From Vision to Industry Pinnacle: The Growth of HomeX Services

HomeX Services was founded on a simple belief: great home service businesses deserve a growth partner that respects what has already been built. Founder and Executive Chairman Michael Werner came to that belief through personal experience. After beginning his career in mergers and acquisitions at Goldman Sachs, Michael joined his family business, Werner Ladder, where he rose from field sales to President and helped grow the company from approximately $100 million to more than $500 million in revenue. 

That experience gave him a firsthand understanding of the decisions business owners face as they grow, seek outside capital, and consider the future of a company built over years or generations. 

Michael later led Globe Union Group’s North American operations before founding HomeX in 2016 

Today, HomeX is focused on operating and growing home and commercial service businesses. We partner with owners who have built respected companies in their communities and invest in the people, technology, operations, marketing, and resources that can help those businesses continue to grow. 

Our goal is not to erase what made a company successful. It is to strengthen it. 

That philosophy continues to guide HomeX partnerships: respect what came before, invest in what comes next, and recognize that choosing the right partner is about far more than a transaction.
