Welcome Message

Letter from the Board President

Hello members and friends of our business community!

It is my pleasure to present to you the 2024-2025 Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s community guide and membership directory.

A little bit about me … I have lived in Solano County for more than 30 years - arriving here with my family from Mexico at age six. Having spent most of my life in this county, I am happy to share I have experienced here some of the greatest, life-changing joys, including everything from meeting my wife at age 16 and gaining three wonderful children, to starting work in construction and eventually becoming CEO of my own business - Bay Hauling, a junk removal business. I was thrilled and grateful to be able to further secure roots in this region by purchasing a first home in Vallejo and a second a few years later.

Contributing to my success has been my involvement with the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Beyond finding value in the Chamber’s business-building resources and workshops, I appreciate the opportunities Chamber involvement has given me to support other local businesses and contribute to economic growth in our region. When the opportunity presented itself, I was eager to step into the role as Chamber president after serving as a member of the Chamber’s board last year.

Chamber advocacy and support of businesses can be seen within this very publication - in this issue, we highlight local grassroots companies representing what the chamber stands for - prosperous hispanic-owned companies in Solano County that are active within the community, and as members of the Chamber.

These businesses are deserving of our recognition and gratitude, as is our passionate (volunteer) leadership team and sponsors. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to take a moment to explore the many benefits of new/renewed membership and sponsorship.

I hope you are inspired to join me in an effort to give back to this great community and increase our opportunities for another great, prosperous year ahead.

Please see within this publication, and/or visit our website at www.solanohcc.com for a membership application, and to learn more.

Let’s make this year a great one!

Juan Vallejos
President, Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Strengthening Your Business

Did You Know?

Top 10 ways the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SHCC) can strengthen your business

Take part in themed mixers, form relationships with other business professionals in the County, and increase your circle of influence in various industries. Mixers are a great way to promote your business, generate leads, nourish relationships and gain visibility in the community. Mixers are typically held once a month. The Chamber also hosts industry-based round table discussions on a regular basis.

Partner with local organizations and SHCC partners for educational presentations, attend no-cost business consulting, and receive informational resources pertinent to your industry. Learn about necessary certifications for businesses or receive help understanding governmental contracts. Other professional development opportunities include English language skills resources, public speaking-building skills, business training for veterans, and streamlined pathways for scholarships.

Aside from the Chamber’s monthly mixers, the Chamber provides opportunities for its members to increase their online presence with social media marketing assistance including crafted social media posts, featured spots on Chamber email blasts and newsletters, job postings on the Chamber website and online directory listings.

Your credibility as a business increases the second you join the SHCC. Local business leaders and community members recognize the SHCC as a credible source for referrals. Businesses may add further credibility by advertising themselves as Chamber members on their storefronts or websites.

Chamber members receive exclusive discounts and the opportunity to negotiate services with other members. Members can also post their discounts to the Chamber’s website, increasing their visibility and traffic.

The SHCC can advocate for you and your business on a county-wide level, assisting with business licensing questions and concerns as well as on a state and federal level by staying aware of upcoming legislation that will affect your business. The Chamber sits down with elected officials to ensure your voice is being heard on a local, state and federal level.

As you become more involved within the Chamber, attending mixers and round-table discussions, your visibility will increase. You will become the point of contact for many in the community regarding your industry. You may even choose to become more involved by joining a committee or the board of directors.

The SHCC offers plenty of opportunities to develop lasting partnerships and friendships within the organization by getting involved on committees, assisting with fundraising and scholarship events, and even creating your own committee to fill a need.

The Chamber receives thousands of contacts per year asking where they should go for products and services. Being a Chamber member allows the Chamber to promote your business and increase its customer base. Business referrals given to walk-in, phone, website or email requests are exclusive to Chamber members.

Aside from educational and informational resources, the Chamber works with partner organizations including the Solano Economic Development Corporation, the Solano Employment Connection, the Solano-Napa SBDC and Solano Community College to provide assistance and timely help for a variety of needs.

Community and Convenience: The Daily Desk’s Full-Service Coworking Model

By Marc Sheforgen

Shawn West had a vision for redefining the concept of coworking spaces. What, he wondered, would demand for remote work desks and offices be like if they came with full service?

The Daily Desk, West’s business of five years at 490 Chadbourne Road in Fairfield, has proved that the idea is a popular one. In fact, they haven’t had a suite available in three years and even the desks are at capacity right now.

“We offer private office suites, open area desks and meeting rooms,” West said. “Then we have a kitchen cafe, mini gym, massage chair, printing, copying, a podcast studio and much more, and that’s all included in a membership.”

Those amenities are one of the key components that make The Daily Desk different from other coworking or remote work spaces.

“We include everything,” West said. “So if you have a business and come to us and say, ‘hey, I need some office space,’ you get a code to the suite, and all you have to do is bring your computer. Everything is furnished. You can print as much as you want. There’s an awesome kitchen cafe with coffees, waters, and everything else included in your membership 24-7.”

Beyond the logistical advantages that The Daily Desk provides, West said clients love the opportunity to work among people in completely unrelated businesses.

