The walls might look straight. The roof might not leak. But what happens when the foundation shifts… or mold sets in… or the crawlspace never got checked?

In this episode, I sit down with Joe "Sturdy" Villani, Inspection Engineer, owner of Sturdy Home Inspections, and host of The Knowledgeable Homeowner Podcast, to talk about the red flags most inspectors don’t catch—and why homebuyers, sellers, and contractors need to ask better questions. 🎙️🔍

From moisture meters to thermal imaging to missing permits, Joe walks us through how a real inspection goes beyond the checklist—and why it can be the difference between a smooth closing and a $50,000 problem. We also talk about educating homeowners, common misconceptions about inspections, and what the “Sturdy” standard really means.

Welcome to Episode 7 of Marcor Studios. Because in this market, surface-level inspections just won’t cut it.

You can build the best homes. Have the best crews. Get everything lined up. And still… be stuck for months.

Long Island is growing—but not fast enough. And if you’ve ever wondered why it takes forever to get a permit, approve a build, or just break ground… this is the episode you need to hear.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Florio, Government Affairs Director of the Long Island Builders Institute, to talk about the invisible roadblocks that builders, developers, and homeowners face every day. 🎙️🏗️📑

We get into zoning politics, municipal delays, NIMBYism, and the state-level policies that sound great on paper but make development nearly impossible in practice. From housing shortages to outdated infrastructure, Mike brings years of behind-the-scenes insight into what’s slowing progress—and how we can start to fix it.

Whether you're a builder, investor, contractor, or just someone who wants to see Long Island thrive, this episode is about the policies, people, and patterns that shape the future of where we live.

Welcome to Episode 6 of Marcor Studios. Let’s pull back the curtain on the system we’re all building in.

People think restoration is just about fixing walls and floors. But the truth? It’s way deeper than that.

In this episode, I sit down with Inga DiNardo of Elite Restoration—a woman who’s been on the front lines of disaster recovery for years—to talk about the side of insurance and construction most people never see. 🎙️🏚️

We talk about navigating emotional losses, the red tape that delays recovery, and why restoration companies like Elite need to be part contractor, part advocate. Inga shares stories from the field, from denied claims to emergency calls at 2 a.m., and how her team shows up when others don’t.

This one is about real families, real disasters, and what it takes to put the pieces back together again.

Welcome to Episode 5 of Marcor Studios. It’s not always pretty—but this is where the real work happens.
