Johnny Palermo

President

Johnny Palermo, President, and founder of HomeRun Maintenance built his career on strong business values backed by the importance of trusting business relationships. Sparked by a childhood passion, Johnny eventually founded HomeRun Maintenance in 2016 after accumulating over 25 years’ experience across a broad range of repair and maintenance industries.

Johnny felt a calling to home improvement as a child, growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, watching friends and family working on his childhood home. His interest never stopped growing, always wanting to hang out and watch the work being performed, learning whatever he could. It was time well spent as he started taking care of properties in the neighborhood before becoming a teenager by performing various activities ranging from landscaping, fence repair, painting, and pool maintenance. As a teenager, Johnny began working with the community on their road maintenance crews earning additional responsibilities, one of which was maintaining the little league baseball fields he played on as a kid. Over the next several years and into his early twenties, prior to entering the automotive collision industry, he would land in various roles with landscapers, masons, and general contractors.

In his early twenties, Johnny began working his way through detailed and occasionally self-taught practices in automotive collision management where he began to understand the importance of and appreciate attention to detail. Reflecting on his automotive career that included 15 years leadership experience, he drew the connection between car repair and home improvement, whether cosmetic or structural. Although the details of the work may be different, the concepts and principles transcend the industries. While quality drywall and paint repairs require significant experience and skillset, sheet metal repairs and high gloss automotive finishes have a lot less room for error.

Johnny shifted his attention from Automotive Collision in 2009 to start his first company in commercial refrigeration parts and hardware distribution and service, Gaskets Rock Carolinas. Over the next 5+ years, he worked on building Gaskets Rock Carolinas and ended up providing service to 1,000+ restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores and hotels throughout the Carolina’s. While providing repairs primarily on commercial properties, clients began to inquire about the possibility of having residential work completed.

Whether it was automotive collision or commercial refrigeration, Johnny could not be deterred from one of his earliest passions and sold his business in 2015 to pursue real estate and home improvement full time. It was his experience as a licensed real estate agent that exposed the demand and need for high quality, reliable home repair and maintenance services as his combined hands-on experience gave him a unique perspective on the industry. Johnny’s enthusiasm has taken him down many avenues, but one thing has remained consistent through it all – his commitment to his values. His success continues to be supported by his strong belief in character and doing business the right way. While trying to incorporate his desire to build relationships on trust in to all that he does, Johnny works daily to exceed the high expectations clients come to expect from HomeRun Maintenance.
