How I Built a Business That Worked for Me - and How You Can Too
I’m Phil Black, founder and owner of Custom Deck Creations, where I started a small residential construction company and grew revenue 50%+ every single year while transforming it from an exhausting, owner-dependent job into a scalable, systems-driven business.
I’ve lived the contractor life – sleepless nights, juggling projects, worrying about cash flow, missing family time, and making expensive mistakes because there was no roadmap. Over the years, I invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours figuring out what works, so you don’t have to.
Now I help other contractors shortcut that learning curve and build a business that actually works for them. You’ll get:
- Proven frameworks for growth, profit, and systems
- Leadership and hiring tools to free you from day-to-day chaos
- Step-by-step personalized guidance to transform your company into an asset instead of a burden
- Support and accountability from someone who’s already done it
If you’re ready to stop “owning a job” and start owning a business that serves your life, you’re in the right place.

Here is What 1in20 Members Are Saying
Phil offered practical steps that helped me take huge strides forward that would have taken me months or years to do on my own. He guided me in hiring the right people, offered me a proven payment structure, and has shared with me many of the secrets behind his innovative ideas that has made his business be incredibly successful.
After working with Phil for a year, I have done 250% more in revenue than the prior year. Whenever I have been stumped on how to solve a problem or what step to take next, I have been able to rely on Phil to help clear the obstacle and make a clearer path forward. I'm starting to see how the business can run without me. If you’re serious about turning your contracting job into a real business, don’t wait. This program has definitely paid for itself."
What truly sets Phil apart is his mindset and character. He is always available, always willing to help. And deeply invested in the success of the people he coaches. His approach is rooted in trust, loyalty and a genuine desire to see others win. Phil is results-oriented without ever losing sight of people, and that balance is rare. I’m incredibly thankful for what he’s taught me about leadership, discipline, confidence and thinking bigger, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without his influence."
What stood out most was not just his knowledge of the software, but how thoughtfully he applies it to real-world business challenges. He broke down his processes clearly and shared actionable strategies that I could immediately relate to and implement.
Beyond the business side, Phil is simply a great person.. approachable, genuine, and passionate about helping others succeed. I’m grateful for the conversation and the perspective he shared."
Working with Phil Black 1-on-1 at 1in20 completely changed that.
I’ll admit I was skeptical at first! Relating to the 1-on-1 coaching, instead of always jumping in and telling me what to do, Phil guided me through a process that also helped me figure it out for myself. Over the course of six sessions (weeks), we built a clear vision for my business, mapped out how to get there, identified what could hold me back, and put systems in place to track progress and address issues before they become problems.
By the end of it, I had a level of clarity and direction I simply didn’t have before. I now feel confident in our plan to grow the business and, just as importantly, I have a way to measure whether we’re actually on track and make adjustments when needed.
What made this experience especially powerful is that the ideas and solutions came from me (with Phil’s guidance). That gave me a much deeper level of understanding and buy-in.
If you’re serious about growing your business but feel stuck or unsure how to get there, I can’t recommend Phil enough. His coaching is thoughtful, structured, and genuinely impactful!"

You Don't Have to be Stuck Anymore
Most contractors start their business dreaming of freedom.. whether that’s financial freedom or time freedom, and pride in building something lasting. But somewhere along the way, the dream slips into stress, late nights, and a job that owns you. (Or could if you’re just getting started.)
I know, because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to feel trapped inside your own business. It… sucks.
That’s why I created 1in20. To give residential contractors a simple, proven framework to grow profitably, reclaim their time, and finally have the life they set out to build.
This is not theory. It’s practical, easy-to-implement systems, tools, mentoring, consulting, and coaching you can quite literally start implementing today, each with actionable takeaways to make you more profit, save you time, and give you greater freedom (whatever that means for, and don’t worry we cover that too). You’ll learn how to increase revenue, fix cash flow, build systems, and lead a team, all without burning yourself out.
The truth is, only 1 in 20 contractors make it out on their own. It can be a lonely journey. But with the right coach and the right framework, YOU CAN BE THE ONE! If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the hard first steps. You’re showing up. I believe in you.
What is 1in20?
Built By a Contractor, For Contractors
1in20 is an exclusive network of non-competitive contractors designed to help you skip years of trial and error and instead get practical, actionable strategies you can implement immediately to launch, grow and/or scale your business.
The 1in20 name comes from a hard truth: only 1 in 20 small businesses make it past 10 years. Our mission is to help you beat those odds and build a company that gives you both freedom and success, not just stress.
