integrity, and I want to continue pulling from Pastor Jason’s message at Bethlehem Church this week.

Something from the sermon really caught my attention:

The Corinthians had started mistaking what their culture accepted for what Christ approved.

Think about how easily we can do the same thing today.

We hear things like:

“Everybody does it.”

“That’s just how guys talk.”

“It’s not that big of a deal.”

“That’s just business.”

“That’s normal nowadays.”

But here’s the problem:

Just because something has become normal doesn’t mean it’s right.

If everybody on the job cuts a corner, that doesn’t make it right.

If guys disrespect their wives when they’re around other men, that doesn’t make it right.

If po*******hy has become normal in our culture, that doesn’t make it right.

If everybody gossips, bends the truth, loses their temper, or talks however they want, that doesn’t mean we should.

Integrity means there has to be a standard in our lives higher than what everybody else is doing.

Romans 12:2 says:

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

And guys, this challenges me too.

There are things in my own life where I can justify the way I respond by saying:

“That’s just how I am.”

But following Jesus means having enough humility to say:

“Maybe that’s how I’ve always been, but that doesn’t mean that’s how God wants me to stay.”

That’s growth.

That’s integrity.

Today’s Action Step

Ask yourself:

“What have I allowed to become normal in my life that God may be asking me to change?”

Maybe it’s your language.

Your temper.

Something you’re watching.

How you treat your wife.

How you conduct yourself when nobody’s watching.

How you handle things at work.

Don’t compare yourself to everybody around you.

Compare the man you are today to the man God is calling you to become.

At Home

Men, remember this:

Your kids are watching what you normalize.

What Dad laughs at.

How Dad talks.

How Dad treats Mom.

What Dad watches.

How Dad handles anger.

Whether Dad keeps his word.

You’re teaching them what’s acceptable without ever sitting them down and teaching a lesson.

Make sure the example you’re giving them is one worth following.

This Week’s Sermon

What we’re talking about this week comes from Pastor Jason’s message at Bethlehem Church.

I encourage you guys to watch the entire sermon.

But don’t just watch another sermon and move on.

Watch it and ask yourself:

“God, what have I allowed to become normal in my life that You’re asking me to change?”

Then have the courage to listen when He answers.

Prayer

Lord, give us the courage to live by Your standard instead of simply following what’s normal around us. Show us where we’ve made excuses or allowed the world to influence us more than Your Word. Give us the humility and strength to change, and make us men of integrity at work, at home, and when nobody is watching. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏

Monday – Purpose: Who Do I Belong To?

Men, we're starting a new week, and I want to continue pulling from the message at Bethlehem Church.

Last week we talked about freedom and asked:

“What is mastering me?”

This week, the question goes even deeper:

“Who do I belong to?”

We spend a lot of time asking:

“Can I do this?”

“Is this really wrong?”

“What's the big deal?”

But maybe we're asking the wrong question.

1 Corinthians 6:19–20 says:

"You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Think about what that means.

If I've surrendered my life to Jesus, then my life isn't just about what I want anymore.

My time belongs to Him.

My abilities belong to Him.

My words belong to Him.

My body belongs to Him.

How I treat my wife and kids matters.

How I conduct myself at work matters.

What I look at when nobody's around matters.

How I take care of myself matters.

How I use the opportunities He's given me matters.

Because all of those things answer the question:

Who am I living for?

And this hits me too.

I can get so focused on business, solving problems, growing, accomplishing the next goal and moving on to the next thing that I have to remind myself:

Jerry, none of this is really yours.

The business isn't ultimately mine.

My abilities aren't mine.

My time isn't mine.

Even tomorrow isn't promised to me.

God has entrusted these things to me, and my responsibility is to steward them well and use them for His purpose.

That's a completely different way to live.

Instead of waking up asking:

“What do I want to accomplish today?”

Maybe we start asking:

“God, what do You want to accomplish through me today?”

Action Step

Before you get too far into your day, stop for a minute and ask:

“Does the way I'm living show that I belong to Jesus?”

Pick one area—your attitude, your words, your body, your marriage, your work, your phone, your time—and surrender it to God today.

At Home

When you walk through that door tonight, remember:

Your wife and children aren't interruptions to your purpose.

Leading and loving them is part of your purpose.

Give them something today that reflects the man God is calling you to be.

Men, remember:

Who you are.

Whose you are.

And Who lives in you.

Then live accordingly.

This Week's Sermon

This week's message from Bethlehem Church is “Who Does My Body Belong To?”

I encourage you to watch it this week. Don't just listen—ask God:

“Where does this apply to my life?”

https://youtu.be/1qJb1B-8qfE?is=pndzBDKMnwqBg9wk

Prayer

Lord, thank You for paying a price for us that we could never repay. Remind us that our lives belong to You. Help us use our time, bodies, abilities, work, and relationships for Your purpose. Make us men who don't just say we follow Jesus, but show it by the way we live. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏 htt

Where to spend and where to save on your kitchen remodel ⬇️

Most people get this completely backwards.

Cabinets take a lot of abuse over time. If you don't get good quality with all wood construction and soft close drawers, you'll regret it. Do not cheap out here.

A lot of people think flooring is all the same. It's not. Cheap LVP flooring comes unsnapped, scratches, and wears out fast. You want quality flooring with a good warranty that lasts years.

Now here's where you CAN save money:

Countertops. The price difference between high-end and good quality is thousands of dollars. Still looks beautiful. Still works great.

Backsplash is another area you can save and still get a great look. Not everything needs to be top dollar.

But here's the thing most people miss—stop spending money on the look of your kitchen instead of the functionality. A pretty kitchen that's hard to work in is a waste of money.

Do your research before you start picking out materials. I want to help you make smart decisions so you're not losing money on things that don't matter.