“Now, instead of working by yourself or with your dog, you have that sense of community,” West said. “It’s a great place to collaborate and network. That’s a really big added benefit.”

The membership spans a huge range of people working in a variety of industries. The Daily Desk space includes 35 suites, 37 dedicated desks, seven meeting rooms and flex desk seating capacity for up to 100. Membership options range from $279 per month for a limited flex desk to $15,000 per month for the largest suite.

“We have everything from a software company that’s nearly a billion dollar business to mortgage brokers, real estate agents, attorneys, artists, photographers, a staffing company, people that work for large international corporations, the American Red Cross, a radio station broadcasting from here. It’s very, very diverse.”

West runs The Daily Desk along with his daughter, Operations Director Emma West. They both have offices in the coworking space, allowing them the opportunity to stay current with the culture and to continue to evolve their approach to even better service.

“We’re a hospitality business,” he said. “Think of us as a cross between a hotel and a coffee shop with office space. Whatever they need, we’re here to help our members so that they can focus on their business.”

Construction Concierge,
At Your Service

By Matt Beardmore

Sal Rodriguez did not leave his previous employer because he was unhappy – he’s always been an entrepreneur, wanting to run his own business. Twelve years later, Rodriguez could not be more pleased with his decision to build his own company, although he knows as the owner of Solano-based Construction Concierge, Inc. there is always room to grow and improve.

A native of Fairfield, Rodriguez spent 11 years as a licensed union electrician at a company that he said treated him very well. “They were a good company – there was no need for me to move on, but I just wanted to try to start a business and see if it could succeed,” he said. “If it didn’t work out, I could just go back.”

That will not be necessary as Construction Concierge has grown into a successful residential and commercial company focused on quality work and customer service. What started as Rodriguez and a helper in 2012 has grown into a company of 17 experts in various trades.

“We were performing electrical work for clients and then … we blossomed, as our clients asked us to do different types of work,” Rodriguez said. “I didn’t want to become a handyman, so I started to bring in the professionals from different trades who could come in and do the job right.”

Construction Concierge’s customer base is approximately 60% residential and 40% commercial, so it has the flexibility to help all types of customers. “From homes to office buildings to restaurants, you name it – we know there’s a way to get the job done,” Rodriguez said.

Part of what helps Rodriguez and his team get the job done is always being available for customers. “We like to grow our relationships with our clients,” said Rodriguez, who added that 80% of his business is from existing clients. “A majority of my clients have my personal cell. They can call me for any question they have.”

For any questions his employees may have for him about a job, Rodriguez can often be found on site working alongside them. “I still go out in the field – I was just down in Berkeley helping the team do a main electrical panel replacement,” he said. “I may not be a painter, but I can be the laborer. I know the basics and can be a good apprentice.”

Construction Concierge’s service area is mostly Northern California, but Rodriguez said they will extend that depending on client needs. In fact, his team once completed bathroom remodels for an existing client in Lake Tahoe.

With the launching of the new service, a growing number of clients have signed up for Construction Concierge’s Preventative Maintenance Program (PMP), which is an annual membership that provides subscribers with routine assessments of their property, discounted rates, prioritized scheduling and referral credit.

“This program creates a partnership between us and the client, and it helps clients proactively maintain their home and get ahead of major problems and increasing costs,” Rodriguez said.

Along with training staff members to sell PMP, Rodriguez stresses to all of his employees the benefits of continual training. “We want them to better themselves,” he said. “This is going to help the company and it’s going to help us provide the ‘Concierge Experience’ service our clients have grown to expect with Construction Concierge.”

Sharing the Unique Cultural Music and Traditional Dances of Mexico

By Matt Beardmore

Born and raised in Mexico, Yajaira Rubio Machado (Maestra Yajaira) has “a passion to share the unique cultural music and traditional dances of Mexico.” She feels fortunate to be able to do that through Vallejo, California-based Moon Azteca Dance and Art School, a nonprofit she founded in 2015 to “culturally and ethnically enrich the community by promoting and popularizing the cultural arts, pre-Hispanic and folk dance, traditions, culture, and history of Mexico.”

Maestra Yajaira’s grandfather was a well-known composer of Banda music in Mocorito, Sinaloa, Mexico, and Maestra Yajaira – who moved from Mexico to the United States/California in 1997 – has been dancing the traditional forms of Mexican ballet since she was 4 years old.

Today at Moon Azteca Dance and Art School, there are 18 students ranging from 4 years old through adult who participate in the organization’s programs (all can be offered in Spanish and English), which include folkloric dance classes, arts and crafts workshops, parent-inclusive dance activities, and community performances – such as the City of Vallejo’s Mad Hatter’s July 4 Waterfront Celebration, the Vallejo Día de los Muertos Festival, Vallejo’s 5 de Mayo Festival, and the Vallejo Art Walk.

“Participants benefit from our programs by developing cultural awareness, artistic skills, self-confidence, and a sense of community through dance and arts education,” Maestra Yajaira said.

Maestra Yajaira, a Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce board member and a member of the organization since 2018, said she greatly appreciates the support of the chamber for helping to build community awareness of Moon Azteca Dance and Art School’s efforts.

