In this episode of CEOs You Should Know, we sit down with Brian McMahon — an entrepreneurial powerhouse who took the reins of his family’s business and transformed it into one of South Pittsburgh’s go-to home improvement and repair teams. As Owner and CEO of Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh, Brian brings over 7 years of hands-on leadership and business management experience to a company that helps homeowners and businesses solve their toughest property needs.

From his early hustle — kicking off ventures as a teen — to mastering the art of running a local services company, Brian’s journey is a testament to grit, community focus, and smart scaling. Under his guidance, Ace Handyman Services has become a trusted name across Monongahela, Bethel Park, West Mifflin, and beyond, tackling everything from drywall and carpentry to aging-in-place renovations with integrity and craft.

In this conversation we explore:

• How Brian’s entrepreneurial spirit shaped his leadership style
• Turning a hobby-driven start into a thriving home services business
• The balance between hands-on craftsmanship and strategic management
• What it takes to build trust in your community one customer at a time

If you’re curious about leadership lessons from someone who literally helps keep homes running — and who believes no job is too small — this is a CEO worth meeting.
