Are You Offering Too Many Services? More Services = More Complexity (And Less Profit)
It’s tempting to say yes to everything. A client needs new tile? Sure. Pressure washing? No problem. Roofing, painting, drywall, gutters, fencing, pavers — you name it, we do it.
But here’s the problem: every new service adds overhead, complexity, equipment, and management burden. If you’re not careful, you become a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none — and your profits suffer.
Real World Mistake & Lesson: I worked with a contractor who offered over 12 services. His crews weren’t specialized, and estimates were all over the place. Equipment was shared, downtime was high, and mistakes were common. We helped him pare back to 3 core offerings that were high-margin and in high demand. Within six months, profits improved, jobs went smoother, and client satisfaction rose dramatically.
