Today we’d like to introduce you to Greg Bloskey.
Greg, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was primarily inspired, for the handyman business, by a couple of late relatives who knew how to fix everything. I have a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Management, and actually sat for the CPA Exam, and was in Trucking Compliance for years, but have lived in a vintage 1916 building all my life, on a large property and learned how to do a lot. It was my relaxation and then I went into business doing it when the transportation firm changed hands. The late founder of the transport firm, who hired me, was a tremendous mentor as far as my business goes: I owe him much.
I’ve received accolades form the Better Business Bureau, Angle’s List and others. It is personal for me since good workers are scarce and I am almost always in the field myself. Mine is a blend of commercial and private work…all clients know I stand for quality. A couple of clients have suggested I teach the trade…I am looking for an opportunity in that venue.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Struggles: Acclimating to meet public demand, finding good workers, balancing my personal life.
Please tell us about No Job Too Small.
What we do: various non-structural work…no roofing. We’ve caulked, replaced locks, installed handicap bath hardware, repaired porches, sidewalks and handrails, freed stuck drawers, replaced fencing, repaired doorbells, paved and much more. We’ve replaced US flags and replaced lighting at cell phone towers. I am proud of all of the customer reviews and of the ad that ran on WJOB Radio a few years back (another testimonial). I received a Business of the Month award from the local Chamber of Commerce. I keep my word and give a 10 per cent discount to families who adopt animals… I attend trade shows and offer economical alternatives to people in order to match their budget. I have a customer roster of over 600.
What sets us apart? I rebuilt an old illuminated beer sign for a customer who could find no one else…I’m proud of that one.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Tried to learn more quickly to focus on what I know, and not on promises of workers…after all, my name is on the business so to speak.
