Helping the home service industry get more leads and automate the boring stuff

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

Everyone's talking about the AI one-person billion-dollar company.

In home services it already exists: one contractor, permit leads pulled automatically, openers written from public records, follow-up sequences running on schedule, jobs booked. No sales team. No SDR. No CRM admin sitting in the corner.

The AI doesn't replace the contractor. It replaces the overhead that used to gate-keep growth.

5/ The 90% are still in meetings deciding whether AI is worth the time.

The 10% are booking jobs from it this week.

By the time the 90% catch up, those homeowners already have a contractor. And a referral pipeline behind them.

1/ ServiceTitan just published their 2026 State of AI in the Trades report.

74% of contractors are open to AI. Only 10% say it's actually given them an edge.

That's not a small gap. That's 9 in 10 contractors standing on the sideline while a small fraction quietly compounds.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

4/ What makes it work for the contractors winning right now: no training required.

Answer a few questions about your trade and your ZIP. The system does the research, drafts the opener, queues the follow-ups.

The hardest part is showing up to do the work.

ServiceTitan's 2026 State of AI in the Trades: 74% of contractors are open to AI. Only 10% say it's actually given them an edge.

9 in 10 contractors standing on the sideline. The 1 in 10 already pulling jobs from it. That gap is the whole market.

You shouldn't be answering your phone at 9pm.

But someone should be.

I do a free 20-minute audit for contractors who want to find the leak.

We find it together. You decide if you want to fix it.

Reply "AUDIT" or drop a comment.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

None of this requires code.
None of it requires a tech hire.

It requires deciding the leak is worth fixing.

Most contractors make that decision after losing $50K.
The smart ones make it before.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

No review system.

Google reviews are the #1 factor homeowners use to pick a contractor.

Most contractors get 3-5 reviews a year.

Automated request after every job? That becomes 3-5 a week.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

Most contractors think they have a labor problem.

They don't.

They have a revenue leak.

Here's where it's coming from:

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

Missed calls after hours.

The average contractor misses 35-40% of inbound calls.
At $3,500 avg job value, that's $245K+ walking out the door every year.

Nobody answered. Job went elsewhere.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

Most contractors I work with aren't bad at sales.

They're too busy running around without systems.

Missed calls. No follow-up. Estimates sent into the void.

Fix the systems. The sales take care of themselves.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

Here's the math most contractors never run:

Average job value: $3,500
Missed calls per week: 10
Close rate if you called back: 30%

That's 3 jobs a week.
That's $10,500.
That's $546,000/year.

Walking out because nobody picked up.

[Louie @LouisAgency1]

3 things a $300/month AI stack does that a $55K/year hire can't:

Answer calls at 3am.
Follow up on estimates 30 days later without forgetting.
Send a review request to 100% of completed jobs.

Hire the people. Automate the system.
