One of the biggest transformations in the home improvement sector is not being driven by AI but instead by fair pricing. For years, home improvement projects have been plagued by uncertainty, with plenty of stories about inflated costs, sudden price increases, and delays. However, Capital Pro Services has shifted power back to customers by offering them transparent pricing from the get-go. For over ten years, its contractors have been painting homes, installing bathtubs and solar panels, repairing damage from floods and fires, and in general making houses into sanctuaries – all for fixed prices. Below, Scott Tripp, the founder of Capital Pro Services, talks about his journey to rebooting the home improvement industry and making it into what it should be: on the side of customers.

“I started Capital Pro Services after becoming very frustrated when I worked with a contractor on a home project,” Scott explains. “The person may have been qualified, but they were very difficult to work with. Their services and pricing structures were hard to understand, and I spent far too much time trying to settle on a plan for accomplishing the project. There were also the usual cost overruns. The whole experience convinced me that what the industry needed was transparency and a genuine collaboration between the contractor and the customer.”

He started with the basics: fixed pricing. Scott saw no reason why there could not be a predetermined cost for a particular service or project, whether it was repairing a screen door or installing insulation in an attic. The advantages would be the avoidance of unexpected cost escalations and more peace of mind for consumers, who would have a clear understanding of what they would pay upfront.

“No one likes ambiguity in pricing, so putting that transparency back into the business model was important to me,” says Scott. “As an added bonus, it would eliminate haggling from the customer-contractor relationship, which had been a significant source of tension in the past. Simple and clear – that was my goal.”

Honest pricing would also provide the engine for faster completion times. Homeowners would be able to create realistic budgets, which would translate to an ability to secure financing and expedite both the project planning and approval process. It was easy to see that Scott’s business model would be a win-win for his customers and contractors alike.

With this mission, Scott launched Capital Pro Services in 2013 and has since grown rapidly across Virginia. His vision of a home contractor that is transparent and honest has led to a company with a long list of loyal customers. 

“What my team and I have found is that by offering fixed pricing, we are able to be a source of steady guidance and help for homeowners,” he says. “Let’s face it – we come alongside them at some of the toughest times in their lives. No one likes it when their plumbing breaks and the house is flooded. It definitely makes your day worse when your roof or chimney has to be repaired. However, when you are able to pick up the phone and call a contractor you trust, that makes the whole process far less stressful and much easier.”

Looking ahead, Capital Pro Services aims to expand its presence in five different markets, with a projected revenue target of $150 million per year. This ambitious goal reflects its commitment to growth and excellence in the sector. Additionally, the company is set to unveil a new showroom in Chantilly, Virginia, enhancing its presence in the home improvement market. One of its aims is to educate consumers about common issues in homes and properties as well as the tips and tools for addressing them. 

“We have also partnered with the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance to promote sustainability within the roofing industry and protect the planet,” Scott reveals. “Our mission started with the introduction of fair pricing into our local market. We are now using our abilities and success to support the community and the world. It goes to the heart of who we are at Capital Pro Services: servant-oriented, authentic, and committed to helping those around us through unwavering integrity.”

The barber industry plays a significant role in the global personal care market, and has shown steady growth – it’s part of the men’s grooming sector, which is projected to reach $81.2 billion by 2024. Despite issues with the current economy, barbers provide essential services that will always have a place.

In the United States alone, a typical barbershop serves approximately 1,125 customers per year, highlighting the consistent demand for barber services. The industry’s overall revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.6% to an estimated $4.9 billion by the end of 2023, which indicates its resilience and enduring appeal. The barbering profession has true economic vitality, as well as a capacity for recovery and sustained growth, even amidst fluctuating market conditions.

Making it Modern

But even a robust industry needs to keep up with the times. That’s why Gino Villegas founded Barbershop Brotherhood, a platform that leverages technology to revolutionize how barbers manage their businesses and engage with clients. Barbershop Brotherhood integrates a sophisticated mobile application with a comprehensive Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. And that offers barbers the tools they need to streamline operations such as appointment scheduling, client information management, and financial reporting. 

This modern approach can vastly improve efficiency and reduce the administrative burden on barbers. And it improves the customer experience by facilitating smoother interactions and more personalized service. In an evolving industry, embracing such innovations is crucial for barbers who wish to remain competitive and meet the increasing expectations of today’s tech-savvy consumers.

Tech Advancements

This is why, at a recent industry gathering, Villegas presented an articulate vision for the future of his platform. He emphasized a strategy that includes continued technological innovation, geographical expansion, community building, and sustainable practices, targeted at broadening the platform’s impact and enhancing its services for the global barber community.

Villegas highlighted that the core of the platform’s ongoing development will focus on technological advancements. These updates are set to streamline business management processes for barbers, improve customer interaction capabilities, and broaden the scope of educational resources. The strategic focus is intended to maintain the platform’s competitive edge by continuously integrating cutting-edge technology that responds to the dynamic needs of the barbering industry.

Market Expansion

The expansion strategy for Barbershop Brotherhood certainly involves enlarging the platform’s market presence; however, it also includes reaching underserved areas where the local barbering community lacks advanced technological tools. Villegas pointed out that expanding into new geographic areas is crucial for the platform’s growth. This approach seeks to empower barbers across various regions, enabling them to leverage modern tools to grow their business operations and customer service.

Community Building

Villegas’s vision focuses on the reinforcement of community amongst barbers. Barbershop Brotherhood seeks to cultivate a supportive network where professionals can share insights, learn from one another, and collaborate on initiatives. Villegas believes that mentorship programs, improved networking opportunities, and collaborative events are fundamental in nurturing a vibrant community. These elements are pivotal in helping barbers to grow individually and contribute to the collective advancement of the barbering profession.

Sustainability Initiatives

Villegas and his team are well-aware of the importance of environmental responsibility. Thus the Barbershop Brotherhoods maintains a deep commitment to integrating sustainability into the platform’s expansion and operational practices. The company plans to adopt eco-friendly practices and promote sustainability in all aspects of its operations, in order to make a positive impact on the communities it serves. A planet-first approach demonstrates the company’s dedication to ethical practices and social responsibility within the industry.
