Home Service Engine

ServiceTitan back office without the headcount.

We rebuild your pricebook, manage your ServiceTitan, close your books, and build a scorecard that ties what your team earns to what your company makes.

A fraction of the cost of an employee who gets paid to show up. More effective than a consultant who gets paid for hours. We're a ServiceTitan back office service that gets it done.

Everything you need is in there.

ServiceTitan is a disassembled Porsche with no instruction manual.

200 settings and features to check and keep checking all year long — plus new releases every year that add more.

And you're supposed to be the mechanic and the driver.

On top of your actual job.

Five ways to tell you're struggling with ServiceTitan.

  1. 01

    You're leaking revenue.

    Wrong prices, missed upsells, and work that never makes it onto an invoice. It never shows up as a crisis — it shows up as a number that should have been bigger.

  2. 02

    You don't know which jobs make money.

    Job costing is missing or miscoded, so you're running on gut feel about what's profitable and what's quietly losing.

  3. 03

    You don't trust your own numbers.

    Two people pull the same report and get different answers. So nobody uses either one, and every decision goes back to instinct.

  4. 04

    Everything takes longer than it should.

    Manual workarounds, spreadsheets living outside the system, and steps your team invented because the setup never worked properly.

  5. 05

    Your team can't do their jobs well.

    They use the parts of ServiceTitan they understood on day one and work around the rest. That isn't a people problem.

Four ways to fix it

How do you fix ServiceTitan?

01

Do it yourself

AI, Google searches, free Facebook groups, and your own nights and weekends. You'll get eleven answers and four of them will be confident and wrong.

TIME

More hours in ServiceTitan, fewer growing the business.

MONEY

Still leaking revenue you can't see.

STRESS

All of it, and it's yours alone.

02

Hand it to employees

Hand it to one person and it falls behind. Split it between five and nobody owns it.

TIME

It's nobody's primary job, so it happens last. Or not at all.

MONEY

You pay them to show up and do the job you actually hired them for. This isn't it.

STRESS

Things fall through the cracks, and you're the one who finds out.

03

Hire a consultant

Paid by the hour, not for the outcome. Most have never worked in the trades, so you're paying to explain your own business to someone.

TIME

Billed hourly, so time is the product.

MONEY

Expensive, with no return attached to it.

STRESS

You still own the result.

04

Hire Home Service Engine

Home service guys who know the trades, not ServiceTitan salespeople. We've sat in your seat and run the back office we're fixing.

TIME

Yours back. We're the mechanic and the driver.

MONEY

About half the cost of a full-time hire.

STRESS

We own the result, not you.

None of the first three get it right the first time — which means paying for it twice. Getting the most out of ServiceTitan shouldn't take so much time, cost so much money, or cause so much stress.

What you actually need

Every company on ServiceTitan needs these three back office roles filled.

Whether you fill them or not, the work exists. Most companies your size have one person doing all three part-time, at night. Here's what it costs to hire them properly.

Full-time salary$125,000

A ServiceTitan expert

Someone who can build the pricebook and manage the entire ServiceTitan stack — pricing, materials, labor hours, margin, business units, job types, memberships, payroll config.

Full-time salary$85,000

A bookkeeper who knows ServiceTitan

Not a general bookkeeper. One who knows the trades and understands why ServiceTitan and QuickBooks stopped agreeing.

Full-time salary$40,000

A KPI analyst

Someone who turns all of it into a number your team can act on today — not a report or dashboard nobody opens. Without one, you find problems six or nine months after they started.

Total payroll$250,000

A year to run your ServiceTitan back office — and these are three of the hardest roles in the trades to hire for.

Even if you had that cash flow, you don't want it going to the back office. You want it in the field — new techs, new trucks, marketing.

Your back office shouldn't be the most expensive, slowest, most stressful part of your business.

Our approach

We work on your ServiceTitan the way you work on a system.

Install it right. Maintain it year-round. Fix it when it breaks. You already sell all three — so you already know why the order matters.

ServiceTitan

INSTALLS

≈ a system changeout

Get it set up right.

One-time projects. Most companies need one or two, not all four — and we'll tell you which.

ServiceTitan Pricebook

The foundation. Services with real hours, materials, photos and dynamic pricing. Three levels — service and sales (sales book: good, better, best), then incentive pay, then inventory.

ServiceTitan Premium Training

Role-specific sessions for CSRs, techs, dispatch, sales and office. Recorded, so your next hire gets the same training.

