Hello everyone
I wanted to share a great opportunity I was presented with. A commercial general contractor was so impressed with me when his friend asked him he knew someone who could manage and grow his residential plumbing company so he could step down in three years he highly recommended me. The company is an hour north of here, close to most of my family actually. It has three master plumbers and nine journeyman and helpers in the field. The shop manager is on his way out, hasn’t been performing good and says he’s moving to Ohio and the owner is pushing him out.
I have been in commercial trades construction for 15 years, 12 years plumbing starting as a plumbing estimators helper. I have a knack for plumbing. Love the trade. Work for a great company almost 8 years now and always exceed my customers expectations, which is why I was referred.
Talks with the owner have gone really good so far and I’m meeting him at his shop next week. Talks with my company’s owners have been encouraging. I’m just a little worried about transitioning into residential. I know I will put in more time, effort, work, and research than is expected. I want this residential company to grow to it’s full potential and if it‘s to be, invest in a commercial division. I’m just hoping for the best.
Plumbing is my job and my hobby. I don’t have a wife or kids so it can be my total focus.
If you have any advice going from Commercial to Residential, I’d love to hear whatever comes to your minds.
If your an owner of a residential plumbing company I’ll answer any questions to clarify for your advice and opinions.
