Employee Ownership

We are 100% employee owned. When we partner with a business, every employee becomes a co-owner.

A Permanent Home for Your Legacy

We are purposefully built to preserve your legacy while driving the next generation of growth, innovation, and customer experience. We are not buying to flip in 3–5 years and have no outside influences.

Texas Through and Through

We focus on Texas because that’s where we live and work. Local knowledge, local relationships, and a real stake in these communities.

The Difference

Learn what makes
Home Star different.

We’re not private equity looking for a quick flip. We’re owner-operators building something permanent — with shared ownership for employees and a real stake in the communities we serve. See how our approach is built around you.

Why Home Star
What We Focus On

The trades we’re
built around.

Lawn care

Lawn Care & Landscaping

The best lawn and landscape operators have spent years learning what actually grows in Texas soil and Texas heat — which grasses thrive, when to fertilize, and how to keep a yard green through a brutal summer. We want to partner with the local experts who’ve earned their customers’ trust one season at a time.

Pest control

Pest Control

Great pest control is built on real entomology — understanding the fire ants, termites, scorpions, and seasonal pests unique to Texas, and treating them with science rather than guesswork. We want to partner with operators who’ve spent years mastering the local ecosystem and built a reputation their neighbors rely on.

Pool services

Pool Care

Texas has more residential pools per capita than almost anywhere, and keeping them safe and balanced through the heat takes genuine know-how — water chemistry, equipment, and the rhythms of a long swim season. We want to partner with the pool experts who treat every property like their own and give homeowners back their free time and a place to enjoy it.

We’re Open

In a different part of
home services?
We’d still love to talk.

Lawn care, pest control, and pool care are where we’re focused — but they’re not where we stop. If you run a home services business that homeowners depend on and you’re thinking about what’s next, we want to hear from you. The trade matters less than the business you’ve built.

Who We Are

The team behind
the mission.

Home Star Alliance is a focused team with deep experience operating businesses.

Our Story

We know the
playbook.
We’re writing a new one.

We came up through the ranks of private equity and investment banking — and we learned how that world operates inside and out. But we’re not here to run that playbook. We believe home services is exactly where a better model belongs: one where businesses are bought to be built, not stripped down.

Unlike traditional PE, we’re not here to extract value — we’re owner-operators committed to making every business we partner with genuinely better: better for employees through shared ownership, and better for the homeowners we all call neighbors.

Home Star Alliance is what happens when institutional expertise meets the conviction that there’s a smarter, more human way to grow.

He also brings hands-on experience in the home services industry, having worked directly with HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical businesses.

He founded Home Star Alliance on the belief that great local businesses deserve a thoughtful transition — one where the owner’s legacy is protected and the people who made it successful are taken care of.

While at SDC, he served as Vice President of Finance & Corporate Development at an internet service provider, where he led five acquisitions and two fundraisings.

Let’s talk — even if you’re just thinking about it.

The best transitions start as conversations between people who trust each other. If you’ve ever considered what’s next for your business, we’d love to help you think it through. No pressure, no obligation.

For Business Owners

Considering Selling
Your Business?

Our Process

Simple. Straightforward.
No surprises.

Selling a business shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. Here’s exactly what it looks like to work with us — from first call to closing day.

01

Initial Conversation

We start with a call — no agenda, no pitch deck. We want to hear about your business, what you’ve built, and what you’re thinking about for the future. No pressure to move forward. This is just two people getting to know each other.

02

Understanding Your Business

If there’s mutual interest, we’ll take a closer look. What we’re looking for isn’t complicated: a proud owner, happy customers, and a team with the culture to keep it going. We do this collaboratively, not like an audit — our job is to understand what makes your business work, not to find reasons to walk away.

03

A Clear, Fair Offer

We put together a straightforward offer that reflects the real value of what you’ve built. We can typically get you an offer within 2 weeks of our first conversation. We’ll walk you through every element of it, answer every question, and give you the time you need to make the right call for yourself, your family, and your team.

04

Close & Transition

Once you accept the offer, we share a formal purchase agreement and get moving. Our data requests are minimal, and we’ll help you pull together anything we need — we’re not here to make this harder than it has to be. We can typically close in less than two months. Your crew stays, your name stays, your standards stay.

Common Questions

Questions we get asked.

From first conversation to a signed offer typically takes 2 weeks. Once you accept, we share a formal purchase agreement and get moving. Our data requests are minimal, and we’ll help you pull together anything we need. We can typically close in less than two months.

We look at your revenue, profitability, customer base, team, and the market you operate in. We present a transparent, straightforward offer — no lowball number to start a negotiation. All terms are upfront so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything. We want you to feel good about this deal long after it closes.

