In the latest episode of the R-Value podcast, IDI's Ken Allison welcomes Peter Troast from Energy Circle. They discuss the critical, time-sensitive opportunity for insulation contractors with the 25C tax credit, which is confirmed to be ending after 2025. Troast explains how contractors can and should be creating a sense of urgency to get jobs scheduled and completed before the end of the year. The conversation highlights the free marketing resources available through the "25C Means Business" program, sponsored by the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA). This program offers contractors professionally developed, urgency-focused marketing materials and even website support at no cost. Allison and Troast also explore the broader market shifts, including the decline in new construction and the corresponding opportunity in the retrofit market. They also cover the major changes in how homeowners find contractors due to the rise of AI in search engines and what contractors need to do to adapt. The 25C Tax Credit Ends This Year: The 25C tax credit is still available for projects completed in 2025, creating a powerful, scarcity-driven marketing message for contractors. Free Marketing with the "25C Means Business" Program: NAIMA is sponsoring a program that provides free content and web support to help contractors capitalize on the expiring tax credit. Pivoting to Retrofit Amidst New Construction Decline: With new housing starts facing a downturn, insulation contractors have a prime opportunity to diversify into the residential retrofit market. Adapting to AI in Customer Searches: Homeowner search habits are changing, shifting from keywords to conversational questions. Contractors must adapt their online content to this trend, a practice now known as "generative engine optimization.". New Lead Generation with Google's Local Services Ads: Google is expanding its pay-per-lead "Local Services Ads" platform to include insulation contractors, offering a new and effective marketing channel.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we hear the real journey of going from lean years to landing that first prime government contract—and the challenges that don't go away once you “make it.” My guest shares how he earned his 8(a) certification in November 2018, landed his first $4 million sole-source award in March 2019, and finally had the credibility to get lines of credit and scale. But the hard truth is that winning is only half the battle—sustaining and retaining contracts is the real grind. We dig into the tough lessons every small business owner needs to hear: contracts expire, recompetes are brutal, and focusing too much on chasing new GWACs and IDIQ vehicles like Polaris, Stars III, or OASIS can cause you to lose sight of the work already in hand. He even shares a cautionary story about a mentor who lost a $45 million contract simply because they stopped nurturing the contracting officer relationship. If you think getting your 8(a) is the finish line, this episode proves it's only the beginning.

This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates?

In this episode of the Govcon Giants Podcast, I sit down with Larry Sher, a seasoned government contracts attorney with over 30 years of experience, to break down the massive shake-ups happening in federal and state contracting. We're talking about billions in grants and contracts terminated overnight, including 2,100 NIH grants and entire programs at agencies like USAID, DOE, EPA, and FEMA. Larry explains why even small businesses can suddenly find themselves buried under compliance obligations, FAR clauses, and False Claims Act liability the moment they sign that government contract. He pulls back the curtain on how bid protests really work, why the “16% success rate” statistic is misleading, and how corrective actions can keep you in the game. We also dive deep into the Contract Disputes Act, the hidden risks of subcontracting, and how executive orders are creating chaos and uncertainty for contractors. Larry warns about the dangers of signing a contract without understanding the downstream compliance requirements—and how one misstep could cost you millions. Whether you're chasing a state contract for bulletproof vests worth millions, managing a prime contract with subs, or fighting an unlawful grant termination, this episode will open your eyes to the real risks of doing business with the government. And Larry's #1 piece of advice? Come to him before you sign, not after you're already in trouble.

Signing a contract with your contractor is like signing a marriage certificate. If you don't know what you're actually getting, you're setting yourself up for a very expensive divorce.Today, I'm diving into the financial side of contractor selection that can make or break your project. I've seen too many homeowners get blindsided by inadequate contracts, surprise costs, and change orders that nobody saw coming. You're literally handing over your vision and your budget to someone else, so you better make sure you understand exactly what you're paying for.In previous episodes, we've talked about vetting contractors from a relationship perspective, but today I'm getting laser-focused on the numbers. I'm giving you practical tools for understanding build costs, preventing those dreaded change orders, and most importantly, revealing what it actually costs to build a healthy home. Because here's the reality: it might be very different from what you've budgeted for, and you need to know this upfront, not when you're mid-construction facing a $50,000 surprise.I've seen projects start with no contracts at all, and let me tell you, you absolutely do not want that. Today, I'm breaking down exactly what you need in your bid, how to structure it properly, and why transparency is everything when it comes to your construction budget. In today's episode, we're talking about:The three types of contractor bids and why cost-plus contracts give you the transparency you desperately needHow to get preliminary cost estimates that actually matter (and why square footage alone won't cut it)Real percentage breakdowns for upgrading your foundation, exterior walls, and roof assembliesWhy your contractor must be involved in the design stage to prevent budget disastersThe truth about what it actually costs to build a healthy home (hint: start budgeting at $400+ per square foot)Connect with me: Instagram
