About Carolina Basement Systems of North Carolina

About the Owners

Larry Janesky is a successful business owner, author, speaker, and inventor with 29 patents. With more than 30 years of business experience, Larry has gone from being a self-employed home services contractor to an authority on creating and growing businesses.

Larry is the founder of Contractor Nation, the largest and most successful network of home services contractors in North America. Through the network, he has formed personal relationships with many business owners including the founder of Carolina Basement Systems, Josh Smith. Josh built his business into a multi-million-dollar operation then decided it was time to live out his passion for serving those in need. So, in August 2019, Josh sold his company to Larry who is now operating the company.

Managing Owner of Carolina Basement Systems, Rich Pomales, is partnered with Larry Janesky with the mission of improving homes across North Carolina. Rich has over 20 years' experience in the residential contracting industry with specific interest in waterproofing and repair work. This experience led Rich to Larry's network called Contractor Nation where they developed a friendship that later turned into a business partnership. Over the years Rich has developed his skills in leadership that now drives the culture at Carolina Basement Systems by always seeking to do the right thing by his customers and employees.

Other than his pride in Carolina Basement Systems and the work we do across North Carolina, Rich has a family of 5 that he admires deeply. He spends most of his free time with them but enjoys activities such as basketball, lifting weights, trying new foods, and thoughtful conversation. His biggest goal as managing partner of Carolina Basement Systems would be to see our team grow as the most trusted and relied upon contractor in North Carolina.