No. The employee ownership structure is something we fund ourselves as part of how we operate. It is entirely separate from the price we pay you for your business. Your check is your check — the ownership your team earns comes on top of that, not instead of it.

That’s entirely up to you. Some owners want a clean exit and that’s completely fine. Others want to stay involved in some capacity — we welcome that too. We’ll structure the transition around what makes sense for you, your family, and the business. That said, we do require a minimum transition period for owners who want to exit, to make sure the handoff goes smoothly and your people are set up for success.

Your crew stays. We don’t buy businesses to restructure them. The people who made your company what it is are the people who keep running it — and under our model, they also become owners. That’s one of the things that makes this a different deal for everyone involved.

Let’s talk — even if you’re just thinking about it.

The best transitions start as conversations between people who trust each other. If you’ve ever considered what’s next for your business, we’d love to help you think it through. No pressure, no obligation.

What Guides Us

What we believe.

Before we talk about deals, terms, or services, it’s worth knowing what we stand for. These four principles guide every decision we make — and every business we choose to partner with.

01 · Above All Else

Integrity &
Honesty

This one comes first, and everything else depends on it. Home services is built on a handshake and a good reputation — and so are we. We put our terms on the table up front, and we do what we say we’ll do. Every other value on this page only counts if you can trust the people behind it.

02 · Skin In The Game

Ownership &
Accountability

People take care of what they own. It’s true of a home, and it’s true of a business. That’s why we’re building Home Star Alliance to be employee-owned. The people closest to the problem make the decisions — because they know the ins and outs of the business. When they’re empowered as owners, they act like owners. They have a real stake in the outcome, and they own it. Accountability stops being a policy and starts being personal.

03 · Our Neighbors

Community

We live here, our families live here, and the people we serve are our neighbors. The owners we partner with built their reputations one customer at a time — and we treat that the same way: take care of your employees, take care of your neighbors, and the rest follows. Our customers aren’t accounts on a spreadsheet. They’re the people down the street.

04 · Raise The Bar

Commitment to
Excellence

Good enough isn’t. The businesses worth partnering with got where they are by doing the work right — and we’re not interested in lowering that bar. We want to raise it. Better tools, more resources, and a standard high enough that the best people in the trades want to be part of it. We’re building an A-plus culture — dedicated to the customer, built on ownership, and committed to excellence at every level.

Let’s talk — even if you’re just thinking about it.

The best transitions start as conversations between people who trust each other. If you’ve ever considered what’s next for your business, we’d love to help you think it through. No pressure, no obligation.

Why Home Star
Why Home Star Alliance

A transition built
around you.

Every owner is different. Every business is different. You’ve spent years building a legacy. You deserve a transition plan that’s just as personal. Tell us what matters to you, and we’ll build the deal around it — not the other way around.

Start a Conversation See How It Works
Tailored To You

No two deals
look the same.

We don’t show up with a template and ask you to sign it. We sit on the same side of the table as you and start with a simple question: what do you actually want?

Maybe you’re ready to step back and spend more time with your family. Maybe you want to take some chips off the table but keep building. Maybe you want your top people to finally have a real path to ownership. Whatever it is, that’s the starting point, and we build the deal terms to fit it.

Your involvement, your timeline, and what comes next are up to you. We’re here to help you think it through — not to push you toward a deal that works for us.

What Makes Us Different

Blue-chip background.
Texas values.

We know how to weigh where a business should go, how to decide which partnerships are actually worth making, and how to be disciplined about it. That part of the private equity world is genuinely useful, and we brought it with us.

What we left behind is the rest of it: the pressure to flip in three to five years, the spreadsheet that matters more than the people, the new name on the building the week after closing. We’re not investing other people’s money and we’re not on anyone else’s clock. We’re building Home Star Alliance for the long haul, not to exit.

Employee Ownership

People take care
of what they own.

When we partner with a business, we don’t just buy it and install a manager. The person who answers the phone, runs the route, or closes out the job treats the place like it’s theirs — because it is. We buy 100% of the business, then we gift equity to the employees who make it run. We believe the best way to serve our customers is to empower the people who serve them.

We Take The Load

Get back to the
part you love.

Most owners we talk to didn’t get into this to chase invoices. They’re great at the work and great with their customers — and then they find themselves handling payroll on a Sunday night, still waiting on taxes that should have been filed, invoicing people 30 days after the job is done.

That’s the part we take. We centralize the back-office headaches so you can get back to growing the business, being in the field, or just being home for dinner.

When it needs to bend,
we don’t break.

Big buyers have committees, mandates, and a deal model they can’t deviate from. We don’t. Home Star Alliance is three people who can make a decision in a room with you. If your situation calls for creative deal terms, an unusual timeline, or a handshake on something that matters to you, we can say yes. This is more than a transaction — and we’ll do whatever it takes to get the transition right for both sides.
