From a $300 investment in epoxy and basic tools to saving homeowners over $17 million in repair costs, Ty' McBride’s journey in wood restoration is a testament to seeing opportunity where others saw demolition. Growing up in a construction family, Ty learned the trade from the ground up, starting with cleanup duties at his grandfather's sites. But it wasn't until a devastating 2013 tornado that he discovered his true calling. Tasked with restoring historical monuments that couldn't be demolished and rebuilt, Ty dove deep into the world of restoration techniques, ultimately discovering the transformative power of epoxy. While the construction industry typically opted for complete replacements, Ty saw potential in preservation. Taking cues from landmark restoration projects like the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore, he pioneered the use of epoxy in residential house restoration, turning his garage experiments into Preservan, a company that's revolutionizing how we approach home repairs. Featured on HGTV and building a dedicated YouTube following, Ty transformed a simple epoxy solution into a nationwide restoration movement. In this episode, he shares how starting small in his neighborhood and focusing on solving real problems rather than just selling services built the foundation for his success.
