Texas Trades & Manufacturing Industries
Built for the trades.
The core of this practice is the trades. I owned and operated HVAC and plumbing businesses and participated in the sale of a metal fabrication shop; the neighboring verticals below share the same buyers, licensing pressure, and field-labor economics. Each page says plainly where my experience is first-hand and where it is adjacent.
