Zero to $86M in 24 Months: The Home Service Growth Blueprint
Owned and Operated - A Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC Business Growth Podcast
What We Do: Service Offerings and Average Order Value
Noah details Premier's one-day bathroom remodels, wet vs dry jobs, and the rise of AOV from $11.7k to $18.3k.
In this special re-release of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with AJ and Noah of Premier Home Pros to unpack how they went from a dining-room-table idea to $15M in year one, $86M in year two, and a national rollout—without taking on debt. They break down the sales system, affiliate-led demand gen, installer model, and the ops math behind a ~46-day greenfield payback. If you’re scaling a home service business, this is the blueprint.
