Brian Estes with Estes Services

00:00 /

Brian Estes is the Vice President at Estes Services.

Estes’ mission is to carry on the tradition of integrity and quality service that was started in 1949 when Estes was founded. They will always strive to employ the best people and provide the most efficient, cost effective service and equipment, as well as offer the best warranties available to their customers. Since their company was founded in 1949, literally hundreds of heating and air companies have come and gone in the metro Atlanta area. Most fail because the original owner did not cultivate the right management team and there was no one to take his place. Often a business retires with the owner! Luckily their company was able to make the transition from the first generation (N. B. Estes) to the second (Tommy Estes) and thrive since 1949. Most second generations don’t make it but they are in the unique position to have the third generation (Brian Estes) in place along with a management team centered around him and General Manager John Waldorf that will allow the company to continue an even greater growth path than ever before. They’re excited about the future of Estes Services and you can be sure that if you allow them to work for you they will do everything possible to be sure you receive the highest level of service – their reputation depends on it! Based on their volume they are in the top 5% of all the heating and air contractors in the country but they are still a family owned and operated business and will never lose the personal contact they now have with their customers. If you ever need to talk to ‘the owner’, give one of them a call because if something is not right they want to know about it! They sincerely care about their valued clients and would love for you to be part of the ‘Estes family’.

You can connect with Estes on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and you can also learn more about their involvement with Canine Assistants.
