About | SOMO Business Solutions

Where It All Began

From a Single Trade
to a Full Network

It started simply — a handyman with a truck, a set of tools, and the drive to do good work. No big office, no fancy pitch deck. Just showing up, solving problems, and earning trust one job at a time.

Over the years, that simple start grew into something much bigger. The work got more complex, the clients more demanding, and the skills sharper. One trade led to another. One connection led to a network. Carpentry, tile, flooring, painting, drywall, remodeling — each craft mastered not from a textbook, but from years of real hands-on work in real Bay Area homes and businesses.

What started as one person with a toolbox became a team of seasoned tradespeople, project coordinators, and field professionals — each with deep roots in their craft and a shared commitment to doing things right.

The Journey

How We Got Here

Every step of the way, we were learning, growing, and building the network that SOMO is built on today.

The Beginning

Started With a Toolbox

It began with handyman work — the kind of jobs most people overlook. Fixing what's broken, building what's needed, showing up when called. Small jobs, but done with pride and precision.

Growing the Craft

Mastering the Trades

One trade wasn't enough. Carpentry, tile work, flooring, painting, drywall, full remodels — each skill added to the last. The work spoke for itself, and the referrals kept coming. Clients stopped calling a handyman and started calling a craftsman.

Building the Network

A Family of Skilled Professionals

Years in the field introduced us to the best people in every trade — plumbers, electricians, GCs, specialty installers, suppliers, and business owners. Not just contacts in a phone book, but real relationships built on trust, shared work, and mutual respect. A network that feels more like a family.

Today

SOMO Business Solutions

We took everything — the skills, the experience, the network, the hard-earned knowledge of the Bay Area market — and brought it together under one roof. SOMO is that idea made real: a professional business solutions company backed by genuine trade expertise and a trusted network built over years of real work.

Why It Matters

We Know This Work
From the Inside Out

Most business support companies have never held a tape measure. We have. That difference shows in everything we do.

Real Trade Experience

We've done the work ourselves. That means we understand timelines, challenges, and what it actually takes to get a job done right in the Bay Area.

A Network Built on Trust

Our contractor and trade network wasn't assembled overnight. These are relationships built over years of working side by side — people we'd personally vouch for.

Bay Area Through and Through

We know this market — the neighborhoods, the expectations, the pace, and the people. There's no substitute for that kind of local knowledge.

One Portfolio, Many Solutions

We brought everything together under one roof so our clients don't have to chase down multiple vendors. SOMO is the single call that connects you to everything you need.

What Drives Us

Our Values

The same values that guided the work on day one still guide everything we do today.

Reliability

When we say we'll be there, we're there. Our clients depend on us for accurate, timely field support — and we take that responsibility as seriously as we did our very first job.

Craftsmanship Mindset

We came up doing the work with our hands. That respect for doing things right — no shortcuts, no cutting corners — is baked into how we approach every project and every client relationship.

Local Knowledge

Years working in Bay Area homes, jobsites, and businesses gave us an understanding of this market that you simply can't get from the outside. We bring that knowledge to every engagement.

Community

SOMO was built on relationships. We treat our clients, our trade partners, and our network the way we'd want to be treated — like family. That's not a tagline. It's how we've always operated.
