When most people think of software founders, they picture venture capital, pitch decks, and glass office towers.
Mike Andes? He built Homeworks under a dump truck.
A CRM Created in the Field, Not a Lab
Mike didn’t create Homeworks because he wanted to launch a tech company. He built it because he had no choice.
At 21, he was running Augusta Lawn Care and working 80-plus hours a week. Every estimate. Every job. Every phone call. Then one morning, while manually engaging a dump truck's PTO system, his hoodie got caught in the spinning shaft. It nearly killed him.
That accident exposed the truth. The business only functioned when he did. No systems. No backup. No freedom. That moment kicked off a complete overhaul of operations.
Out of that pressure came solutions. Video estimates. SOPs. A CRM that made sense.
That’s how Homeworks was born.
From a Local Lawn Business to 50 Million in Revenue
Homeworks was not built around theory. It was built around survival.
Everything inside Homeworks was tested first in the real world. These systems helped Augusta Lawn Care grow from one location to over 150. Today, those systems support over 50 million dollars in annual revenue.
No fluff. No wasted features. Just tools that work.
Built for What Actually Matters
Homeworks is built to help service businesses:
Move fast. Send estimates in minutes.
Stay profitable. Track labor and COGS in real time.
Stay lean. Automate follow-ups, invoices, and upsells.
Build team culture. Track performance without micro-managing.
Every feature was created to solve problems that came up while scaling real businesses.
Used by 150+ Augusta Locations
Homeworks powers every Augusta Lawn Care franchise. That’s more than 180 locations relying on the same software every single day.
That’s why the system works.
It wasn’t designed for a pitch deck. It was designed to run a multi-million-dollar service business.

A Final Word from Mike
“I didn’t build Homeworks to raise money. I built it because I was drowning. It’s everything I wish I had when I started. Now it runs everything we do.” — Mike Andes
