Visual Proof-of-Service for Home Services

AI-powered before/after photo verification for cleaners, landscapers, and handymen to build client trust and reduce disputes

A cleaning service in suburban Atlanta finishes a residential deep clean. The homeowner returns from vacation, sees the house, and disputes the charge: 'The bathrooms don't look cleaned.' The cleaning crew knows they spent 45 minutes on those bathrooms, but they have no proof. The client demands a refund. The cleaning company eats the $200 because fighting costs more than conceding.

This happens daily across the $600+ billion home services industry. Cleaners, landscapers, handymen, and maintenance crews complete work, but 'proof of completion' is just the worker's word. Disputes about work quality cost service businesses 5-10% of revenue in chargebacks, refunds, and lost repeat customers. Insurance companies deal with this constantly in claims — they require photographic evidence for a reason.

CompanyCam ($19/user/month) dominates in construction with photo documentation. Jobber and Housecall Pro have basic photo features. But no tool uses AI to actually verify work completion. The opportunity is a mobile-first proof-of-service app at $29-49/mo: snap before/after photos at each job, AI analyzes images to verify cleaning/service was performed, automatically generates a timestamped and geotagged PDF report, and sends it to the client. Bonus: AI can identify upsell opportunities ('your gutters look clogged — want us to add gutter cleaning for $150?').
