Justin Godfrey: The Demo King with a Dumpster Dream
In this episode of Nailed It, we sit down with Justin Godfrey, the man behind Faultline Services, a growing demolition and dumpster rental company making serious waves in Utah’s construction scene. From mowing lawns for mini choppers as a fifth grader to launching his own business after walking away from his grandfather’s demo company, Justin’s story is one of hustle, hands-on learning, and entrepreneurial grit.
He shares how an unexpected phone call just days after quitting his job launched him into entrepreneurship—and how a commitment to clean, professional demo work helped his reputation grow fast. Justin also talks about the strategic acquisition of a 48-dumpster operation and how that vertical move expanded both his network and bottom line.
We also dive into the challenges of single fatherhood, the balancing act of raising kids while running a business, and how his upbringing around budgeting and responsibility now shapes how he parents. Whether it's purchasing a $300K roll-off truck or building systems that keep his teams clean and clients happy, Justin proves you don’t need to swing a hammer to build something powerful.
If you’ve ever underestimated the value of a clean demo or thought dumpster rentals weren’t big business—this episode will change your mind.
