In the Duluth market, getting your home ready to sell can either be a massive win or a costly lesson. The difference is usually found in the structural integrity, the local building codes, and knowing exactly where to spend, and more importantly, where to save.
With decades of hands-on contracting and leasing experience in Northern Minnesota, Doug Berg, Owner of Former Glory Restoration, provides the insight home owners and investors need before they sign a closing statement.

With over two decades of experience in the Northland, Doug brings a level of technical depth that most consultants can’t match. His career hasn't just been spent behind a desk; it’s been spent in the crawlspaces, utility rooms, and job sites of Duluth’s unique housing market.
