Purpose-Built Home Services Apps for Portland
Portland runs on athletic apparel, food, and software. Your home services operation deserves software that understands the local tempo — not a generic SaaS built for a market that isn't yours.
The home services problem in Portland
What's really happening with home service and trades businesses here.
The pattern we see
The home services operators in Portland we meet are stuck in the same trap. They've stitched together 4–6 vendor tools to approximate what they need. Staff hours evaporate reconciling data between systems. And the moment they try to scale — a second Southeast location, a new service line — the stack fights them every step of the way.
How we build for Portland
Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.
We design Portland-native home services software. Your brand, your customer base, your operational rhythm — not a generic template. Core deliverables: tech mobile app with jobs, checklists, and photo capture; dispatch board with drag-drop scheduling; in-field invoicing and tap-to-pay. Integrations with QuickBooks and Stripe keep your accounting and ops team in their familiar tools.
Portland is not a generic market and your app shouldn't be generic either. The athletic apparel, food, and software mix here shapes how home service and trades businesses operate — from the customer profile in the Pearl District to the operational tempo around Southeast. We've built software for hospitality and retail operations across Multnomah County, and that context shows up in every product decision we ship.

How we build home services apps in Portland
Three phases. No surprises.
Discovery Call
We meet with your owner-operator and map the exact workflow you run in Multnomah County. No generic discovery templates — the output is a spec tied to cut dispatch chaos and accelerate cash collection.
Design Review
We ship a clickable prototype in week 2 and walk through it with your team — in person when you're in Portland, on video when scheduling won't allow. You approve, we build.
Ship & Iterate
Your app ships within 6–10 weeks. Weekly release cadence after launch, with product-engineering retainer that treats your home services business like a product, not a project.
Integrations we plug into
Keep the tools your Portland team already knows. We build around them, not over them.
Compliance, architected in
Requirements drive architecture, not retrofits. We scope compliance into the build from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Specific to home service and trades businesses in Portland.
Do you work with home service and trades businesses outside Portland?
Yes. We serve the full Multnomah County service area within roughly 25 miles of Portland, and we work remotely across the US. Most Portland projects get same-week on-site kickoffs when requested.
What does a home services app cost for a Portland business?
$850/month, all-in. That covers design, development, hosting, support, and ongoing iteration. No per-seat fees, no per-transaction cuts, no surprise invoices. Most home service and trades businesses we work with in Multnomah County recover the monthly cost within the first quarter through cut dispatch chaos and accelerate cash collection.
Can it handle service agreements and memberships?
Yes. We build in membership plans (e.g. bi-annual HVAC tune-ups) with autopay, automatic scheduling, and retention reporting.
Will my techs actually use it?
We design for techs who do not want one more app. The tech app has 3 core screens — jobs, forms, invoice — and works offline. Tech adoption is typically 90%+ by week two.
Do we own the code and the data?
Yes. Your codebase, your App Store and Play Store listings, your customer data. If you ever decide to leave, we hand over a clean repo and a documented deployment. No lock-in, no exit fee.