When you join 1in20, your market is protected. No one in your market doing what you do can join your group. That’s a core promise of the program. 1in20 is not a market-to-the-masses generic coaching program. I truly care about each and every member of 1in20, I get to know you personally, get to know your business, get to know your challenges and successes. There are only 3 groups within 1in20 and each group only has up to 50 members. Once you join, your competitors aren’t allowed into your group. That means if your competitors have already joined, you may not be able to.
This structure gives you freedom for you to ask real questions, share what’s actually working, and be vulnerable about your struggles without worrying that the person across the table is your competition.
1in20 is a group of like-minded business owners of residential remodeling, outdoor living, home building, landscaping and home services companies. Together, we collaborate, problem-solve, and hold each other accountable in a trusted environment.
Led by Phil Black, founder of a $10M residential construction company, nationally recognized business systems engineer, and small business consultant specializing in residential construction.
1in20 gives you:
- Weekly live calls where you’ll walk away with practical, actionable takeaways
- A proven blueprint of systems, processes, and tools you can implement immediately
- Exclusive networking with non-competitive peers across the country
- Access to join a mastermind group to dive deeper on key challenges and opportunities
- A safe place to test, share, and learn without fear of losing your competitive edge
With 1in20, you’re not just learning, you’re implementing. You’ll gain the exact systems Phil used to grow his construction company from zero to over $8M in 8 years (larger now), and you’ll avoid the wasted time, stress, and costly mistakes of figuring it all out alone.
This isn’t theory. It’s real, it’s practical, and it works.
Who is Phil Black?
Phil Black is a licensed builder, author, husband, and father. He built his own 8-figure residential construction company not from the trades, but from a background in business management and systems engineering, proving that with the right framework and support structure, anyone can build a thriving construction business. Drawing on both his education and real-world experience, Phil developed the processes, playbooks, and leadership strategies that grew his company to $8M+ in revenue. Now, through 1in20, he helps other construction business owners do the same: cut through the noise, skip the trial-and-error, and build businesses that deliver both profit and freedom.
Your Guarantee
Within 30 days, we’ll uncover at least $25,000 in hidden opportunities inside your business — wasted time, lost profit, untapped revenue — and then over the next six months, we’ll work side-by-side to implement the systems that unlock it.
Every 1in20 member saves time, cuts waste, and generates massive new revenue. Most see hundreds of hours reclaimed, tens of thousands in costs eliminated, and hundreds of thousands in additional revenue. That’s why I call it The Triple Guarantee.
And here’s my promise:
If you don’t feel those results taking shape in your business within six months, I’ll personally work with you at no extra cost until you do. That means extra coaching, additional support, and even free months inside the membership if needed.
We’re in this together 💪
Your Investment Pays For Itself
- One bad hire costs you $50,000. Fixing that pays for the program multiple times over.
- One lost $30,000 job is more expensive than this entire program.
- One inefficient process wastes hundreds of hours every year. Streamlining it pays for the program many times over.
- One pricing mistake can cost you tens of thousands in lost margin. Getting it right even once covers your investment.
- Even one of the hundreds of smart systems or tools included in 1in20 can save you thousands per month in overhead.
- 1in20 delivers an immediate ROI!

All together, the tools, coaching, templates, and systems inside 1in20 are worth well over $75,000 (not even yet taking into account the value they bring or even the opportunity cost of not implementing them). But because of our exclusive model, you don’t pay anywhere near that.
The investment is less than the cost of one bad hire… less than the margin lost on a single mispriced job… and a fraction of the growth you’ll unlock when your business finally runs with clarity, systems, and profit. (You’ll learn how to avoid these costly mistakes!)
And remember: your market is protected. Once your region is taken in your group, it’s gone for good. (I can only take on so many clients at a time, and you don’t need your competitors learning the same things you’re implementing!)
FAQs
Common Questions
What is 1in20?
1in20 is a coaching and systems membership for residential construction owners who want to thrive both in the short-term and the long-term. You get a protected market (no competitors in your group), twice-weekly small-group masterclasses, 1on1 coaching, and plug-and-play tools for pricing, hiring, handoffs, scoreboards, and more, built by a contractor for contractors. No theory dumps, no upsell maze.. just the operating system you and your team can run next week so you get clarity, profit, and time back.
Only 1 in 20 small construction businesses make it ten years. 1in20 exists to make sure you’re the one. With the right systems and processes, you ARE the one! You’re showing up. I believe in you.
Learn more here.
Is 1in20 right for me?
