Who you're letting into your house
Six trucks, fourteen years, and not one person here paid on commission.
How we got here
Redbud started in 2012 in a rented bay off Parkwood, with one truck and a rule that hasn't changed since: no technician here is paid on commission.
Annie Vasquez had spent nine years at a large Dallas company where technicians earned a percentage of every system sold. She watched good people slowly stop repairing things. The incentive wasn't hidden or unusual — it was simply the job, and it quietly turned diagnosis into a sales call.
So Redbud pays flat, publishes its repair prices, and measures before it sizes anything. Fourteen years on, most of our work still comes from somebody's neighbor, and we still fix a great many systems that other companies have already condemned.
How we work
Measure first, quote second, sell never
Every replacement starts with a load calculation and a static pressure reading, because a system sized by looking at the old nameplate is a system sized by looking at somebody else's mistake.
We don't run “today only” pricing. We don't send a comfort advisor after the technician. And we don't open anything up until you've seen the flat-rate price and said yes.
