John runs a tub refinishing business that started long before he became the owner. His father originally launched the company in San Bernardino, California, and John eventually took over, bringing new energy, new systems, and a bigger vision.
He’s been running the business for about nine to ten years, starting in California and recently expanding into Arizona.
Growing a local trade into a multi-state operation
Tub refinishing is a niche industry, but John has positioned himself as one of the best in his area. He sees himself as “the tub guy,” and his business performance backs that up.
He consistently outperforms competitors, earns referrals, and even has other professionals reaching out to him for advice on how to run their business better.
John’s long-term goal is to take the company nationwide. What began as a local family business is now something he hopes to franchise across the United States.
He’s also working on transitioning from being hands-on in the field to becoming more of a strategic leader, something he told his wife he’s ready for as the business continues to grow.
Why efficiency and technology matter to his growth
As the business expanded, John knew he needed better systems. He wanted to streamline scheduling, communication, and credibility, especially as he entered a new market.
He also recognized that adopting modern tools would help him spend less time on manual tasks and more time on leadership.
His mindset is simple:
“If I’m not progressing, my competition will be doing better than me.”
That’s what pushed him to start using digital tools, including Bookipi’s AI Website Builder.
How Bookipi helped John build a website and work smarter
John didn’t want something complicated. He wanted something fast, easy, and effective, something that could help him market his services while also helping him run the business more efficiently.
With Bookipi, he was able to:
- Build a clean, professional website without technical skills
- Make his business more discoverable in California and Arizona
- Access tools that simplify day-to-day operations
- Save time as he works to transition into a more strategic role
- Keep everything in one platform instead of juggling separate tools
Even though he doesn’t consider himself tech-savvy, Bookipi made the process simple enough that he could get up and running quickly.
Who should use Bookipi, according to John?
Here’s what he had to say:
“To the average business owner—whether you’re just starting out or have been doing it for a while—anyone looking to make their job easier, Bookipi is the place to start.
It’s made my daily life and business a lot easier. It’s helped me grow my company in a lot of ways.
It makes a lot of tools accessible for the average person who isn’t super up to date on technology, and it helps you move forward in the right direction.”
Small business growth, backed by the right tools
John’s story is a familiar one: a family business passed down, rebuilt, and scaled through hard work and smart decisions. His focus now is growth, efficiency, and building a business he can pass on to his children someday.
And with tools like Bookipi helping him modernize, he’s moving toward that goal faster than ever.
