I left there to start my own business cause the owner wouldn't help me renegotiate a deal with those customers and his business was failing due to revenue that hadn't been changed in over 15 yr and his costs were far to high for what he was bringing in so I ened up with his contracts after he had to shut down and I had my business for 12yrs and we decided to move to Florida to be closer to family and help out family i had 4 guys total including myself we did everything from remodeling to new construction sewer repairs and replacement Water service repairs and replacement to fixture repairs and replacement we allude a good relation and we were able to talk to each other and not have that boss/ employee atmosphere