“The chamber has been supportive of our organization’s efforts in promoting cultural diversity and community engagement,” she said.

In terms of program accessibility, Moon Azteca Dance and Art School offers scholarships through its “Dance and Create with Manos y Pies’” program to provide learning and artistic development opportunities to children and youth from low-income backgrounds. Said Maestra Yajaira: “Scholarships are provided whenever possible, with specific amounts varying based on financial need and available funds.”

To date, approximately 15 scholarships have been provided to participants through the Dance and Create with Manos y Pies’ program.

Lighting the Way: Miguel Amezquita’s Journey With Skylight Electrical Service

By Marc Sheforgen

As Miguel Amezquita celebrates three years in business with his Skylight Electrical Service, he looks back on an entire life of striving to reach this point.

“From a child, I just wanted to be an electrician,” Amezquita said. “I’ve just loved the trade.”

And so, as a young man in his native Mexico, he started as an electrician. But after moving to the United States, Amezquita said it was more difficult for him to find work that allowed him to focus on just one trade.

“So, I went back to school, got the electrical certification, worked for an electrical company and then started my own business,” he said. “The whole experience has taken about 15 years. It has been worth it. I feel so happy helping my customers, and I’ve always wanted to have my own company.”

Skylight Electrical’s service area includes a 25-mile radius around Fairfield. Among their many services, Skylight handles electrical panel upgrades for residential and commercial, troubleshooting of any electrical problems, overheated breakers and panels, generator installation, lighting for residential and commercial, replacing and installing whole house fans, running circuits for hot tubs and saunas, whole house rewiring, outlet replacement and many other things.

Their vans are fully stocked with parts, Amezquita said, saving the customer time and money.

“It makes it easy for us to provide an affordable price for the customer,” he said. “We don’t have to increase the price because you have to go to the store. When you have the parts with you, it’s easy to just replace it.”

Amezquita said realizing his dream of working as an electrician for his own company is most special to him when he sees the impact he can make.

“My favorite part is having satisfied customers,” Amezquita said. “Sometimes they call us at 2 or 3 in the morning. It’s something that’s not for the money, it’s something that I like to do. For me, I would prefer helping customers. It doesn’t really bother me, whether it’s 2 in the morning or 10 p.m., we’re always available to help them.”

That kind of service, it seems, is being rewarded with repeat and new customers.

“Business is going great,” Amezquita said. “It’s not easy building a business, but it’s been growing, and I’m thankful for all the people who give us opportunities to provide them service.”

Business Academy

Empowering Entrepreneurs: The Success of Solano County’s Spanish-Language Business Program

In a significant stride toward fostering local entrepreneurship, the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce proudly wrapped up its 10-week entrepreneurship program in Fairfield. Aimed at equipping Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs with essential business skills, the program has paved the way for numerous success stories and tangible community impact.

Program Overview: Designed to empower budding entrepreneurs, the program offered comprehensive training in various key business areas. From transforming a simple idea into a viable business to understanding the intricacies of labor laws, the curriculum was tailored to demystify the business landscape for the Hispanic community in Solano County. Participants engaged in interactive workshops focusing on business formation, marketing, financial management, and much more, creating a robust foundation for their entrepreneurial journeys.

Participant Dynamics: The program attracted a diverse group of individuals, ranging from aspirants with just a business idea to existing business owners poised for expansion. This cohort included 13 participants with nascent business ideas, four with established businesses, and two in the process of scaling up. Their ventures spanned various sectors, including auto detailing, restaurants, construction, and baking, reflecting the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of the community.

Success Stories: One of the standout achievements was the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a participant who successfully acquired and transferred an existing business into his name. Jose Luis Castillo, now the proud owner of El Capitan, a full-service restaurant located in Isleton, CA, exemplifies the program’s success. Participants like Jose received not only a certificate bearing the seal of the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the SBDC but also invaluable connections and knowledge that significantly demystified the path to business ownership.

Impact and Community Engagement: The program’s impact on the local business community has been profound. By providing foundational business knowledge, it has helped reduce errors and potential legal troubles for new entrepreneurs. This preventative approach is crucial in building a healthier business environment and, by extension, a stronger local economy.

Partner Contributions: The program was supported by several key partners: Solano County funded the program, while the SBDC Programa Hispano under the California Hispanic Chamber Foundation provided the curriculum and instructors. The Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce facilitated outreach, ensuring the program reached its intended audience. Additionally, the Workforce Development Board of Solano County contributed significantly, underscoring the collaborative effort behind this successful initiative.

Challenges and Future Prospects: While the program was highly successful, it also highlighted the ongoing need for such initiatives and the importance of securing funding to sustain them. Plans are already underway to advocate for more support to continue offering this vital assistance to Hispanic businesses in the area.

The economic ripple effects of this program are set to enhance Solano County’s economic landscape significantly. As new businesses launch and existing ones expand, they not only increase tax revenue but also contribute to a thriving, dynamic community. Continuing to fund this program or similar initiatives is crucial for sustaining this positive momentum. For those interested in supporting this cause, please consider sponsoring the program by contacting the Chamber at info@solanohcc.com.
