You're not the only one who's had enough.
Garage Door Repair Techs face unique challenges: Emergency calls at all hours — broken springs mean cars trapped. Parts inventory management from the truck. Spring tension work is dangerous — liability and insurance costs are high. Upselling new openers during repair calls. On top of all that, Housecall Pro charges $99/month ($1,188/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median garage door tech earns $48,000/year. Software at $1,188/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Spring winding bars and vise grips is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Housecall Pro is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
