B & B's HISTORY
B&B SERVICES BEGAN SERVING THE WESTSIDE OF CINCINNATI IN 2021 AFTER THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF ONSITE EXPERIENCE & SEVERAL GREAT MENTORSHIPS SPARKED AN ENTREPRENEURIAL FIRE FOR BEN. ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS "PR OUTDOOR SERVICES", BEN WAS DETERMINED TO FIND A WAY TO COMBINE HIS LOVE FOR THE OUTDOORS AND HIS UNIQUE DESIRE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT INSPIRES LIFE OUTSIDE. IT BEGAN WITH A MOUNTAIN OF STUDENT DEBT & A BOLD IDEA TO MAKE A LIVING FROM A BUSINESS THAT DID NOT EXIST. USING A FORD FUSION AND RENTAL EQUIPMENT FROM HOME DEPOT, B&B'S FIRST CLIENTS GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE OURSELVES. NOW, B&B HAS RE-BRANDED FOR THE 2025 SEASON AS WE BEGIN OUR NEXT GROWTH PHASE.
