Blake always did some kind of construction work on the side — building displays for art galleries and doing handiwork for family and friends. He knew he would eventually find that “hook” which would enable him to put a full-time focus on the business that he loved. In 1999, Blake founded Finishes Touches and has built it into a firm that rehabs more than 200 properties per year. It took some creative thinking and a lot of persistence and perseverance at cold-calling in the beginning.“ I noticed the bus stop benches with the signs: ‘We Buy Houses For Cash,” and started making a list of those phone numbers. Eventually, I had a legal pad with a bunch of numbers on it and started calling the investors. I figured they needed somebody to fix up the houses that they were buying,” Blake said. He was right. The Finishing Touches team began with only a few employees hungry and willing to tackle any job that needed to be done. The focus on doing rehab work for real estate investors proved to be a gold mine and soon positioned Finishing Touches as the premier investor home rehab company in Dallas/Fort Worth.
