How it operates
The clearest cautionary tale in Florida home services. Founded in Hollywood, FL in 2017 by Anthony Perera, it grew to ten service locations across Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Texas and Washington on 250+ employees before taking strategic growth financing from Peak Rock Capital in September 2021 and expanding aggressively into Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Perera stepped down as CEO in 2022. Air Pros Solutions filed Chapter 11 in the Northern District of Georgia on March 17, 2025, secured $20 million of new financing from its existing lender, and announced six separate Section 363 going-concern sales to break up the platform. In June 2025 Perera reacquired the legacy Florida operations — including the Tampa market — through his own firm Exuma Capital Partners, along with Drain Genie (plumbing) and Personalized Power (generators/electrical).

Researcher notes: The six Chapter 11 buyers are not named in the company's own release and remain a gap. Tampa is named as a served market in the 2025 reacquisition release but no separately branded Tampa Bay company was identified, so tampa_bay_brand_slugs is empty.