Organizers are going to make your life a lot easier. And honestly, this is where I enjoy spending my money when it comes to a kitchen remodel.

A trash can pullout is truly a necessity. Then you've got your spice rack organizers with several different options. Lazy Susans are always a hit because in those blind corners, you want to be able to get as much storage as you can.

Utensil organizers help when you're cooking to have everything in one place.

There are just so many bells and whistles when it comes to cabinetry upgrades that can make your daily life so much smoother. These are the kinds of details we love walking you through when we're planning your project.

The thing I wish more homeowners knew before they finalized their kitchen remodel plans 👇

Everybody focuses on what the kitchen looks like. The cabinet color. The countertops. The tile. And those things matter — but what determines whether you actually LOVE your kitchen for the next 20 years is how it WORKS.

Three things that change everything:

1️⃣ Drawers instead of lower cabinet doors — access everything without bending or reaching. This especially matters as you get older. Don't overlook this.

2️⃣ Pullout organizers — trash pullout, spice pullout, drawer organizers. These are the differences between a kitchen that frustrates you and one that actually makes cooking enjoyable.

3️⃣ Quality cabinet construction — allwood cabinets with softclose hardware. This is not the place to cut costs. It affects your kitchen every single day.

I see homeowners spend thousands on countertops and then cheap out on cabinets and flooring. A few years later, they call me because things are falling apart.

Invest in the right places. Build a kitchen you love for decades, not just for the Instagram photos.

Save this so you remember it when you're planning 👆

The most expensive bathroom remodel isn't the one with the highest quote.

It's the one you end up paying for twice.

Over the years at A New Day Construction, we've been called out to fix remodeling projects across Northeast Georgia that completely fell apart — bathrooms and kitchens that started as someone's dream and turned into tens of thousands in wasted money and months of family stress.

And almost every single one had warning signs the homeowner missed before they ever signed a contract.

Here are 5 red flags to check before you hire any contractor:

1. They won't give you a phone number when things went wrong.

During your estimate, ask this question:

"Can you give me the name of a customer where something went wrong on the job — and how you made it right?"

If they give you a phone number and say "call them" — that's a good sign.

If they respond with a speech about their process, their guarantee, their commitment to quality — those are just words.

A contractor who has genuinely made things right won't hesitate to hand over a number. Because they've been down that road, and they're proud of how they handled it.

Make the call. Most homeowners don't. That's often where the mistake happens.

2. Their contract is one page.

A contract that says "replace tub, replace shower, replace vanity" is not protecting you. It's protecting them.

That vague language is exactly where change orders are born.

What type of waterproofing are they using? What tile system? What paint? What valve? A solid contract walks through every detail — room by room, demo to completion.

Ask them to walk through it line by line with you. If something you discussed isn't in writing, get it added before you sign. Because once you sign, anything outside that document is an add-on at their price.

And here's something most homeowners have no idea about: lien waivers. If your contractor doesn't pay his suppliers, those suppliers have your address on file — and can legally place a lien on your home even though you already paid your contractor. A proper contract protects you from that.

3. They're asking for a large deposit upfront.

The moment you hand over a large deposit, control shifts. They start your job when they want, how they want.

We don't take deposits at A New Day Construction (except for special-order materials). We work on weekly draws — you pay only for work that's been completed. You see exactly where your money is going every single week.

4. You haven't verified their license and insurance.

A website and a Facebook profile don't make someone a licensed, insured contractor.

Ask for proof of insurance — then call the agent directly to confirm it's still active. Contractors can hand you a certificate that's already expired.

And when you read reviews: don't just count the stars. Read the negative ones. Then read how the contractor responded. That tells you far more about their character and integrity than any five-star review ever will.

5. They can start immediately.

Most quality contractors have a backlog. If someone can start your project tomorrow, that's worth asking about.

It might be fine — a job could have fallen through or just wrapped up. But ask them to explain it. And pay attention to how responsive they are throughout the estimate process. If they're slow to get back to you now, that's your preview of what happens when you actually need them mid-project.

Hiring a contractor for your home shouldn't feel like a gamble.

Ask the hard questions. Read that contract line by line. Call the references. Find someone whose character shows up before they ever break ground — not after.

If you're thinking about a remodel and want a second opinion, or just want to make sure you're asking the right questions — reach out. We're happy to help.

The stuff that actually makes your kitchen work better ⬇️

Drawers instead of doors. As we get older, it's hard to reach back behind those cabinets. Stacked drawers make your life easier every single day.

Spend money on what makes life easier in the kitchen: pullouts, organizers, trash can pullouts, spice racks, drawers instead of doors. That's where the real value is.

And let me tell you a story—Home Depot charged a customer $51,000 to install cabinets and countertops. Left damaged sheetrock, exposed studs. All they did was slap up cabinets and walk away.

This is why you do your research.

The worst place to save money on a remodel is flooring. The best place to save? Countertops and backsplash. Most people get this backwards.

What you don't want is a pretty kitchen that's hard to work in. Think function first, then looks.

I'm blessed to have a team that really cares about helping you plan your project the right way. We want to make sure you're not going to lose money through this process.

Have questions about your kitchen project? We'd love for you to come down and talk to us 🙏

Here's something I want to help you understand when you're looking at cabinets.

Make sure it's all plywood constructed and stay away from the particle board. Over time, particle board just isn't going to hold up, especially in a kitchen where there's moisture and daily use.

And here's another thing to look for. Back in the day, all your drawer slides were mounted on the sides. We've gotten away from that in the industry because you get a better soft close and a stronger slide when it's mounted underneath.

These are the kinds of details that make a real difference in how your cabinets perform for years to come. Do your research and make sure you're getting quality construction.
