Owner Reid Rupp's journey to buying JP Exteriors hasn't been easy. He didn't have luck or an inheritance, just a long-term vision and practical thinking that allowed JP Exteriors to thrive.
Recently, Reid has shared his story on the podcast Blue Collar Ballers, which includes his story on how he started co-owning JP Exteriors. This article will cover some of the things you need to hear about during the episode.
Reid's Humble Beginnings
Reid's business journey started at the age of 14, when you posted a newspaper ad for Lumberjack Lawn Care. This small operation allowed him to build a foundation for providing a service business.
With hard work and steady growth, Reid had grown to have 85 accounts for his lawn business. As a senior in high school, balancing schoolwork and a business was no easy feat.
At 18, Reid decided to sell the business to a local competitor and use the money to fund his college education. The long-term vision of Reid allowed him to graduate debt-free and set himself up for success.
Buying JP Exteriors
At 25, Reid partnered with a friend to purchase JP Exteriors, which is a leading exterior remodeling company in Austin, TX. This was only the start of a tough journey that Reid mentions in the Blue Collar Ballers episode.
Owning a business is challenging, with things like operational issues and professional relationship problems. These are all issues that most people don't see, but are a true reality for many business owners.
Building Efficient Systems
A turning point for the business was when Reid had a collapse in gross margins and needed to reevaluate the business's operations. This gave him the inspiration to rebuild processes, teams, and utilize a new lead generation method.
Now, the business is doing better than ever and is scaling, with Reid preparing to purchase another business. The goal is to create a national remodeling company that provides top-tier work for customers throughout the country.
