Running a home service business isn’t easy. Whether you’re a plumbing contractor, HVAC contractor, roofing contractor, or electrical contractor, the challenges are the same: hiring and training the right people, keeping up with demand, managing operations, and making sure your hard work translates into profit. Too often, contractors find themselves working harder but not getting ahead.
That’s where CertainPath coaching comes in. With decades of experience helping thousands of plumbing businesses, HVAC companies, roofing businesses, and electrical contractors, our coaches know what works—and what doesn’t.

“I know HVAC like the back of my hand, but running a business? That’s a whole different ballgame. I’m ready to learn what I don’t know – I just want to be sure it’ll really pay off,” Jason says.
If you’re a new owner like Jason – juggling every hat from technician to bookkeeper – you know exactly what he means. Long days, feast-or-famine sales, thin margins, and constant firefighting have you worried that one misstep could sink your young company. You’re driven to succeed for your family, but you’re tired of flying by the seat of your pants. You crave guidance from someone who’s been there so you can avoid rookie mistakes and build a stable, thriving business.
How Our Coaching System Can Help You: We assign you a personal coach who is an expert in contracting businesses – often a former contractor themselves – so you get “in-the-trenches” guidance, not theory.
The result? You shortcut the learning curve, avoid costly mistakes, and gain the confidence that your business is on the right track – all while reclaiming some personal time and sanity.
“I’m ready to admit I need help to reach our potential. Show me the system, show me the numbers… I’ll put in the work. I just don’t want to waste money or turn my business into something we’re not,” says Lisa.
After nearly a decade building a reputable home services company, The business is busy but not growing – jobs keep coming in, yet profits aren’t rising accordingly. Operational inefficiencies and a lack of systems mean things slip through the cracks: inconsistent pricing, mixed-up scheduling, and training new hires by trial-and-error. Lisa is proud of what she’s built and fiercely protective of her company’s culture, but she’s exhausted from micromanaging and fixing mistakes. She’s looking for a way to reignite growth sustainably while preserving the company’s identity.
How Our Coaching System Can Help You: Your coach starts by gaining a deep understanding of your business – its numbers, workflows, and pain points. Together, you’ll identify the blind spots holding you back.
We respect your local, family-business feel. Your coach will suggest improvements that fit your culture and values – you stay in control. And as a CertainPath member, you’ll join a peer network of other contractors who have broken through similar plateaus.
Brett’s electrical contracting business took off like a rocket. Growth is exciting – and overwhelming. If you’re like Brett, you started as a skilled electrician and now find yourself leading a crew and eyeing expansion to another location. But the truth is, your business outgrew your systems. “We have no real systems – everyone just does things their own way,” Brett admits, which led to mistakes like undercharging on jobs and inconsistent service quality. You’re probably fielding calls for every little decision because you haven’t learned to delegate or put managers in place. Revenue is rising, but somehow you’re still worrying about cash flow and wondering where the money goes each month.
How Our Coaching System Can Help You: between being a great contractor and becoming a great business owner. Our coaches have helped many companies navigate exactly this “make or break” growth stage.
You’ll get accountability to tackle those strategic tasks you’ve been neglecting (budgeting, marketing plans, employee reviews) – the things that keep the growth sustainable. And let’s not forget the camaraderie: through CertainPath, you’ll meet other contractors who have “been there, done that” when it comes to scaling up. In workshops and accountability groups you’ll swap experiences and solutions, so you’re not solving every growth challenge alone.
After 25+ years in the business, Jake has seen it all. He’s led a successful electrical company through thick and thin. Now he’s thinking about the future – maybe handing over the reins to a general manager or even family in a few years. If you’re a seasoned owner like Jake, your goals aren’t about explosive growth; they’re about sustaining success, staying current, and creating a lasting legacy. But change isn’t easy when you’ve done things your way for decades. Maybe you’ve tried a coaching program before and felt burned when it turned out to be all hype and high-pressure sales tactics that didn’t fit your values. That experience leaves you rightfully skeptical. As Jake bluntly puts it, “some programs did nothing for me except take my money”. Yet, deep down, you do want to improve – you don’t want to become obsolete or let your loyal team down. You’d welcome fresh ideas, if they genuinely make sense for your business and respect how you’ve built it.
How Our Coaching System Can Help You: We treat our veteran members with the respect they deserve. Your coach isn’t here to overhaul everything or force a “Cookie-Cutter 101” on an industry expert.
We’ll work together on concrete action plans (maybe it’s updating your pricing strategy to boost net profit a couple of points, or creating a step-by-step succession plan for the next 5 years). We provide benchmarking data and best practices from our network of 1,000+ contractors, enabling you to see how your business compares and identify areas for improvement. The goal is to give you fresh perspective and tools to keep your company thriving for the next 20 years, without compromising your principles.
