Your Instructor
Hi 👋
I’m Steve White, Bathroom Remodeling Teacher. I’ve been a general contractor from Pittsburgh, Pa since 2000 (started business when I was 21 years old) Renovated & flipped many homes during the housing boom of early 2000s.
In 2008 I began specializing in Bathroom Remodeling. I struggled for many years with the business. Always spending more time & money on a project than I had estimated, resulting in very low wages. 20 bathrooms and 3 1/2 years later (2011) I had my pattern down & the business took off, I was booked months out in advance & began getting into a lot higher end complex projects. 2016 I became a certified tile installer & began building a YouTube audience. Learning things the hard way for most of my career & working on very old homes in Pittsburgh put me in a unique position to help DIYers and other contractors. That's been the motivation behind creating these online courses 👍 My goal is to help you PLAN, LEARN & BUILD your dream bathroom 😊
Look forward to helping you within a course 👋
