Today we’d like to introduce you to Mauricio Sopo.
Mauricio, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born and raised in Colombia, and like many immigrants, I came to the United States with big dreams and a strong desire to build a better future. I started working in different jobs, learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, and discovering the opportunities this country offers to people who are willing to work hard.
Over time, I found a passion for helping others improve their homes and living spaces. That passion led me to launch my own company — DIMAS Services — a handyman and renovations business focused not only on high-quality craftsmanship but also on trust, communication, and great customer experiences. Step by step, project by project, I built a team and a reputation in my community.
While growing the business, I also discovered a bigger mission: to inspire and support other entrepreneurs, especially Hispanics who are trying to build their dreams just like I did. That pushed me to become a motivational speaker and start creating content that encourages people to take action, overcome fear, and believe in their potential.
Today, I am proud to lead a company that is growing, serve my local community, collaborate with great organizations, and share my story to help others move forward. And honestly, I feel like this is still just the beginning of the journey.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road — but that’s what makes the journey meaningful. When I arrived in the United States, I didn’t speak the language, I didn’t understand the system, and I didn’t have many resources. I had to start from zero and work my way up. There were moments of uncertainty, financial challenges, and times when giving up felt like the easy option.
Building a business also came with its own struggles: finding clients who trusted a new company, competing in a market where quality and reputation matter, and learning everything from permits and inspections to leadership and customer service. And of course, balancing work and personal life while trying to grow has never been easy.
But every obstacle helped me develop resilience, discipline, and faith. I learned to surround myself with the right people, to invest in constant improvement, and to believe that hard work always pays off. The challenges have shaped who I am today — a stronger entrepreneur and a person committed to helping others overcome their own barriers.
We’ve been impressed with Dimas Services home solutions LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Absolutely! My company is called DIMAS Services — a handyman and renovations business proudly serving homeowners, realtors, and families in the Lowcountry area. We specialize in custom carpentry, home renovations, and improvement projects that transform a house into a more beautiful, functional space. From wood beams, bookshelves, and shiplap accents to bathrooms, flooring, painting, and repairs — we handle a wide range of interior and exterior services.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to trust, communication, and craftsmanship. Many homeowners struggle with unreliable contractors, poor communication, or unfinished work. We focus on delivering the opposite experience: showing up when we say we will, listening carefully to what our clients want, providing fast responses, and ensuring every detail reflects quality and care.
I am especially proud of the relationships we’ve built over the years — most of our clients come from referrals and repeat business. Our goal isn’t just to complete a project; it’s to elevate the comfort and lifestyle of every family we serve and make the renovation process stress-free.
At DIMAS Services, our motto is simple:
“We Build, We Repair, We Transform.”
We want readers to know that no matter the size of the project, we take it personally — and we are here to turn their house into a place they truly love to live in.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Yes — I would love to share something that truly drives me. I believe that every person deserves to live in a space that inspires them, and every entrepreneur deserves a chance to turn their dreams into reality. My journey is a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin — you just have to start.
I’m grateful for the trust of the community and the opportunity to serve homeowners and families here in the Lowcountry. And as I continue growing my business, I’m also committed to giving back — especially by supporting and inspiring other immigrants and entrepreneurs who are working hard to build a better future.
To anyone reading this: believe in your potential, take that first step, and don’t stop — great things are built one decision at a time.
