Home Services Owners

Plumbers, roofers, electricians and builders who became empires.

44 profiles, published in 4 installments. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Forty-four profiles, across four installments, of the owners behind the trades: plumbing, roofing, electrical work and building — the unglamorous companies that keep houses standing, and became empires doing it.

The installments feature Adeline Thomas, Aizik Zimerman and Alek Ivanov; Dave Menz, Dustin Mitchell and Christy Hampton; Josh Skolnick, Ken Goodrich and Kit Whittington; and Mike Andes, Ismael Valdez and Nate Agentis, among many others.

Home services rarely make magazine covers. They make payrolls, fleets and multi-city operations. These profiles give the trades their due: ownership stories told trade by trade, with sources linked throughout.
