Escape by Elevate — gold eagle emblem

ELEVATE SERVICE COMMAND AUTOMATION PIPELINE ENGINE

Run your service business on the system built by someone who’s already done it.

Escape is the done-for-you CRM and automation platform for home-service companies — it captures every lead, chases every quote, books every job, and asks for every review. Automatically.

The Journey

Not built by a software company. Built from the truck.

Into the trade

Anthony Moore starts as an HVAC technician in Upstate South Carolina — attics, crawlspaces, on-call weekends.

2019

First company — $786K in year one

Everything that worked got written down and turned into a system.

2020

$1M+ with a team of 15

The systems got stress-tested at scale: dispatch, follow-up, reviews, memberships.

2024

Elevate Home Specialists

The current operating company — and the live testbed where every Escape automation runs first.

2025

Elevate Academy

The coaching side of Elevate — helping technicians make the jump from turning wrenches to owning the company, with live training, playbooks, and community.

2026

Escape

The exact system running our own shop, packaged so your shop can run on it too — built, migrated, and trained for you.

The Product

What Escape is — and what it isn’t.

Escape is

  • A complete operating system for your shop — booking, dispatch, follow-up, reviews, billing
  • Done for you: built around your business, your customers migrated, your team trained
  • One flat monthly price for your whole company — texting, email & calling usage included (fair use)
  • Proven daily inside a real HVAC company before it ever reaches yours

Escape isn’t

  • A login and a “good luck” — you’re never left to configure software alone
  • Per-technician pricing that punishes you for hiring
  • A generic CRM you have to bend to fit the trades
  • A long-term trap — month-to-month after your first term
What’s Inside

The Core System, plus the modules that grow you.

Every plan starts with the Core System — online booking, confirmations and reminders, the dispatch board, on-the-way texts, job history, and payment close-out. Then add the modules your business needs:

Module A

Estimates & Deposits

Automatic follow-up on every quote until it closes — plus deposit collection.

Module B

Payment Recovery

Unpaid invoices chased politely and automatically until the money is in.

Module C

Reviews & Retention

Google review requests after every job, and tune-up reminders that bring customers back.

Module D

Lead Capture

Instant replies to new leads, missed-call text-back, and re-engagement of old quotes.

Module E

Membership & Warranty

Sell and manage maintenance plans with automated signup and renewals.

Optional

AI Layer

AI that answers and books your leads by text and replies to your Google reviews — $199/mo on any plan.

New · DEB

The Dynamic Estimate Builder — good/better/best estimates built for you, delivered with a personal video, signed and deposited online. Contractors who present options close at 52% vs 42%. Exclusive to the Liberate plan.

Results

Real shops. Real words.

“Answering calls and booking appointments in the attic or crawlspace was going to be the death of me. Not answering meant missed opportunities. Escape has changed all of that for my company!”
— Vince · Invincible Heating and Cooling
“Choosing a CRM for our new company was such a hassle. We could not seem to land on one that took everything we wanted into one program. With Escape, it actually feels personalized to small service businesses.”
— Dustin & Robert · Simplified Comfort Solutions
Investment
