While demand for skilled trades continues to rise, business owners are facing two major challenges: increasing customer expectations and a persistent labor shortage. The question is: how can you grow your business without getting buried in administrative work or struggling to hire the right people?
In our latest Titans of the Trades podcast episode, we sat down with Roland Ligtenberg, co-founder of Housecall Pro, to explore how AI is transforming the trades. What he shared might just change the way you think about running your business.
The Role of AI in Home Services – More Than Just Hype?
There’s a lot of buzz around AI right now, but what does it actually mean for contractors? The truth is, AI isn’t about replacing people – it’s about helping you work smarter.
