This is your roadmap — whether you’re just kicking tires, ready to launch, or already running jobs and trying to tighten things up. Pick where you are and follow the path. Everything links out to the full guides, calculators, and templates.
Get legal and legit
LLC or sole prop, EIN, business bank account. Do this first — everything else builds on it. Getting this wrong early costs real money to fix later.
Know your numbers before you quote anything
Set your rates, understand your overhead, and know your break-even. Too many operators underprice themselves out of business in year one.
Get your first customers
Google Business Profile, door hangers, referrals. You don’t need a big budget — you need a system. The first ten customers are the hardest.
Run the job right
Safety, scheduling, quality control, protecting customer property. This is where your reputation gets made — or wrecked. Processes beat hustle every time.
Scale without blowing it up
Crew, cash flow, commercial accounts, when to hire. Growth is only good if it’s profitable. Most operators grow broke — don’t be one of them.
