Angela Wallace, CEO of Byrd’s Maintenance & Plumbing Services in Houston, Texas has become a trusted resource for elderly people.

Byrd’s Maintenance & Plumbing Services has over twenty years of trusted experience, they offer full residential and commercial plumbing services.??

How did you get started? Was this a family owned business?

I had no desire to pursue plumbing.? I applied for an office job and my boss mentored me for twenty one years.? I learned a lot about property management. Later after his passing, those shared experiences with my mentor encouraged me to open up the company with my own credentials.?

What are you most proud of about your business?

I’m proud that I started from the ground up.? I created my own platform.? I started off with no equipment and no funding.? Currently, I have two vans that are paid off and more than half the tools we use are paid off.?

What is one thing about your business that keeps you up at night?

Larger scale jobs keep me up at night because I want to ensure everything moves accordingly. I stay up all night double checking to see if I have the proper equipment and documentation before every job.?
