Automation and AI for home-service businesses

The busywork is eating the part of your day that actually pays.

I help home-service owners take the busywork and bottlenecks off their plate with automation and AI. Think of it as an experienced technical partner in your corner, a couple of focused sessions a month, building the things that give you your time back.

Sound familiar?

The job wraps up, and the second shift starts.

Follow-ups you meant to send. Quotes sitting unanswered. Scheduling that lives in your head. Calls you missed because you were under a sink or up on a roof. It all routes through you, and it piles up at nine at night.

Quotes that go cold

Work you already earned slips away because nobody followed up in time.

Calls you can't catch

You're on the job when the phone rings, and the lead calls the next name on Google.

Admin after hours

The paperwork waits until you're worn out, so it's done badly or not at all.

What this is

A software and automation partner, on a monthly retainer.

For a flat monthly fee, you get me in your corner. We meet twice a month, around your schedule, to find where your time and money are leaking and do something about it. The simple stuff, I show you how to handle on the spot. The bigger stuff, I scope into a tight project and build. It's the leverage of an experienced technical partner in your business, without the overhead of hiring one.

A real thinking partner

Somewhere to bring "is there a better way to do this?" and get a straight, experienced answer, not a sales pitch.

Quick wins, handled

If a fix is simple, I show you how to do it right in the session. No project, no extra invoice.

Bigger fixes, built

The problems worth solving become tight, scoped builds, software, automations, the HighLevel setup, that keep paying off long after they're done.

How it works

Two sessions a month, around your schedule.

1

A quick call

You tell me what's eating your time. I tell you straight whether I can help.

2

We meet twice a month

Focused working sessions, booked around you, where we find and fix the highest-value problems together.

3

Quick questions between

Reach me for the small stuff between sessions and I'll reply within a business day. Not an emergency line, just a steady hand.

4

Bigger fixes get built

The important problems become tight, scoped projects I build for you.

Who this is for

Owner-operated home-service businesses.

Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and the like, where you're the one keeping it all together and the admin never quite ends. If you're big enough to feel the strain but not big enough for a full back office, that's the sweet spot. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you.

Who you'd be working with

I've been doing this awhile.

I'm John. I've spent 16 years in software, most of it building real solutions for businesses, not just writing code. That means I've seen what actually works and what just looks good in a demo.

I'm not here to sell you the latest shiny tool. I've watched too many businesses pay for software that looked impressive and changed nothing. When we sit down, I'll tell you straight what's worth automating in your business and what's a waste of your money.

What I actually do is simple: find the busywork and bottlenecks eating your time, then deal with them. The easy fixes I'll show you on the spot. The bigger ones I'll scope and build for you. Either way, you'll know exactly what's happening and why.

What it costs

$750/month

For that you get two working sessions a month, the small stuff fixed on the spot, and an experienced technical partner you can reach between sessions. Hiring someone at this level full time runs over $10,000 a month; this gives you the capability without carrying the salary. Bigger projects are always scoped, quoted, and approved up front, and I judge each one the same way: the payoff has to beat the price. Usually, clearing a single bottleneck already does that.

Get started

Tell me what's eating your time.

Send me a note and I'll get back to you personally. If it's a fit, we start the monthly engagement and book your first session. The first call is short, just enough for me to understand what's going on and tell you honestly whether I can help.

Only needed if you'd like text updates. Leaving it blank is fine.

I read these myself and reply personally, usually within a business day.
