Erick Schmittou
Beaumont, CA 92223
Cell 559-***-****
I am a California contractor with my C20 and C38 license number 772256 for heating, venting, air conditioning and commercial refrigeration. I started my company as Erick Schmittou Repair Service in April 1999 as an appliance repair technician, California license number C61515. I received my contractor’s license in December 1999. In 2001 I started hiring employees, in 2007 I had seven employees. 1 Office, 3 Technicians, 1 Installer and 2 General labor. In 2007 I changed the name to Fresno’s Top Gun so I could sell and retire early, due to the recession I was unable to sell. In 2010 I let the last employee go and worked alone since, in 2024 I changed the name back to Erick Schmittou Repair Service since I am no longer in Fresno California. I want to work to supplement my retirement income, not to rebuild a company.
