Company History

The business began as a single-truck operation in the late 2000s. Early work came from local referrals and property managers who needed reliable inspections and repairs. Over time, the shop added staff and modest shop space to store parts and equipment.

Growth was steady: the firm kept work focused on common Gulf Coast issues like corrosion from salt air, aging cast-iron drains, and slab leaks in canal-side homes. That practical focus shaped how the company handles inspections and recommends work.

Leadership

Owner Rich Thompson started in the trades and moved into running the service business with hands-on experience. He maintains a field schedule and checks major inspection reports personally. Rich participates in local contractor groups and meets with property managers to stay aware of building trends in Saint Petersburg.
