The home services problem in Seattle

What's really happening with home service and trades businesses here.

The pattern we see

The home services operators in Seattle 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 South Lake Union location, a new service line — the stack fights them every step of the way.

How we build for Seattle

Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.

We design Seattle-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.

Seattle's cloud-engineering, e-commerce, technical business community has specific expectations. We design to them. That means a level of polish matched to Capitol Hill benchmarks, an operational fit tuned to King County workflows, and integrations that respect the tools Seattle home service and trades businesses already depend on — QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Calendar to name a few.

What we build

Five services. One retainer. Pick what fits, or stack them.

Branded Mobile App

A native iOS + Android app branded as Seattle's home services leader. Published under your developer accounts, with push notifications tuned to cut dispatch chaos and accelerate cash collection.

  • native iOS and Android from a single codebase
  • App Store and Play Store submission under your developer accounts
  • push notifications, deep linking, and offline support
Typical timeline: 6–10 weeks

Web Application

A production-grade web app your team in King County uses daily, and your customers reach from any browser. Optimized for the PT cadence your home service and trades businesses actually run on.

  • production-grade React/Next.js front end
  • custom domain, SSL, and CDN delivery
  • role-based access and admin dashboards
Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks

Custom Internal Software

The internal tool QuickBooks and Stripe couldn't build for your Seattle operation. customer text updates and review requests, role-based access, and full audit trails.

  • back-office operations dashboard
  • workflow automation and approval chains
  • data import/export and reporting exports
Typical timeline: 5–10 weeks

Systems Integration

Make QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Calendar — the stack your Seattle home services team already depends on — finally behave as one system. Two-way sync, queue-backed retries, monitoring.

  • two-way sync across CRM, billing, and ops systems
  • webhooks, API proxies, and queue-backed retries
  • monitoring, alerting, and error remediation
Typical timeline: 3–6 weeks

Ongoing Product Team

A product + engineering team on retainer. Weekly feature releases, uptime monitoring, and a monthly roadmap built around the Seattle home services market's changing demands — not a fixed-bid handoff.

  • monthly product roadmap with your leadership
  • feature releases every 2 weeks
  • uptime monitoring, patching, and incident response
Typical timeline: ongoing

How we build home services apps in Seattle

Three phases. No surprises.

01

Discovery Call

We meet with your owner-operator and map the exact workflow you run in King County. No generic discovery templates — the output is a spec tied to cut dispatch chaos and accelerate cash collection.

02

Design Review

We ship a clickable prototype in week 2 and walk through it with your team — in person when you're in Seattle, on video when scheduling won't allow. You approve, we build.

03

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 Seattle team already knows. We build around them, not over them.

Frequently asked questions

Specific to home service and trades businesses in Seattle.

Do you work with home service and trades businesses outside Seattle?

Yes. We serve the full King County service area within roughly 30 miles of Seattle, and we work remotely across the US. Most Seattle projects get same-week on-site kickoffs when requested.

What does a home services app cost for a Seattle 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 King County recover the monthly cost within the first quarter through cut dispatch chaos and accelerate cash collection.

Does it replace ServiceTitan or Jobber?

For smaller and mid-sized shops, yes. For larger operations already on ServiceTitan, we often sit on top with a better customer-facing experience while ServiceTitan stays the system of record.

Can customers pay in the field?

Yes. Tap-to-pay on the tech's phone, ACH in the customer portal, and stored-card autopay for recurring service plans. Settlement hits your bank in 2 business days.

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.
