Today we’d like to introduce you to Joey Dahan
Hi Joey, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started Craft Home Remodeling out of a deep-rooted passion for transforming homes into spaces that truly reflect the personalities and needs of their owners. From a young age, I was fascinated by the way a space can influence how we feel and live. Growing up, I spent countless hours tinkering in my parents’ garage, learning how to build and fix things around the house.
As I got older, I realized that remodeling was about much more than just aesthetics; it was about creating a functional, beautiful space that could enhance a family’s everyday life. I saw a need for a home remodeling company that not only delivered high-quality craftsmanship but also provided a seamless, stress-free experience for homeowners. This vision led to the establishment of Craft Home Remodeling here in San Diego, a community known for its beautiful homes and vibrant lifestyles.
Our mission at Craft Home Remodeling is to deliver personalized service and exceptional results. We strive to understand each client’s unique vision and bring it to life with precision and attention to detail. Our commitment to excellence has allowed us to help countless homeowners in the area achieve their dream homes, and we’re just getting started.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like any business, the journey of Craft Home Remodeling hasn’t been without its challenges, but each obstacle has been a stepping stone to greater understanding and improvement. One of the initial struggles we faced was navigating the complexities of the construction and remodeling industry. From securing reliable subcontractors to managing supply chain issues, each component needed to be carefully orchestrated to meet our high standards and deadlines.
Another significant challenge has been the fluctuating economic landscape, especially with the recent global events that have impacted material costs and availability. Adapting to these changes required agility and an innovative approach to project management and client communication.
Despite these hurdles, each challenge has taught us invaluable lessons about resilience, planning, and customer service. These experiences have refined our processes and strengthened our commitment to excellence, helping us build stronger relationships with our clients and a reputable name in the San Diego community.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
These strategies have not only helped me find great mentors but have also enriched my professional journey by connecting me with diverse talents and ideas.:
- Be clear about your goals: Before you start looking for a mentor or expanding your network, it’s important to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. This clarity will guide you in seeking out the right people who can influence your career path positively.
- Utilize existing networks: Start with the networks you already have, like professional associations, alumni groups, and social media platforms like LinkedIn. Engage actively in these communities by attending events, participating in discussions, and reaching out to individuals whose career paths or expertise align with your goals.
- Offer value: Networking is a two-way street. Think about how you can be helpful to others before asking for their help. Share your knowledge, offer your skills, or make introductions that might benefit others. This approach not only broadens your network but also builds your reputation as a valuable member of your professional community.
- Seek diverse perspectives: A good mentor doesn’t necessarily have to be someone in the same industry or profession. Sometimes, the best insights come from outside your immediate field. Look for individuals who can offer diverse perspectives and challenge your thinking in constructive ways.
- Be persistent and patient: Building relationships takes time. Don’t be discouraged if immediate results aren’t visible. Keep engaging with your network, stay consistent in your efforts, and over time, you’ll establish meaningful connections that could lead to mentorship opportunities.
- Always follow up: After meetings or events, make it a point to follow up with new contacts. A simple email thanking them for their time or sharing something relevant to your conversation can go a long way in cementing your connections.
