Joshua started in construction at The Landing School in Kennebunk, Maine, where he learned design, construction fundamentals, and how to organize complex projects. He moved to Florida and worked as a project manager for a kitchen and flooring design company, overseeing renovations ranging from $5,000 to $500,000. That experience taught him how to manage projects at different scales and communicate with homeowners about scope and budget.

He then joined Advanced Property Solutions, where he learned to implement smart systems to solve problems efficiently — avoiding unnecessary work and cost. From there, he worked as a foreman and project manager for BTB Electric, managing crews and leading larger operational projects.

In 2019, Joshua and his father Stephen purchased an 18-unit apartment complex that required extensive structural renovation and operational restructuring. Joshua managed daily operations — leasing, maintenance, tenant relations, rent collection — while overseeing $200k+ in capital projects. He implemented smart management and financial systems while maintaining strong tenant relations. The complex achieved over 85% tenant retention throughout all capital expenditure projects.

That experience — managing construction while operating a real business, solving problems smartly, and treating people fairly — shaped his approach. In 2020, Joshua founded Worth Properties to apply that integrated knowledge to building homes. He brings construction expertise, operational discipline, and the family legacy of fair dealing to every project.
