Operations consulting, from your first number to a business that runs.
Start with the free Quote Leak Check. Then three paths, and every promise in writing.
The revenue is real.
So why does it still feel like you are running on fumes?
Nobody teaches this part, and it never feels urgent until it is. The money is not walking out the front door. It leaks quietly, through pricing that never got updated, hours nobody billed, and a crew that has to call you before it can move.
Your phone never stops. Neither do you.
Calls at 8pm. Texts before 7am. Every decision comes back to you because nobody else knows how it is supposed to go. That is not a people problem. It is that nothing was ever written down.
The revenue is there. The profit is not.
You did the volume. The jobs closed. Then you look at the month and the number does not match the work. Something is bleeding and it is not obvious where, so it keeps bleeding.
All of it lives in your head.
Your pricing. Your callback process. What a job should look like at closeout. Ask three people on your crew how a callback gets handled and you will get three different answers.
You are $15 to $30 an hour short and part of you knows it.
Rates that have not moved in two years. A billable rate that never covered your real labor burden. Jobs that run two hours long that nobody logs. Twelve interruptions a day, six minutes each plus four to get your head back in, is ten hours a week of your time.
A quick check. Be honest, it only helps you.
1. If you disappeared for two weeks, what breaks first?
2. Do you know, to the dollar, what your last ten jobs actually cost you?
3. When did you last raise your rates?
4. How many times today did somebody ask you a question they had already asked you before?
5. Is there one process in this business written down well enough that a new hire could run it without you?
"Sort of" counts as a no. If three or more of those are a no, that is normal at your size. Nobody teaches this part, and it never feels urgent until it is. It is exactly what we fix.
Start with the one you can count tonight: the quotes that went quiet.
Run the Quote Leak Check →Neither leak waits for a slow week.
There are two leaks, and both get bigger every day you leave them alone. Keep them apart, because they cost you in different ways.
The quotes that went quiet.
Every day a quote sits without a callback, it gets colder, and the customer keeps collecting other numbers. Part of that money is still out there today. Less of it will be next week. Run the sample in our Quote Leak Check, 60 quotes in 90 days with 27 that never got an answer at a $1,900 average, and that is about $570 a day going quiet.
The price that never caught up.
This one does not go cold. It repeats. Every job you run before your rate covers what a truck really costs loses money again, on every invoice, until the price is fixed.
Three paths. Each one carries its own promise.
We start almost everyone with the Recovery Reset. If you would rather talk first, a 30 minute discovery call tells you which path fits. Every path carries its own promise in writing, word for word on its card below. We will tell you straight if the honest answer is none of them.
How to win more bids without lowering your prices, even if you hate selling.
This is where we start almost everyone. Two weeks. We find what your quotes and your pricing are costing you, fix the pricing, and install the system that goes and gets the rest back. You do not have to be a salesperson. The system does the remembering, and we make the first calls with you.
Start the 90 Day Operator within 30 days and the full $1,950 counts toward it. Everything we install comes from our own eleven operations documents, seven pricing guides and six calculators.

One decision.
Ninety days to a business that runs.
For the owner who already knows it hurts and wants it fixed. This is the only build we run. One invoice, one start date, coaching the whole way through, and your team trained on it before we hand it back.
Six months.
An operating partner, not a project.
This is the one for the owner whose real goal is to stop being needed: to take a vacation, hand it to a family member, or position it to sell. For six months we sit in the operating seat with you. Everything in the 90 Day Operator is the foundation, then months four through six go deeper until the systems hold without you in the room.
Not sure which one? Book a 30 minute discovery call and decide after, or run the Quote Leak Check first and bring your number.
A small team that has actually done your job.
You do not get handed to a junior associate with a framework he read about. Every engagement is run by people who have carried the tools, the P&L, or the schedule board themselves.
I spent 7 years as a licensed HVAC service tech before I ran anything. Then 8 years in operations leadership, where I grew one team 4x and took its billable revenue up 78%. I have been the guy every job stops and waits on. I know what your Monday looks like from the truck and from the office, and that is the seat I sit in on every engagement.
Our sales lead holds a degree in business administration and finance, and comes from a family of tradesmen. That is why your first conversation with us starts with your numbers. Pricing, margin, and what a job actually costs are the language, not an afterthought.
Our operations lead spent years as a project manager for an electrical vendor and ran that company's office: scheduling, payroll, the whole back end. Everything we install, this person has already run from inside a contractor. Not observed. Not advised on. Run.
What owners ask before
they book the call.
Thirty minutes on Teams. You tell us the biggest headache in the business right now, where you want it to be, and where it is today. We tell you straight whether we are the right people to help and which path fits. If we are not, we say so.
Owner operated, $500K to $5M a year, 4 to 25 people, and one of eleven trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, general contracting, painting, concrete and masonry, flooring, pool service, appliance repair, or handyman. We are remote first and work with owners anywhere in the lower 48. In person is available if you are within driving distance of South Florida. Past that, the discovery call is the fastest way to find out.
Yes, and it is in writing. On the 90 Day Operator: $20,000 delivered in margin improvement or recovered revenue within 90 days, measured against the baseline we sign in week one, or the next month is free until we hit it. It is the floor, not the ceiling, and it is why we qualify carefully before we take anyone on.
Money you are already generating that never makes it to your account. Underpriced labor, hours nobody billed, scope that crept, jobs that ran long, callbacks you ate. We put a dollar figure on each one, stop the leak, and recover what is still recoverable. On the 90 Day Operator, we measure it against the baseline numbers we sign together in week one.
We start almost everybody with the Recovery Reset. Two weeks, and you walk out with a rate that covers what the work actually costs you, a follow up system running, and your open quotes already called. If you already know what is broken and you want the whole operation rebuilt in one run, the 90 Day Operator does that. We recommend one on the discovery call, based on what you actually tell us.
Sixty minutes on the phone with your open quote list. In the first one, we make the calls while you watch. In the second, your person makes them and we coach live. You get two in the Recovery Reset. Most consultants tell you to follow up. We pick up the phone and do it with you.
A few hours of access to your numbers and your operation in the first week, then we work around your schedule. This gets built WITH you, not to you, and we do the heavy lifting so you are not carving out time you do not have. You are already short on hours. That is the problem we are here to fix.
Yes. It is the one thing we sell straight off the site. Pay, and we call you within one business day to book your kickoff. If your business turns out to be outside who we serve, we tell you on that call and refund you in full before any work starts.
An operations firm built for owner operated trades businesses, nationwide. Shops at your revenue level leave at least $100,000 a year in recoverable margin. We put a number on it, rebuild your pricing, and install the fix with your team. Every path carries its own promise in writing. The Recovery Reset guarantees the work is finished in two weeks. The 90 Day Operator guarantees the result: $20,000 delivered in margin improvement or recovered revenue within 90 days, measured against the baseline we sign in week one, or the next month is free until we hit it.
The Quote Leak Check and the discovery call are free. The Recovery Reset is $1,950 for two weeks, with a written completion guarantee printed word for word under Path 1 above. Everything bigger than that gets quoted after the discovery call, because the number depends on your shop: your size, your crew, and how much of it is already written down.
