#66 Steady Home Maintenance (Part 1)

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale a handyman business like a real company (not just a one-man hustle), this episode is for you. In this Handyman Success Podcast interview, Jason Call and Allen Lee sit down with J.R. Crowell of Steady Home Maintenance (Jackson / Flowood, Mississippi) to break down exactly how J.R. built a systems-first handyman company that grew fast — including: ✅ 8 W2 employees (handyman + remodel division) ✅ ~$800,000 in annual revenue (85–90% handyman) ✅ A “business-first” approach with processes, training, and culture ✅ Why adding remodel work is harder than most owners expect ✅ How they stay booked (25–30 leads/week) and avoid schedule chaos ✅ Remote estimating (selling jobs via photos/video) and dispatch systems ✅ Tools + branding + software investments that made them look “bigger than they were” ✅ Culture and hiring: core values, DISC profiles, and building a team people want to join ✅ How they use systems like Jobber + Notion to run training and operations ✅ A membership/subscription model (what worked + what didn’t) This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build a professional handyman operation with strong marketing, strong people, and clear rules for how the team wins. 🎧 Listen in if you want to grow past “just you,” hire A-players, and build a handyman business that can scale.
