Independent specialists — Texas

Work with Nexta in Texas Built-in refrigeration and premium coffee machines

You do the repair. We do everything that isn't.

Ads, phone, photos, model labels, price talk, no-shows — ours.

Diagnosis, the price on site, the work, the money in your hand — yours.

What do you work on, and which city?

What you keep

Paid the day you do the job, cash or card, from the customer's hand. Not next Friday. Not after we clear it. We never touch your money — there is nothing for us to hold.

You keep $400 of an $850 job. Parts at your cost on top — parts are never split. Sales tax sits on top too, and passes through to the state. Nobody splits that.

  • Built-in fridge, sealed system — $850 ticket · $50 part → $400 to you
  • Jura super-automatic, brew unit — $750 ticket · $40 part → $355 to you
  • Sub-Zero compressor replacement — $1,500 ticket · $400 part → $550 to you

Service call: $89 on coffee machines, $109 on built-in refrigeration.

Decline: the service call is yours in full — it covers the empty run.

Repair goes ahead: it folds into the ticket and splits 50/50 with the rest.

Three jobs cover a professional tool set and every piece of paper you need to start.

Mix of what we actually run — built-in refrigeration, premium coffee and compressor work on Sub-Zero and Thermador. Not a promise, our own numbers.

Other technicians already work this way. Take a job and see.

Why these calls aren't empty

The usual run: you drive out blind, open it up, name a price — and hear "I'll think about it."

An empty run isn't gas money. It's the slot where a $400 job could have been. Two of those a week and you worked a month of Saturdays for free.

Shared leads run $10–40 and get sold to four contractors. Exclusive ones $30–80. We buy ours and hand them to one technician. You never see that bill.

Tell me your ZIPs and I point the campaign at them. Your zone, your specialty — that's what the ads run for.

Here you get the fault, the photos, the model label and the address — and a customer who already knows the range and said yes to it.

You're not selling the price at the door. It was sold before you got there.

You name the final price on site, once you've opened it up. That part is yours.

You're not doing this alone

I started with one job and my own tools. Then I stopped keeping up and began passing jobs to other guys. Four markets and thirty-one people later, you still get me in this chat.

Two of them run whole trades now — coffee machines and handyman work. Both came in as ordinary hires, same as I did.

Setting up solo for the first time? I walk you through it in order — filing, county receipt, insurance, EPA 608 — one step at a time. Nothing you have to piece together from a government website at midnight.

Once your paperwork is done, you're in the chat with the rest of our technicians. Sub-Zero sealed systems, Jura brew groups, columns most shops turn away — someone in there has already been inside the one you're looking at. That's not support hours. That's people who do this every day.

Stuck on a machine? You call, and I put you on the phone with a technician who has already opened that model. Same machines, same faults — a Thermador column in River Oaks is a Thermador column in Beverly Hills.

When a job fits, you agree the window with the customer and run it on your terms.

First job with us, I stay on the line. After that, only when you want me.

What you need to start in Texas

Texas doesn't license appliance repair. Residential refrigerators, freezers and ice machines are written out of the ACR licence by name — sealed-system work on those runs on your federal EPA 608 and nothing else.

Charging sales tax on repair labour in Texas? Most get it wrong. Ask us how it works.

The full list
  • LLC or DBA through the Secretary of State + EIN
  • Sales and Use Tax Permit — form AP-201. Appliance repair is a taxable service in Texas: the tax applies to labour and parts both, 6.25% state plus up to 2% local
  • General liability insurance
  • EPA 608 if you touch refrigerant — federal, does not expire
  • TDLR Residential Appliance Installer if you connect appliances to the electrical supply — $30, no experience required, exam, renewed yearly
  • No county business tax receipt in Texas. Some cities run their own registration — tell us your city and we'll check it
  • No workers' comp required. Texas is the only state where a private employer can go without it

Confirm figures with a Texas accountant before you file — especially sales tax on labour.

Commercial refrigeration and HVAC

Both run on the same TDLR ACR licence, Class A or B.

  • Class A — no size limit.
  • Class B — up to 25 tons cooling and 1.5 million BTU heating. That is three times the heating capacity Florida allows on the same class.
  • 48 months of ACR work under a licensed contractor within the last 72.
  • Liability: Class A $300,000 per occurrence / $600,000 aggregate. Class B $100,000 / $200,000.
  • Anyone assisting a licensed contractor needs their own certified or registered technician designation — $50.

Already hold it? That opens the highest tickets we run — walk-ins, reach-ins, prep tables and ice machines.

Outside these metros we won't offer you work.

Rules don't change retroactively

  • 50/50 from job one.
  • No entry fee. No lead fee.
  • There's no tier to lose, because there are no tiers. Fifty is fifty, from job one to job five hundred.
  • Changes only move forward, with notice ahead of time.
  • We keep the number of technicians per city low on purpose. The work in your ZIPs is finite — spread it thin and nobody makes money on it.
