In this episode of The Gold Coast Podcast, host Eric Winegard sits down with Franco Daza-Jaller, founder of DJC Construction (Palm Beach)—a remodeling contractor who blends corporate-level systems with old-school ethics to deliver a true white-glove renovation experience.

Franco shares his journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial family and learning sales at a young age, to dominating corporate sales at AT&T and Wells Fargo, then walking away to build his own construction company from zero capital. Today, Franco and his wife (an architect/designer) run a design-first, systems-driven remodeling business focused on eliminating guesswork, reducing delays, and creating a smoother client experience.

They get real about:

What separates great contractors from “typical” contractors

Why Franco doesn’t pay for leads and relies on word-of-mouth

Handling difficult clients (and walking away from red flags)

Why communication + trust beats “cheap pricing” every time

Fatherhood, relationships, and building a legacy the right way

If you’re a homeowner planning a remodel, a contractor looking to scale, or an entrepreneur building a service business—this one is packed with lessons.
