Jim Johnson (video creator and speaker) comments on consolidation in the home services industry, praising Integrity Home Services for allowing contractors to keep their brand and culture while protecting homeowners from unscrupulous contractors. He contrasts firms that think like "Main Street" (industry-aware, contractor-focused) with those that think like "Wall Street" (more financial, less industry-savvy).
Is this consolidation that's going on in our industry and I wish all of my clients would call me and like let's talk about this as we roll for and it doesn't always happen. I wish it would because I've had this chance to kind of see all the different versions. I really like what Integrity Home Services is doing. I like that the contractor gets to keep his brand is to keep his culture. They're all headed on this protecting the homeowner or consumer from unscrupulous contractors. But I think that fits with high level raise the bar contractors. That's a, that's a good mission to have and I like that they had this corporate team which I don't see in a lot of the roll ups. That's the corporate team that actually understands our industry. I've seen corporations but they, they are thinking more like Wall street and that kind of thing. They're not thinking like Main street and Main street of a different animal.
