Great for you Curtis wish more people were like you

Not trying to be rude but I started my 1st HVAC company at 22 years old in N. Fl. in 2004. As fast as I hung a cheap homemade printed black & white brochure on potential customers door handles I personally hung in the areas I wanted to work, they started calling and testing me out. I never said what it would cost until I had time to figure out what the problem was, I said it's a FREE repair estimate until I can give you a NoT free written repair estimate. Close to 95% sell rate 1st year... Kept the same idea and work ethic, now at 42 years old and on to my 2nd HVAC company with my own family it just keeps growing. Good Tradesmen or Tradeswomen are hard to find. Good work=Good life!!!!!

Curtis is the man!

That’s awesome Curtis

Running a business these days isn''t like it used to be 40 years ago when the benefits were greater for small business people. Today, we are subjected to TAXES and FEE's galore from the Government and local municipalities not to mention the costs related to any industry. Just to open the doors of a small business these days is extremely expensive and the left overs or profits are slim which is why most trades have to charge $100 an hour or more to be legitimate. Not to mention whats in store for the future.

Its only getting worse. Now there's incentives you have to be a transgender scuba diver with 16 toes

90 dollars an hour is still too damn low, I feel we're worth more than that.

[@NJtroutboss]

Worked for 14 years for other companies. Last place would send u on a roof in an ice storm. Didn't care. I started my own biz with 1 job lined up. Best decision I ever made. But if it fails you're the only one to blame. Don't do it if u can't grasp that fact.

[@plumber1874]

Land lords and rental management companies= low and slow pay. Residential dealing directly with the home owners is the best way to go leads to word of mouth advertising

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

Bingo. Good job Curtis keep up the good work. Somebody has to take those low/slow paying customers. I’ll keep passing them all to guys like you. They slumlords are loving you, all the way to the bank.

[@Garth2011]

So are warranty insurance companies but at some point, when starting out you have to do what you can to get things rolling. No business starts up and that same year the owners are making good profits.

[@soydelrancho]

Property managers and landlords are extremely cheap tho.
