Some of the contractors we work with have a great sense of humor. They don't take themselves too seriously and find a way to poke fun at their work. Here are some of my favorites, but I'd love to hear about yours!
- Port a Potty - My absolute favorite is BBI and their Port a Potty slogan - We're #1 in the #2 Business
- Insulation Installation - What happens when you install fiberglass insulation? You get I&S Insulation - aka Itchy & Scratchy!! Love that name!
- The Greater Portland Tree Company has a 'We Save Kittys' sign on their bucket truck. And guess what, they really have gotten calls to rescue cats!
So, what contractors have you seen that have a sense of humor about their name or tag line?

Back in the "80's when I worked for a construction company one of our sub contractors was called 'Rapid Erection'. No lie.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that was their name!!! I think that's the winner Deb!
Delete"Grimm Collections" works out of a store front near us. Not a contractor but definitely one of the most appropriate business names around.
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm curious......what are the collections? Fairy Tale characters????
DeleteThey are bill collectors.
DeleteBill collectors??? Sooooo funny!! I guess it helps to have a sense of humor in that business!! Thanks so much for that one :-)
DeleteOur septic tank company is similar tho the first one you posted... The company is called, Yesterday's Meals on Wheels (ew!) and their slogan is "We are your #1 for your #2" And on the side of his tanker it says, "Contains Political Promises". He is the nicest guy too! Great marketing. Oh yeah, and he left me two coffee mugs with his slogan and telephone number on it. I serve coffee to my special guests with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide which is funnier - Meals on Wheela or Political Promises!!! What is it about this line of work that gives them such a great sense of humor??? Hysterical! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteFriend installed counters and named his business Counter Productive. I asked him 'does that make people want to hire you?' he said 'you'd be surprised'
ReplyDelete^^^I love the "Contains Political Promises" ^^^ Good stuff
Our septic tank company is called Voracius :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had a tiled ceiling put up in our basement, the guy's company was called...and I kid you not..."Well Hung".
ReplyDeleteI saw a truck at a jobsite not long ago. It read. "INSULATION by ITCHY and SCRATCHY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is my favorite though... Check it out!
