Key Quotes by Toby:

• It’s so rewarding, when you’re renovating or remodeling, to start with this old home that needs a lot of work and needs life brought back into it and, when you’re done, you can stand back and say, “Wow, our team built that.” It’s the same thing with a new build: You start with a piece of dirt, and when you’re done, you’ve built this huge, beautiful building that hopefully will be there for hundreds of years.
