What does it really take to scale a general contracting business from a solo operation into a full-service machine that dominates the market?

In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, Adam McChesney sits down with Bryson Kinkade, owner of Kinler Services, to unpack his journey from Army infantryman to leading a growing, full-service restoration company. Bryson shares how Kinler Services helps property owners recover from storm, fire, wind, and hail damage while handling everything from concrete and roofing to complete restoration projects.

Bryson shares how he transitioned from doing it all himself to building the team and systems needed for sustainable growth. In this conversation, Adam and Bryson discuss:

• Mastering the insurance landscape as a market differentiator
• Navigating insurance claims to better serve clients
• Transitioning from solo operator to team-led scaling
• Managing remote partnerships and production teams
• Key lessons from five years of business growth
• Acting as a liaison for homeowners vs. adjusters

About me:
I’m Adam McChesney: an entrepreneur and marketer who’s spent the last decade building and scaling service-based businesses. I’ve been on both sides of the table: running companies myself and helping other business owners grow through smarter, more disciplined marketing.

I’m the founder of Builders of Authority, where I work with service businesses to improve visibility, strengthen their brand, and build marketing systems that actually perform over time. Everything I share comes from real experience, what I’ve tested, what’s worked, and what hasn’t.

Today, I create content, speak, and have honest conversations about marketing, growth, and leadership, with one goal in mind: helping business owners stop relying on last-minute tactics and start building something sustainable.

Built for the contractors the market keeps overlooking.
