My career in home remodeling was a wrong turn. Literally. One right turn past the correct right turn beyond a missed stoplight in North Scottsdale — and there I was — in the parking lot of Builders Depot.
I was on a remodeling quest that day and the showroom was open to the public, which is not always the case in North Scottsdale. So, I shrugged my way forward figuring this was as good a place as any to start.
Little did I know this was the place to start. And little did I know that Mark, the owner, and Chantel, the general manager, had bigger plans in mind for me at Builders Depot.
Immediately sensing my sense of eclectic style and design, not only did they secure my business, but they contracted my employment as well. It was all a flash.
Like most of us, I have taken plenty of wrong turns in plenty of jobs that came before. But this time, irony and chance were on my side to build a lasting career in remodeling homes.
I am not a strong advocate for turning life upside down. But sometimes leaps must be leapt. And this particular wrong turn left little question that everything was right.
Remodeling is all about right turns and wrong turns, no matter how you plan, hunt or forage. And no matter when the moment hits you. The ups and downs of renovating your home are never what you anticipate, and the rewards are never what you imagined. Like most things in life, the process has its share of frustrations. But the results are an amazingly pleasant surprise.
I am a navigator now. And I’m here to help you along the way — projects large or small. If you remember only one important lesson about remodeling, remember to have fun.
And definitely don’t forget: Sometimes wrong turns lead right to where you need to be.
From countertops to cabinets, flooring to lighting, bathrooms to kitchens and everything in between, the renovation journey awaits. Builders Depot has a highly experienced team to assist you.
