As young men, brothers Esteban and Javier Najera explored the idea of starting their own business. Although neither man had business experience or capital for their venture, each had a big heart and an eagerness to forge into the challenge of business ownership. So, with an old pick-up truck, an air compressor and $500 in cash they went into business. At the same time Javier stayed in college part time while working full time at the shop. Esteban also took classes and performed volunteer work at his local church, Saint Patrick's Proto-Cathedral. In the early days, it was tough and, whenever they completed a job running to the bank to deposit the check immediately was a common occurence. But as they became known and their reputation spread they developed a solid, dependable business with a large base of loyal customers. And although it was a very challenging time for Esteban and Javier, it was also very rewarding.
