Castillo’s Story

Becoming an Expert

Acquiring the expertise to excel in a construction field requires at least three years of dedicated effort, encompassing hands-on learning and applying skills to real-life projects. After quitting his insurance sales job, Jackson decided to become an expert with 6-inch aluminum seamless gutters. This decision fit perfectly with a career to protect the homeowner’s investment.

Two close family friends, Cameron and Brady, are the owners of Baxley Gutters and Aluminum. The Baxley is a high-quality seamless gutter contractor in Ruskin. Jackson worked for Baxley for about a year and learned all about rain gutter installation from experienced professionals. Jackson found the work easy and fulfilling. He developed his hands-on skills and expertise by working directly on the job with gutters, fascia, soffit, underground drainage, aluminum enclosure screening.

Cameron and Brady were astonished by how quickly Jackson picked it up; he was a natural and achieved excellent results. Later, the Baxley brothers helped Jackson start his business, Castillo’s Gutters and Aluminum LLC. Jackson will always be grateful to Cameron and Brady Baxley for their help and on-the-job training.  Jackson loves this work and is very proficient at doing it!

Lesson from Pappy

Jackson’s Grandfather is affectionately known as Pappy in the family. Pappy owned a local body shop. While Jackson was growing up, everyone knew about Pappy’s shop, Castillo Paint & Collision. The shop had a sterling reputation for the area’s best bodywork and excellent paint jobs. Pappy was hardworking and honest, took pride in his work, and delivered top-quality results. The shop was Pappy’s pride and joy . Pappy invest his time, money and emotions to grow the business to his standards of excellence. Pappy was always busy, he thoroughly enjoyed the work  and was recognized in Tampa Bay as providing exceptional service.

Pappy’s believed you don’t learn a work skill to just do it; you learn a skill to become an expert to achieve perfect results and you never stop learning or honing that skill.  Pappy’s skill belief was taken to heart by Jackson. The lesson learned from Pappy is “You perform a work skill to be the best at it.” While on the job today, you will find Jackson coaching his employees to perform the best practices to achieve excellent results that not only aesthetically look great, but are built with the best craftsmanship and is durable to last.

 When the time came for Pappy to retire, he sold the business for a fair price. The new owner ran Pappy’s original body shop differently and not to Pappy’s standard or the way he would provide results or customer service. The company he sold failed and broke Pappy’s heart.

With the Castillo company name, Pappy’s auto body shop made a deep impression on Jackson. He sees his business, Castillo’s Gutters and Aluminum, as a legacy that will keep his family name alive and the Castillo brand reputation intact.

Jackson’s personal vision is to build  his business that kids will be proud of and want to be part of. Not any business, but the Castillo family business that will deliver the highest-quality service and value. Jackson’s wants to pass his business down to his children. His plan is to get his kids involved early, teach them the business, how to treat customers, and continue to deliver the highest-quality services as a family tradition. This was the most important lesson learned from Pappy.
