Episode 15 | Quotes, Compliance & Sticker Shock: The Remodeler’s Reality Check Featuring John Castro Of LICRT [Audio]

Every bad headline about a contractor makes it harder for the good ones to earn trust.   In this episode, I sit down with John Castro of Long Island Contractors Roundtable (LICRT) to talk about building a real support system for remodelers—one that blends advocacy, accountability, and education. 🎙️🏗️   We unpack the shift from “great with tools” to “great at business,” why enforcement and access both matter, and how licensing, I-9 compliance, and Department of Labor rules impact pricing, scheduling, and the customer experience. We also dig into the “wall of shame,” the rise of tip-line enforcement, and how to protect homeowners without pushing good contractors underground.   Welcome to Episode 15 of Marcor Studios. Because the work isn’t just what happens on-site. It’s the system behind it.   Connect with John Castro of Long Island Contractors Roundtable (LICRT): ☎️ Phone | (516) 353-8668 📨 Email | [email protected] 🌐 Website | www.contractorsrt.com 💬 Instagram | @contractorsrt 📲 Facebook | Contractors RoundTable   Connect with us on social! 💬 Instagram | @MarcorConstruction 📲 Facebook | Marcor Construction 🎬 TikTok | Marcor Construction 🌐 Website | www.marcorny.com   💌 Want to collaborate or be a guest on the podcast?
