About the Blogger

Paul Winans, CR

thumbnail image Paul Winans' career runs parallel to the changes in the remodeling industry over the last 40 years. From beginnings as a carpenter who didn’t want to run a business, Paul teamed with his wife, Nina, to build a highly successful remodeling company. After almost three decades, Paul and Nina sold the business to someone outside the company, a rare event in the industry. As a business owner, Paul once saw competitors as threats; over time, he came to regard them as allies, an attitude that propelled him to the office of President of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Once too shy to speak in public, Paul has for years addressed remodeling audiences at trade shows and conferences around the country. Today, Paul works as a facilitator for Remodelers Advantage, and as a consultant to remodeling business owners. Paul believes there is no one right way to do things, even though he certainly wishes there was. In his blog, Paul provides his unique perspective about life, the universe and other related matters.
