ESOP

In today’s construction industry, many companies are quick to highlight phrases like “employee-owned” in their marketing but not all ownership structures are created equal. There’s a major difference between a company that is partially employee-owned and one that is 100% employee-owned. At 20/20 Plumbing & Heating, that difference defines who we are, how we operate, and why our clients trust us project after project.

What Does 100% Employee-Owned Really Mean?

When a company says it’s partially employee-owned, it usually means that only a small percentage of its shares are distributed among employees while most ownership remains in the hands of executives, founders, or outside investors.

In contrast, 20/20 Plumbing & Heating is 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). That means every eligible employee, from the field to the office, owns a stake in the company. Every project we complete, every dollar we save, and every client we serve directly contributes to the long-term success of our employee-owners.

Our success doesn’t go to a select few, it’s shared across the entire company. When we say we’re all in this together, we mean it.

How Ownership Translates to Better Results

When people have ownership, they act like owners.

That’s what makes working with a 100% employee-owned company different.

At 20/20 Plumbing & Heating, our crews take personal pride in their work because the company’s success directly impacts their future. That sense of responsibility creates a culture where every employee-owner is invested in quality, safety, and efficiency. Not because they have to be, but because they want to be.

Here’s how that benefits our builders and clients:

1. Accountability You Can Count On

Every 20/20 employee-owner understands that their reputation and retirement are tied to the success of every project. This means fewer mistakes, higher quality installations, and a stronger commitment to doing things right the first time.

2. Long-Term Partnerships Over Short-Term Profits

Because our team has a vested interest in the company’s future, we focus on lasting relationships rather than short-term gains. Builders trust us because they know we’re not chasing quick wins, we’re building stability, reliability, and mutual success.

3. Exceptional Retention and Experience

Employee ownership attracts and retains top talent. Our people stay and grow with the company, bringing years of experience and consistency to every jobsite. That means our builders work with experienced, well-trained crews who understand the 20/20 standard.

4. Safety and Quality That Reflect Pride of Ownership

Every 20/20 employee-owner has a personal stake in the quality and safety of our work. From the way we model and fabricate to the way we install in the field, our pride of ownership drives us to exceed expectations. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because protecting our people and our reputation is part of what we own together.

5. Financial Strength and Stability

Being 100% employee-owned also means we’re debt-free and financially independent. We don’t answer to outside investors or private equity firms. Decisions are made in-house, by people who understand the work and care about doing it right. For builders, that translates to reliable scheduling, transparent communication, and confidence that the job will get done on time and on budget.
