A free Slack community for home service business owners: learn, connect, share, and grow
One room for contractors and operators. No ads, no cost. Ask what you can't ask your own team and get an answer from an owner who has already been there.
Run by Ride The Wave, the team behind letsridethewave.com.
The kind of question this room is for
What's actually filling your calendar this month?
How are you pricing a job like this right now?
What are you paying your install crews?
Which CRM did you land on, and would you switch again?
Illustration of the channel setup. Example questions, not real messages.
Actively Trusted By 200+ Businesses
Running a home service business is lonely. It doesn't have to be.
Your crew can't help you price a six-figure job. Your competitor down the street won't tell you what their close rate is. An owner two states over will.
Learn
Pricing, hiring, close rates, and the marketing that worked last month.
Connect
Owners in your trade and your market. Ask the question you can't ask your own team.
Share
Real numbers, real screenshots, real mistakes. Operators showing their work.
Grow
Leave with something you can run this week. More booked jobs, better margins.
Six channels to start with
Say what you do and where you work, and meet the owners near you.

Finding techs, keeping techs, and pay structures that work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you join
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no cost, no trial, and no credit card. Ride The Wave runs the community because we work with home service owners every day, and this is where we learn what's working. If you ever want help implementing something you can ask, but nobody will chase you.
Why do you ask for my business name, website, and revenue?
So the room stays useful. It keeps out people who don't run a home service business, and it lets us point you toward the owners closest to your trade and your stage. Your details are never posted in the community or sold to anyone.
What happens right after I submit?
Your Slack invite appears on the next screen. Joining takes about 30 seconds, then head to #introductions.
Who's it for?
Owners and operators of home service businesses, from first-truck operators to multi-location franchise groups.
Is it going to be a pitch-fest?
No. Pitching other members gets you removed.
