Jaime Perkins is facing a decision a lot of us have wrestled with:
Should he build a garage or a carport for his next home project?
In this episode, Jaime fires up SketchUp and talks through all the things he’s considering — from long-term use to build difficulty, costs, layout, site logistics, and so much more! Who knew that there could be so many things to think about?
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a real builder’s thought process, where he weighs:
🚗 Pros & cons of carports vs garages
📐 Site planning challenges
💸 Time, budget & labor trade-offs
🧠 How SketchUp helps visualize the decision before breaking ground
If you’ve ever debated between building a carport or a garage — or just want to see how a professional custom home builder breaks down design choices in real time — this is for you.
👉 What would YOU choose — garage or carport? Let us know in the comments!

🪚 The hand planes Jaime swears by
🧰 Why old-school tools still matter — even on modern projects

But that’s not all…
We’re also answering fan questions that came straight from the YouTube comments and DMs!
This episode blends deep dive construction talk, tool wisdom, and the usual off-the-rails Jaime commentary that makes every episode feel like a shop hangout.

We will find out how Max's passion for playing music came about, and all that he has gone through to be where he is today.
Max shares how playing the banjo connects with his life in construction, how performing keeps him sharp and creative, and why balancing music with building brings out the best of both.
Stay tuned—part two is all about the music, the band, and the rhythm that ties it all together.

From intern to full-time crew member, Max Rogers shares his journey with the Perkins Builder Brothers. Hear how he chose custom homes over commercial building and what it means to join the crew for real.
_________________
In this episode of Let Jaime Talk, Jaime welcomes Max Rogers, the newest full-time member of the Perkins Builder Brothers crew.
Max’s story is one of following passion over convention. After graduating with a Construction Management degree, he had the option to pursue a commercial building career. Instead, he chose the custom home route, where craftsmanship, creativity, and personal connection define the work.
Jaime and Max talk about how his early internship with the Builder Brothers sparked an interest that turned into a full-time role on the crew. They dive into what it’s like to transition from the classroom to the jobsite, the lessons learned building alongside a tight-knit team, and why custom homes felt like the right fit for his future.
This episode is a window into the mindset of a builder starting his career, balancing education with hands-on experience, and choosing a path rooted in craft and community.

When you’re building a custom home, some materials ("muhterials") you can fudge a little — and some you absolutely cannot mess up. In this episode, we focus on the big-ticket, high-stakes items where precision matters most: concrete for your foundation, framing lumber for your walls, and any custom-made pieces that you can’t just grab off the shelf.
We’ll cover:
- How to calculate concrete volume so you’re not paying for last-minute truckloads (or stuck with a useless extra pile)
- Why getting framing material counts right can save you time, money, and headaches down the road
- The special planning that goes into custom windows, doors, and built-ins
- Pro tips for double-checking your numbers before placing that order Because in home building, a little extra math now can save you thousands later — and keep your project on schedule.

Jaime’s back at it—this time debating one of (his) life’s greatest dilemmas (at the moment): how many trucks is too many, and can you have a work truck and a family truck? New work truck smell or old truck reliability. Is it worth trading in the squeaky seat and mystery stain for a shiny touchscreen and a payment plan? Or do the old rigs still have more heart left to give...despite all the quirks?
But wait, it gets better—because once you’ve got your truck, where are you gonna park it? Jaime dives into the ultimate showdown: carport vs. pole barn vs. shed. Do you go simple, go big, or just build one of each and call it a day?
From truck dilemmas to storage logistics, it’s a full-throttle episode of opinions, tangents, side stories, and just a little envy of people with dry tools and covered parking.

Get ready to hang out with Jay, the guy who’s not only a huge part of the Perkins Builder Brothers crew but also the star of his own YouTube channel, @BUILDING_JAYS_WAY.
We’re chatting about how Jason went from swinging a hammer on job sites to sharing his projects (and plenty of laughs) with fans all over the world. He spills the beans on what it’s really like working with the Perkins Builder Brothers, some of his favorite builds, where it all started, and how he balances everything from faith, family, friends, and fun with doing things “Jay’s Way.”
If you love building stuff, good stories, and a few laughs, you won’t want to miss this episode.
Tune in and learn just a little bit more about Jay's family life, work life, and a few things that might just surprise you!

Hey everyone! Join us this week as we get caught up!
Jaime’s back on the mic with a big update on the Mega Modern Build — what’s working, what’s been a total headache, and if you are watching....some descriptive visuals to help us all visualize the final look and feel of the largest build the Perkins Builder Brothers have ever done, and maybe the largest they ever do! Want to follow along with visuals we are using? Visit this link (https://www.advancedhouseplans.com/plan/royal-palms).
Plus, it’s Q&A time! There are always more fan questions than we can answer, so Jaime is taking some time out of this week's episode to tackle some of those questions.

On this episode of Let Jaime Talk, the turf talk gets serious (and sometimes a little ridiculous). Hosted by a Jaime, a grass-cutting fanatic, and Ben who does love some time behind a mower! This show dives into Jaime's world of lawn equipment, landscaping tales, and all his machines that chop, trim, and whir their way through green Perkins glory.
From deep dives on "Weed-eating" vs. "Weed-whacking", how and when to sharpen those lawnmower blades, Lines...circles...or checkerboards? But there is always a god tangent or ten to keep things interesting! We bring you practical advice, entertaining stories, and the kind of banter only found in the back aisle of your favorite hardware store.
Whether you're a weekend warrior with a push mower or a pro with a trailer full of gear, we’ve got the blades and banter for you. Start your engines, drop the deck, put on those headphones and tune in with us this week for Jaime's fresh cuts. Bonus points for those that listen to this episode while cutting the grass!

The bearded man himself! This week, we get the pleasure of getting to know another one of the Perkins Builder Brothers team members just a little bit better. Ray Jones is a man of many talents, and in this episode we will learn about the life Ray has lived before joining the crew, his life now, and what's to come! We want to give Ray a huge thank you for taking the time to join us on this podcast, it was a great conversation, and we all learned something!
