Leadership, Discipline, and Culture: The Growth Story of Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver

Estimated Read Time: 4 minutes

Behind every dependable service call and every carefully resolved issue at Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver is a deeper story shaped by discipline, leadership, and a strong commitment to people. The company’s growth, from $8 million in revenue in 2015 to nearly $25 million last year, with a $26.5 million target this year, reflects more than financial success. It highlights how structure, culture, and consistency translate into better service for homeowners.

A Family Business Steps Into Its Next Chapter

In March 2015, the Tomasek siblings assumed leadership of the family business, transitioning it from their father’s hands-on management style into a more structured organization. At the time, the company operated efficiently but relied heavily on informal processes.

As President and CEO, Lynn Tomasek led the shift toward formal leadership roles, supported by her siblings Justin and Michelle. This change preserved the values their father instilled while allowing the business to scale responsibly. The result was steady growth without compromising service quality, professionalism, or trust, qualities customers continue to experience today.

Leadership Grounded in Collaboration and Accountability

Leadership at Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver is intentionally collaborative. Lynn emphasizes that strong decisions come from listening to diverse perspectives rather than relying on a single voice. This mindset encourages open discussion, shared accountability, and better problem-solving across teams.

At the same time, leadership balances loyalty with responsibility. When difficult decisions are required to protect the health of the team or the future of the business, they are made thoughtfully and with long-term impact in mind. Commitment, doing what was promised regardless of discomfort or challenge, remains a core principle learned from the company’s founder and carried forward today.

Building Strong Teams Through Purposeful Hiring

Finding and retaining skilled professionals is one of the biggest challenges in the trades. Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver addressed this by creating a full-time recruitment role focused exclusively on hiring, rather than splitting that responsibility with HR tasks.

Candidates are evaluated not only on skills but also on personality alignment. Traits such as humility, motivation, and intelligence help ensure new hires fit both the role and the company culture. Once hired, employees are supported through:

• Open-door leadership and frequent one-on-one conversations
• Recognition that highlights effort and “going the extra mile,” not just numbers
• A workplace culture centered on care, respect, and long-term growth

For homeowners, this approach means the technician arriving at your door is invested in doing the job right and committed to delivering a positive experience.

Supporting the Future of the Trades

Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver actively supports the next generation of skilled professionals. Recognizing a growing shift away from traditional four-year college paths, the company invests in apprenticeship programs and partnerships with local schools to raise awareness about trades careers.

By offering clear advancement paths, on-the-job training, and practical incentives like tool support, the company creates opportunities for young workers to build sustainable careers. This long-term investment helps ensure continued access to qualified technicians and reliable service for the community.

Discipline as a Cultural Foundation

A defining part of the company’s culture comes from Lynn’s personal discipline. Her day begins at 3:45 AM, incorporating fitness, mental preparation, reading, journaling, and gratitude. These routines foster focus, consistency, and resilience, qualities that influence leadership decisions and team performance.

Her background in competitive basketball reinforced accountability, teamwork, and mental toughness, which now shape how challenges are approached within the business. These habits are shared openly with the team, reinforcing the company’s guiding mindset of “discipline, secure success.”

For customers, this culture shows up as punctual arrivals, thorough diagnostics, and consistent follow-through.

Learning, Vulnerability, and Continuous Improvement

Growth has also come with lessons. Lynn openly acknowledges past mistakes, including placing individuals in roles that didn’t align with their strengths. These experiences reinforced the importance of putting the right people in the right positions from the beginning.

Vulnerability plays a key role in leadership at Brothers Plumbing, Heating, and Electric - Denver. Leaders encourage honesty, admit when answers aren’t immediately clear, and invite collaboration. This transparency strengthens trust internally and ensures smoother communication during customer interactions.

A Legacy Beyond Revenue

While revenue growth reflects success, the company’s deeper focus is impact. Lynn’s personal mission centers on making a positive difference through every interaction, encouraging others to pursue growth, resilience, and confidence. She views personal pursuits, including modeling, as another way to inspire people to push beyond limitations and embrace progress over perfection.

The legacy being built extends beyond financial metrics. It is about empowering employees, supporting communities, and setting a standard for what a disciplined, people-first trades business can achieve.
