Why Chad Howman
Stands Out

Chad Howman is the Founder and CEO of Baths R Us and a home improvement executive with more than 30 years of experience spanning installation, canvassing, event marketing, sales, operations, production, and executive leadership.

In 2020, he founded Baths R Us and built the company around specialization, employee development, trained W-2 installation teams, disciplined job costing, and production systems designed to grow alongside sales. Today, Chad's companies generate more than $35M in combined annual revenue, while Baths R Us has become a Qualified Remodeler Top 500 company with a multi-state operating footprint. His current authority centers on operational excellence, recruiting and developing production talent, profitability, high-performance teams, customer experience, and scaling home improvement companies without allowing operations to fall behind growth.

Where Chad Has a
Point of View

Scaling home improvement operations without outrunning production Building high-performance installation teams Why home improvement companies need internal apprenticeship programs W-2 installers versus subcontractor models How job costing protects profitability during growth Why specialization makes home improvement companies easier to scale Aligning sales promises with production capacity Recruiting and retaining skilled production talent Building accountability into home improvement operations Scaling a bathroom remodeling company across multiple markets
More sales are not always good growth. If production cannot keep up, revenue can create bigger problems instead of solving them.
You cannot scale chaos by buying more leads.
The installer may have more impact on the homeowner's lasting impression than the salesperson who closed the job.
Specializing in fewer products can make a home improvement company more profitable, easier to train, and easier to scale.
If you do not know your true job cost and gross margin, you do not actually know whether you are growing.
Skilled labor shortages are not solved only by recruiting harder. Strong companies create their own talent through training and apprenticeship.
Sales and operations cannot operate as separate companies under the same roof.
A strong production culture has to treat installers like core members of the business, not interchangeable labor.
