Portfolio Proof
Two real DSHG builds, two real numbers.
Snapscape
Equity BuildAI Landscape Visualization · snapscape.com
Problem
Landscaping quotes relied on guesswork instead of realistic visualizations — homeowners couldn’t picture the finished yard, and contractors faced slow approvals, repeated revisions, and delayed decisions.
What We Built
Software that lets a landscaping business upload a site-visit photo and instantly generate a realistic "after" rendering of the yard — new plants, materials, and layout — while keeping the house, driveway, and hardscaping untouched, then turns that rendering into a branded, client-ready proposal with an auto-generated plant list and cost estimate.
Impact
One landscaping client’s close rate jumped from 28% to 47% within 90 days, cutting site-visit-to-approved-proposal time to 24 hours and saving roughly 38 hours per bid compared to hand-drawn and CAD proposals.
BookifyCall
Studio Venture24/7 AI Receptionist → Telephony Layer · bookifycall.com
Problem
Businesses juggled call handling, customer communication, and offshore staffing as separate problems, with nothing tying telephony together end to end across the organization.
What We Built
A 24/7 AI receptionist that answers calls, books appointments, answers questions, and hands off to a human when needed — grown into a full telephony layer handling calls, bookings, and customer communication for the whole organization, including AI accent neutralization so offshore virtual assistants can staff the platform without accent-related friction.
Impact
Live in 20+ businesses today, with a 90% call-to-booking rate, sub-2-second response time, and 99.9% uptime.
Why Home Services Needs a Different Partner
Generic tools bolt on. We build the system the business actually runs on.
Close the deal, not just answer the phone
From first contact to signed contract — instant quotes, automatic follow-up, and 24/7 booking so nothing sits waiting on a callback.
Show the result before the job starts
Snapscape turns a site-visit photo into a realistic, client-ready proposal in 24 hours — instead of two weeks of revisions and guesswork.
Get paid without chasing it
Invoicing, follow-up on unpaid balances, and the back-office admin that eats a Friday afternoon — handled automatically, not manually.
For Franchises & Multi-Location Operators
Keep your franchise software. Add the AI layer on top.
Franchise systems already run on corporate-mandated CRM, scheduling, and content platforms that a franchisee can’t just rip out. DSHG Sonic doesn’t ask you to replace any of it — we build an AI layer that sits on top of the systems already in place, so every location gets faster quotes, faster booking, and faster invoicing without a CRM migration or a content rebuild.
No CRM rip-and-replace
The AI layer reads and writes into the CRM your franchise already runs, so nothing corporate mandates has to change.
No content rebuild
Existing scripts, pricing, and approved brand content stay as-is — the AI layer speaks in your franchise’s voice, not a new one.
Corporate-compliant, location-fast
Each location gets the speed of a custom AI system while staying inside the guardrails corporate already set.
Where the Real Pain Is
The home services industry loses money in three specific, fixable places.
100x
more likely to make contact when a business responds within 5 minutes vs. 30 — exactly what Snapscape’s 24-hour proposal turnaround and BookifyCall’s sub-2-second answer time are built to capture.

2.1M
skilled-trades positions could go unfilled by 2030, with potential economic losses reaching $1 trillion annually — nearly 600,000 jobs are posted each year against only ~150,000 new apprentices. Every job an AI system saves an owner matters more when hiring is this hard.

27%
of calls to home services businesses still go unanswered — one input into the same close-rate problem, alongside slow quotes and slow invoicing.