If you run repeatable projects (decks, basements, kitchens/baths, roofing/siding/windows, remodels, new homes, electrical/plumbing/HVAC, landscaping, etc.), are under $10M in revenue, and want more profit, clarity, and time with less headaches and less chaos, this is the program for you. In fact, I guarantee it.
Can I afford this?
Well let me ask you this: can you afford not to do anything?
What if you did nothing, decided not to go for it. Would you expect different results? Didn’t what you know now get you to where you are now?
Think of it this way… one mispriced job, one bad hire, or those dreaded recurring callbacks… all often cost more than the entire annual 1in20 membership itself. Just one of those things. You’re already paying for it! So you see, the issue really isn’t the price of the investment, is it?
Fixing the system is usually the cheapest option.
I don't have time right now. Should I wait?
Are you home every night by 5pm? The best thing you can do for yourself and for your family is to learn to be a new leader.
What if you could make 30 years of income in 7 years, would that change your life?
Are you so wrapped up in your business you forgot what you wanted out of it in the first place?
This isn’t a huge time commitment: about 5 hours a month. It’ll start influencing your day-to-day thinking. You’ll start substituting what you’re doing now with this new way of thinking. And what you’ll notice is that this won’t take up any more time at all. Joining will be a net saver of time.
You are the critical variable here. You need to take the time and spend the money to invest into you own education, even if it’s not here. Leadership makes all the difference.
How is 1in20 different from generic coaching?
Construction-specific playbooks, non-competing groups, and live implementation. No theory dumps, no upsell maze. Everything you need to build a thriving, successful residential construction company is inside the 1in20 membership.
I (Phil) have personal experience creating and growing a very large, successful, profitable construction company. I’m not one of those influencers that hasn’t done it themselves. I still own my business, but the business now operates without me (guilt-free shoutout to my team! They’re AWESOME!).
What results can I expect, and how fast?
30-90 days: Cleaner pricing, fewer fires, tighter weekly execution, new ways of thinking as the leader.
60 days: Joining the program has already paid for itself.
Quarters 2-4: Stronger profit, more team capacity, real time back for you.
And if you’re not feeling momentum within six months, the Triple Guarantee is activated: extra coaching, added support, even free months if needed, until you move forward.
What do I actually get inside?
- Twice-monthly live workshops covering all topics of running a residential construction company
- Monthly office hours + priority Q&A when you’re stuck
- “The 1in20 Vault” filled with done-for-you playbooks, templates, assessments, dashboards, checklists
- Searchable library of recent trainings
- Multiple courses designed to provide you an instant ROI on your investment
- Quarterly 1:1 coaching including a kick-off deep-dive call when you join
- High-converting website at an exclusive rate
- Bring your partner/spouse/key team member
- Daily “1% Better” professional and personal motivational email
- No competitors in your group
All led by Phil Black himself. You won’t be passed onto someone else.
How do I get started?
Apply → Kickoff Call → Onboarding + your first wins. You’ll know fast if this is the right room.
If your business already works, why coach others?
For me, this is the fun part! I built a company that runs on systems; teaching those systems is my craft. I’m financially secure enough to keep 1in20 small and obsessively effective. I love training and I love seeing business owners win. Your wins are my scoreboard.
Will I be grouped with my competitors?
No. Your cohort is market-protected. There are only 3 groups within 1in20, each with up to 50 members. Within each group, no competitor from the same market serving the same primary services are allowed to join. This is done with extreme purpose. Members can openly share numbers and strategy without competitor overlap. Once your region’s seat is claimed in your cohort, it’s locked. If your region is already reserved for all groups, join the waitlist and we’ll notify if a seat opens or a new cohort is forming.
Need a more intimate group? There are also exclusive Masterminds you can join, each with up to 10 members, also non-competitors.
What sort of time commitment is required?
Plan for a minimum of 5 hours a month to see real movement. Most serious owners choose 10-20 hours a month to build faster: diving into multiple live and recorded masterclasses, office hours as needed, and focused implementation time with your team. All masterclasses are recorded and designed to be plug-and-play. The aim here is to give you time back quickly by cutting rework, drift, and decision bottlenecks. If you can consistently budget 5 hours a month, you’re ready; if you can carve out 10-20, you’ll compound results even faster.
What if I'm already successful but feeling a bit overwhelmed with my business?
We’ll install simple operating systems, clear roles, weekly scoreboards, clean handoffs, etc. (business and owner specific) so the business stops leaning on you for everything. Wouldn’t that be nice…
What if I'm just getting started?
Perfect. Early-stage owners often get a very quick lift because we install the right foundation right away. If you’re serious about building a real business, 1in20 gives you the playbook and cadence to move fast.
