Tommy Mello

CEO & Founder of A1 Garage Door

When I started Home Service Freedom, my vision was clear: to help home service business owners grow and scale like I did—but without making all the same mistakes. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the best in the industry—mentors like Al Levi, who taught me the value of systems, leadership, and building a business that runs without you.

I’ve built my company into a $220M+ operation, and I know what it takes to grow something from the ground up. That’s why I’ve handpicked the team here at HSF with intention. Every team member has been brought on not just for their skills, but because I know they believe in this vision—and they’re committed to helping you bring it to life. We’re here to support you, guide you, and help you experience the kind of freedom and success that brought us here.

In addition to my role here, I’m also the CEO of several successful businesses. I know what it takes to build, lead, and grow companies in the real world, and I’m passionate about using that experience to help our members win. Whether it’s strategic planning, team structure, or dialing in your brand, I’m here to help you build something sustainable, scalable, and truly successful.