A structured rollout, not answers to questions as they come up — that's the service plan.

ServiceTitan Bookkeeping

A diagnostic audit of your books, plus a one-time cleanup — errors, miscategorizations and gaps found and fixed.

One-time. Monthly close is the maintenance agreement.

ServiceTitan Implementation

ServiceTitan itself configured. Business units, job types, memberships, forms, permissions, integrations, dispatch and capacity.

Doesn't include the pricebook or training — those are their own projects. — Most companies don't need this on its own.

ServiceTitan

MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS

≈ scheduled maintenance

Scheduled work, whether or not anything's wrong.

Take one, two or all three.

ANNUAL

ServiceTitan Tune-Up

184 points across your ServiceTitan checked and graded red, yellow or green, handed back as a report on what's working and what isn't.

MONTHLY

ServiceTitan Bookkeeping

Books closed, ServiceTitan and QuickBooks reconciled, a P&L you can make decisions from.

DAILY

ServiceTitan Scorecard

A number for every tech, CSR and salesperson, tied to your annual goal.

ServiceTitan

SERVICE PLAN

≈ a service call

Unlimited repairs, whenever something breaks.

Unlimited fixes and fast answers, whenever something breaks. We answer in one business day, usually hours, and every walkthrough becomes documentation you keep as your own SOP.

You ask, we answer. Structured training for a whole role is an install project, and scheduled checks are the maintenance agreement.

Why it works

You're working with two guys from the trades.

Not ServiceTitan salespeople — tradespeople. We come from family-owned home service businesses, so we speak your language, we move fast, and you don't spend three calls explaining how your business works. We've sat in your seat, which is why the work lands right the first time.

Danny Peavey, co-founder of Home Service Engine

Danny Peavey

Danny comes from a tradesman family — his brothers run a home services company in Georgia. He spent ten years in enterprise technology before turning back to the trades, and handles branding, marketing and sales.

Jason Arthur, co-founder of Home Service Engine

Jason Arthur

Jason has been in home services nearly 20 years, from family-owned shops to a statewide $100 million operation. He grew one consumer department from $2 million in 2014 to a $20 million trend by 2022.

Both believe owners can't make good decisions without numbers they trust in near real time, confirmed monthly against the P&L.

The three tiers are designed to be taken in order. We scope each one to your business, but the whole program is what makes ServiceTitan finally work.

The result

ServiceTitan, finally working for you.

01

Every revenue opportunity captured.

Right prices on every job, upsells your techs can actually offer, and nothing falling off the invoice. We typically see a 15–20% lift in average ticket after a pricebook rebuild. We also typically see an increase in closing rates.

02

Every job priced to be profitable.

Built on your real labor, your real burden and your current material costs — at the margin you're targeting, not the one you're hoping for.

03

A business that runs efficiently.

The manual workarounds go away. The spreadsheets living outside the system go away. Your team stops inventing steps because the setup finally works.

04

Numbers you trust.

When we build your scorecard, what's underneath it is accurate — so two people pull the same report and get the same answer.

05

Fast ServiceTitan help for your team.

A daily help desk and SOP videos for how your company actually does it. Nobody guessing, nobody waiting.

06

Your time back.

You stop being the bottleneck and the ServiceTitan guru. That's the biggest one — it's the difference between running the business and working in it.

Don't take our word for it

Five stars, from people in the trades.

Every one of these is a real home service company we've worked with.

If I could leave a 10-Star Review, I would. Danny and Jason are phenomenal business partners. I say partners because that is what they are. Interactions with them are not transactional. Instead, their focus is to truly help you and your business with all aspects of the ServiceTitan platform. Their expertise is unparalleled and their patience while explaining complex feature sets of the platform was a breath of fresh air. We can't recommend them enough and will continue to seek their counsel. Thanks Danny and Jason!

Danny and Jason did a great job setting up my entire ServiceTitan pricebook (service and estimate templates) as well as helping me implement the software to my entire team. I had the HSE team engaged from the beginning of our switch from Housecall Pro to make sure we went fully live with ServiceTitan as soon as possible. The HSE team is responsive, knows the HVAC industry, and thinks critically when addressing any issues or questions. Best ServiceTitan consultant / partner around!

Fantastic experience with Home Service Engine. Service Titan was never properly set up when we started our automatic gate business so there was a lot of work to do. Danny and Jason heard our goals for our business and helped us get there. Questions were answered promptly and thoroughly, so we got so much further so much faster with their expertise.
