100% Employee-Owned: The ESOP Playbook for Contractors

Dave Wageman is the new CEO of Hometown Restyling, a nearly 40-year remodeler in Eastern Iowa, and they just made a massive move: the company is now 100% employee-owned. We unpack why they chose employee ownership over private equity, what changes (and what doesn’t) when every employee becomes an owner, and how Dave is setting the company up for the next wave of growth as leadership transitions and retirements roll through 2026–2027. We also go tactical on the operating system behind the transition: why they’re doubling down on EOS, how their lead engine works (TV → website, social, aggregators), and how smart remodelers stay resilient when housing and politics get noisy.
