Episode 48 of the On Site Podcast welcomes back Sam to share updates on Coronation Construction’s growth, including stepping back from hands-on work into admin, sales, and estimating, and investing in Google/Meta ads and higher-production content to increase visibility. Sam outlines current projects (bathrooms, basements, and a medical office build-out) and discusses gaining confidence by taking action on challenging details like a tiled arched shower entry. He explains his push toward new construction for better pay, focus, and a bigger “wow factor” to showcase skills in one home. They discuss business volatility in Ontario, differentiating from low-quality competitors through consistency and client experience, and Sam details Coronation’s process: fast follow-up, 48–72 hour estimates, in-person proposals, JobTread client portal updates, and strong jobsite protection and respect. Sam plugs Coronation Construction in London, Ontario and shares where to find the company online.
