One operating stack for every shop in your portfolio.
Change Home Services standardizes acquired HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing businesses onto a single system — clean comparable data across every location, a repeatable 100-day integration playbook, and reporting that survives diligence.
The problem in every roll-up
By the third or fourth acquisition, the businesses in a portfolio stop talking to each other. One shop runs Housecall Pro and a shoebox of receipts. Another runs ServiceTitan and a bookkeeper who works Tuesdays. A third runs paper tickets and a bank account checked on Fridays.
That fragmentation isn't cosmetic — it's a direct drag on integration speed, diligence quality, and exit value.
| Where it shows up | The cost |
|---|---|
| Tech-stack fragmentation across acquired shops | No normalized data without a manual, error-prone consolidation exercise every reporting period |
| No standardized KPIs (job costing, close rate, average ticket, technician utilization) | Can't benchmark locations against each other or the platform average |
| Inconsistent, informally kept source data | Add-backs and normalization adjustments are harder to defend in diligence; re-trade risk rises |
| Inconsistent pricing, missed invoicing, poor inventory control | Margin leakage invisible without a common reporting layer — eroding the operating-leverage thesis the deal was underwritten on |
| Founder-owner is the only one who knows how the shop runs | Key-person risk on every transition |
Why it matters to the multiple
Standalone single-location trades businesses typically trade at 3.5–7x EBITDA. Assembled platforms with $50M+ of EBITDA have sold to larger sponsors at 17–20x. Businesses with 60%+ contracted or recurring service-agreement revenue trade one to two full turns higher than project-heavy peers of comparable size.
A standardized, data-rich operating stack isn't a nice-to-have on top of that arithmetic — it's integration-risk reduction and multiple-support infrastructure. A buyer evaluating your platform pays up for "here is the dashboard," not "we think this works."
What CHS gives your portfolio
Multi-entity architecture
One HoldCo account owns many child entities — locations, brands, or trade lines — each with its own scoped data and payments sub-account, rolling up into a single consolidated view. Acquired shops keep their local brand name where that matters for reputation and local search, while the back end is unified.
Portfolio-wide dashboards and benchmarking
Revenue and gross margin by location, close rate, average ticket, technician utilization, job-cost variance, AR aging, and inventory turns — normalized across every shop on the same chart of accounts, refreshed in real time instead of reconstructed monthly from a dozen QuickBooks files.
Standardized chart of accounts and KPI definitions from day one
New acquisitions onboard onto a common COA and KPI set, eliminating the "what does gross margin mean at Shop C" problem that slows down manual roll-up integrations.
Centralized vs. local permissions
HoldCo finance and ops leadership see the full portfolio; local managers and field techs see only their location — the same role-based model trades businesses already expect, applied at the portfolio level.
A 100-day integration playbook
Data migration, COA mapping, historical job/customer import, payments setup, and staff training — packaged to land a newly acquired shop on the standardized stack inside the integration window sponsors already target, turning the slowest phase of a roll-up into a repeatable process.
Shared-services back office
Bookkeeping and phone answering/appointment-setting delivered as a centralized function for the whole portfolio, replacing the fragmented mix of local bookkeepers and answering arrangements most acquired shops arrive with.
How this is priced
Portfolio pricing looks nothing like our self-serve software tiers — this is enterprise licensing with professional services, not a per-seat SaaS bill.
| Per-location subscription | $250–$600/month per location, volume-discounted off our top self-serve tier |
| Platform/HoldCo fee | $2,000–$10,000/month, scaling with portfolio size, for multi-entity administration and consolidated reporting |
| Implementation fee | $5,000–$25,000 per acquired location (one-time), typically bundled into the 100-day integration playbook |
| Contract | 1–3 year master agreement |
| Typical ACV | $50,000–$500,000+/year, depending on portfolio size (10–50+ locations) |
Premium cross-portfolio benchmarking and board-ready reporting exports are available as an add-on module or bundled at higher tiers. Managed shared-services (bookkeeping, answering) are priced per location as part of the same agreement.
Why this is a different conversation than software
We're not asking you to evaluate CHS against a $29/month competitor's list price. We're asking you to evaluate it against the cost of integration risk and multiple compression on your next four acquisitions. A single 20-location portfolio engagement is worth more in annual contract value than 50–100 of our solo-operator customers combined, with materially lower churn once a portfolio is standardized.
Who we are
Change Home Services is built by operators: a team with successful startup exits, years of hands-on technology leadership, and years of running real estate and property management operations that hired, dispatched, and paid trades vendors daily. We are not guessing at how a trades shop operates day to day — and we design for owners who are not comfortable with technology, which is precisely the workforce a roll-up inherits. The same core product (CRM, scheduling, quoting/invoicing, payments, inventory, accounting) that our solo-operator customers run is the foundation of the portfolio tier described here; the portfolio layer is additive on top of a product already proven at the single-location level, not a separate build.
We're an early-stage company. We don't have a completed portfolio deployment to point to yet. What we're offering the first sponsors we work with is a design-partner engagement: help us build the 100-day playbook against a real portfolio, and get preferential terms and direct input into the roadmap in return.
Talk to us
We work best with 3–5 design partners first — mid-size HVAC, plumbing, or electrical roll-up platforms who want to help build the standardization playbook, not a mega-fund evaluating a finished enterprise product.
