Plumbing Around, presented by Temecula Winnelson, sits down with Jack Havlicek, owner of JC Plumbing, for a candid look at what it takes to build a resilient trades business in Temecula/Murrieta Valley. Jack started in fast-paced commercial build-outs and medical facilities, then made a hard pivot in 2018 into residential service & repair—and had to learn everything again: cash flow, marketing, trucks, tools, and (most of all) customer service.
He shares why asking for help accelerates growth, how social media became an unexpected recruiting engine, and the business fundamentals owners can’t ignore (reading a P&L, knowing your KPIs, and billing your work—seriously). We talk family, working with his wife Danielle, staying local to protect team morale, and the mindset required to keep leveling up without burning out.
Whether you’re a tech dreaming about your own truck or an owner tightening up operations, this one’s packed with hard-won lessons—and a reminder that we’re in the people business. We just happen to fix plumbing.
