Business Coaching for Plumbing Companies

35 years in the trenches.
Now it's your blueprint.

Derek Gomez took a plumbing company from zero to $4M in year-one contracted bids, built and sold service in one of the most competitive markets in the country, and answered thousands of homeowner calls himself. He's not a consultant who read about plumbing — he ran the truck, then ran the company. Now he'll show you exactly how.

Sound Familiar?

Running a great plumbing company and running a great business aren't the same skill.

Most small and family-run plumbing companies grow to a ceiling and stall there — not because the work isn't good, but because nobody ever built the business side. Derek has seen the same handful of problems on job sites and in office trailers across the country.

→

Revenue depends entirely on the owner being on every call, every bid, every decision.

→

Pricing and bidding are gut-feel, not a system — so margins disappear on the bigger jobs.

→

Good techs are hard to find and harder to keep, and there's no real hiring or training pipeline.

→

Marketing is whatever worked last year — a truck wrap and word of mouth — with no repeatable lead flow.

→

Commercial and contract bid work feels out of reach, even though it's the highest-margin path to real growth.

→

The owner is exhausted, the business is the owner, and there's no plan to change that.

Derek Gomez — Founder

Derek has spent 35 years as a commercial and residential plumber, including taking startups to successful, established companies in Orange County, California — one of the most fiercely competitive markets in the country. He took a commercial plumbing operation from zero to over $4 million in contracted bids in its first year alone, while personally completing thousands of homeowner service calls over the course of his career.

More recently, he founded and launched a successful AI-powered DIY home app, bringing the same instincts that built physical businesses into a modern software product. Today he works directly with small, family-run plumbing companies to install the systems, pricing, hiring, and growth playbooks it took him three and a half decades to build.

How It Works

One relationship. Three phases. No fluff.

01 / DISCOVERY CALL

We look under the hood

A free, no-pitch strategy call. Derek walks through your numbers, your bottleneck, and whether he can actually move the needle for you — honestly, before any money changes hands.

02 / YOUR BLUEPRINT

A plan built for your shop

Not a generic playbook. A specific plan for pricing, hiring, lead flow, and bid strategy based on what's actually true about your company, your crew, and your market.

03 / ONGOING COACHING

Implementation, not theory

Regular working sessions to install the systems, review the numbers, and adjust in real time — the same way Derek built his own companies.

Who This Is For

Built for owner-operators, not franchises.

✓ This is a fit if...

You own a small or family-run plumbing company doing residential, commercial, or both.
You're the bottleneck in your own business and you know it.
You want to bid and win larger contract or commercial work.
You're ready to build real systems — pricing, hiring, marketing — not just work harder.
You want a coach who's actually run trucks and crews, not a career consultant.

✕ Probably not a fit if...

You're a large regional or national franchise with an existing ops team.
You're looking for someone to run day-to-day operations for you.
You're not open to changing how pricing or hiring currently works.
You're outside the trades entirely — this playbook is built for plumbing.

Questions

Before you book the call

Pricing depends on the scope — one-on-one coaching, a specific project (like building a bid/pricing system), or ongoing monthly advising. We'll talk through the right fit on your free strategy call before any commitment.

Yes — this is built specifically for small and family-run companies, not enterprises. Most of the highest-leverage fixes (pricing, hiring your first key hire, winning your first real contract bid) matter most at exactly this size.

Absolutely. Derek has run both sides for 35 years. If commercial/contract work is something you want to grow into, that's a specialty — but it's not required.

We'll design a cadence that fits a working owner-operator's schedule — typically a recurring call plus focused between-session work, not another full-time job on top of running your company.

A straight conversation about where your business is stuck, whether coaching makes sense, and what it could realistically do for you. No pressure, no script — if it's not a fit, Derek will tell you.