Your first 30-90 days typically include:
- Clarifying your offer and ideal jobs (repeatable, profitable work)
- Pricing and estimating templates that stop underbidding
- A simple sales process (scripts, follow-ups, proposals that close)
- Basic ops rhythm (weekly scoreboard, roles, handoffs)
- Lead-gen essentials, and access to the members-only website package if you choose
You don’t need a big team or fancy systems. We’ll give you the systems. We’ll teach you how to find the best people to join your team. The Triple Guarantee still applies: if you’re not feeling momentum in six months, I’ll work with you until you do.
Is this an intro price that jumps up later? Is anything held back?
No teaser games. Your membership includes the full program from day one: live implementation masterclasses, tools/templates, office hours/Q&A, community access, the current training library, the vault, etc.
To keep you from drowning on day one, previous masterclass recordings are dripped out monthly so you can implement as you learn.
There’s also an optional, limited-seat Mastermind for owners who want deeper accountability and hot-seat coaching. This is extra but it’s entirely optional and not required to get results. Just an extra lane for those who want it.
Are the masterclass classes recorded?
Yes, but confidentially. Your face, voice, company name, chat questions, verbal questions, etc., none of that is recorded. In any recording, you can only see and hear me or the expert guest speaker.
Do I get 1-on-1 time with Phil?
Heck yeah! Inside the kickoff call and our quarterly 1:1’s. Plus time during our twice-monthly live masterclasses, monthly office hours, and any optional mastermind group you may join. If deeper help is needed, I’ll jump in directly.
I've tried systems before. What makes these stick?
Most other systems fail for one simple reason: they were built by someone who had not done it before, for someone else’s business, then handed to you as homework.
Totally different here at 1in20.
Our systems are designed specifically for business owners of residential contractors and home service businesses that can benefit from practical tools, not theory. They’re built, and proven, to work in the real world with busy schedules, changing jobsites, team members with different skill levels, and owners who don’t have hours a day to “manage the system.”
What makes 1in20 different is that these systems, processes and procedures are built from someone who has been in your shoes before, and is still running a construction company. Every framework inside 1in20 was stress-tested in real residential construction businesses. They’re designed to flex around the way you actually operate, not the way a textbook says you should.
We know that if a system is complicated, it dies. 1in20 systems are simple enough to implement and use right away.
1in20 is built for accountability to give you momentum, to give you consistent discipline. You’re supported by coaching and community, not left alone after download #1 or #47. We help you implement, refine, and stay consistent.
1in20 is designed for all stages of your business: launch, growth and scale.
The truth is, systems don’t fail because they’re “bad.” They fail because nobody helped make them usable, relevant, and repeatable.
That’s where 1in20 is different. You don’t just get systems; we help you make them part of how your business runs.
Do you offer a done-for-you website option?
Yes. Members can opt into the 1in20 Website Package at a members-only rate, with free website hosting and technical updates forever while you’re a member. If you ever leave, the site goes with you (nothing is held hostage).
Optionally, we also offer exclusive rates on SEO and PPC (Google Ads and Facebook Ads) packages, as well as video production, with the best construction marketers in the country.
Is there a contract?
1in20 is for business owners who are serious about making a lasting impact on their business and their life, not tire kickers or dabblers. Making many improvements over time is longer-lasting than trying to make all big improvements in a day.
For those reasons, there is a one year commitment. A year gives us the runway to install systems, build rhythm, and compound wins across quarters.
Why a year:
- Compounding beats dabbling: Real change needs quarters, not weeks.
- Cohort quality: Your region-protected seat stays stable so candor and accountability stay high.
- Proven cadence: Masterclasses → install → measure → refine. This cycle works best over 12 months.
You get everything needed from day one, and the Triple Guarantee still applies: if you’re not feeling momentum by six months, we’ll spend more 1-on-1 time until you do.
What if my region is already taken?
If your region is spoken for, you’ll be added to the waitlist. When a seat opens, we prioritize fit and readiness.
Why only 50 members per group?
I cap the group size to ensure every member gets the personal attention and support they need to succeed. This isn’t a volume play, it’s about curating a small, focused group of dedicated business owners who are serious about getting results. This approach allows me to maintain a high-quality experience and guarantee that no two competitors are in the same room.
Why is the price so accessible?
The investment to join 1in20 is accessible enough to get started, yet meaningful enough to ensure you’re fully committed to doing the work.
The group format keeps the investment manageable while delivering significant value. I believe the return on investment is obvious, making it a powerful and efficient way to grow your business.
