ABC SERVICES and ALEX SILVA-GOMEZ
I love sharing young business entrepreneurs and Alex shines! He has ambition with a capital "A" and many of you have already seen it in action. Alex is the one to call because "No Jobs Too Small!" Last month you should have read about neighbor Jill Remick's experience working with Alex.
Hello Oakhurst,
My name is Alex Silva-Gomez, but you can call me Alex. I grew up nearby in Lake Orion and graduated from Lake Orion High School. Sorry not sorry! I love Clarkston and everyone I meet here so please keep reading.
BUILDING A BUSINESS
I have been doing home improvement work since before I could even drive. I fell in love with using my hands to create and build — there’s nothing like stepping back after finishing a project and admiring the work you brought to life. Taking a customer’s vision and turning it into something real, something they can walk into and be proud of every day, is one of the most rewarding feelings there is. Now, while studying business at MSU and working toward my builder’s license, I’m building the knowledge, experience, and resources needed to create a strong, reliable home improvement company that always puts homeowners first. My goal is to combine quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and long-term reliability to create spaces that people truly feel at home in.
SPECIALITES
ABC Services specialize in interior and exterior painting, finish carpentry, drywall repair, tile and backsplash installation, exterior trim restoration, property maintenance, and high-end residential improvements. Whether it’s restoring damaged exterior woodwork, modernizing interior spaces, or helping improve curb appeal, our focus is always long-term quality and attention to detail. I understand what it means to doing a job done right. Every project is better than the last. I take pride in work completed by ABC Services. You have my word.
CHALLENGES
Every business faces challenges. One of the bigger challenges I had to overcome when I first started working for myself was equipment. I had the skills from my apprenticeship but the only equipment I owned was my little sedan and a few Home Depot tools. It was rough that first year, renting or borrowing when needed. But I knew if I kept going and continued reinvesting in my business, it would pay off. And it did! Now I have my big beautiful van and all the equipment I could ask for.
LONG TERM VISION
We’re building ABC Services with a long-term vision: to create a construction company that focuses on more than just building homes. Our mission is to provide personalized services that combine quality craftsmanship, functional design, and healthier building practices that improve the way people live in their homes every day.
ADVICE FROM ABC SERVICES
My advice to homeowners is to check your exterior trim boards. When penetration happens they turn into a sponge for moisture and an ideal breeding ground for insects - not to mention an easy access point for bigger pests like rodents and birds. Corners and chimneys are also typical problem areas. If you see any discoloration, holes, and or peeling paint, do yourself a big favor and give us a call ASA You and I both know it is better to take care of an issue early before the problem penetrates deeper in to your home. Little problems don't have to turn into bigger problems.
LAST WORDS
I love to talk, you can give me a call anytime to run home design ideas by a professional or if you’re just looking for guidance on your next project.
