Show Notes
In this episode of The Drywall Podcast, I’m joined by Justin Thomas, owner of Thomas Drywall. Our connection started in a unique way—Justin reached out after hearing my guest appearance on The Aggregate with Jeremy Mistretta a few months back. After one long conversation, I knew his story needed to be shared here.
Justin is a third-generation drywall professional who has seen every side of the industry. We trace his journey from scaling a massive operation with over 50 employees to the pivotal moment when the economy forced a total career pivot. You’ll hear how he successfully transitioned into tech sales, what that high-pressure environment taught him about business, and ultimately, what pulled him back to his roots in the drywall world.
We also get personal, discussing how his faith and background as a Mormon shape his perspective on work and family, and why he is never afraid to blow things up and try something new. Today, Justin is back in the trade with a refined focus on specialty finishes and Fresco Harmony.
