4S Business
Run a trade business or bring clients to 4 Seasons
Sell services, run the work and get paid, with tools that fit the business you want to build. Pick what you're here to do and see what you'd start with.
01
Choose your path
Two ways in. One account can hold more than one later, each with its own review.
Run a trade business
Price, book, schedule and run your jobs, and qualify for work from the 4S Network.
- Set up a price book and services
- Schedule jobs and crews
- Keep customer and job records
- Apply for network work once verified
Become a partner
Introduce the customers you already serve to 4S services, with your own link.
- Share approved products with your clients
- Track each introduction
- See exactly what earns and when
- Get paid on money that settles
02
How a job moves through 4 Seasons
A homeowner buys through the same 4 Seasons checkout wherever they start. The work goes to a qualified crew. Whoever brought the customer is credited under a written agreement.
- 01
The 4 Seasons checkout
Customers configure and buy through the same product pages and checkout as 4 Seasons itself.
- 02
Qualified trade businesses
The job goes to a company that passed review, with a clear scope and pay for each step.
- 03
Records for everyone
Each sale, step and payment is recorded once and shown to the people it belongs to.
03
Run the work from one place
A trade business that passed review gets work offers with the scope, the photos, the materials and how each step is paid. You decide whether to take it.
Bathroom refresh, hall bath, standard package
Accepting is a commitment in writing. An offer is never a guaranteed job until you both agree.
04
Know what you're getting paid for
Every amount has a state and a reason. Rewards on orders and pay for work are kept apart and never added into one number.
Someone opened your link or storefront.
Refunds reverse what they touch, with the reason shown. Payouts stay off until they are switched on for your program.
Software for trade companies
HVAC, roofing, pest control, lawn and pool companies can run their customers, crews, routes, prices and job records on the same software 4 Seasons uses for its own work, under their own company's name. Each trade comes with its common jobs, a starter price book and recurring routes.
In development. This is in its first phase with a small number of Georgia companies. During the closed beta no customer payments are taken through the software.
What it costs
There are no lead fees and no per-seat charges. 4 Seasons earns a share of the verified work that runs through your workspace each month.
What the share is
1% of verified work up to $250,000 a month, 1% up to $1,000,000, and 1% above. Each rate applies only to the work inside its band.
Your name and your prices
Your company name goes on every text, email, proposal and receipt. You set your prices, and the starter book is where they begin.
HVAC service and maintenance
Tune-ups, maintenance agreements and the common repairs, each with its steps, the readings to record and the photos that close it.
Spring and fall tune-ups run on routes, with homes grouped by part of town.
Homeowners who connect their thermostat to 4 Seasons get a fault read into a priced fix. When they approve it and their home isn't in a warranty program, the request goes to an HVAC company on 4 Seasons that serves them.
4 Seasons doesn't sell HVAC replacements under its own name.
Cooling tune-up
Starter price $210 on a route
Built from the pack's starting materials cost, the tech's pay, logistics, a risk reserve and the network's share. You can change it.
Heating tune-up
Starter price $203 on a route
Built from the pack's starting materials cost, the tech's pay, logistics, a risk reserve and the network's share. You can change it.
Heating or cooling diagnostic
Starter price $190

Roofing
Inspections, leak repairs and replacements. A replacement is scoped from an aerial report, a drone flight or a tape: bundles, underlayment, flashing, labor by pitch and stories, and a price range from how far the measurement is trusted.
Storm jobs carry the claim on the job: carrier, claim number, date of loss, adjuster meeting, approved amount, held depreciation and the next step. The homeowner files the claim and pays the deductible.
Roof inspection
Starter price $170 on a route
Built from the pack's starting materials cost, the tech's pay, logistics, a risk reserve and the network's share. You can change it.
Roof leak repair
Starter price $335

Starter price $4,150

Termite inspections and bait station checks, logged with the product, rate and photos, under your company's license.
Quarterly pest service
Starter price $147 on a route
Built from the pack's starting materials cost, the tech's pay, logistics, a risk reserve and the network's share. You can change it.

Lawn and landscape
Weekly mowing in season, treatment rounds every seven weeks and fall aeration, each on a route.
Treatments log the product, rate and area. Applying pesticide needs a certified applicator on your team.
Mow, edge and blow
Starter price $141 on a route
Built from the pack's starting materials cost, the tech's pay, logistics, a risk reserve and the network's share. You can change it.

Set up your company
Georgia companies for now. We set up your workspace and send the owner a sign-in link.
Partner program
Referral partner program
Realtors, home inspectors, property managers and tradespeople refer homeowners who need work done to 4 Seasons. Each partner gets a link and a code, and a homeowner who books through them is credited to that partner. The partner's share is 5% of what the homeowner pays for the work. During the closed beta no payment is taken online and no partner payouts are sent.
01
Who it's for
People whose clients and followers already ask them who to call.
Real estate agent
Buyers and sellers who need repairs before a closing or after a move.
Home inspector
Clients with an inspection report and a list of things to fix.
Property manager
Owners with turns, repairs and upkeep across their units.
Pro
Homeowners who ask for work you don't do. You're never paid on your own jobs.
Business
Customers of a hardware store, a lender, an insurer or a builder who need work on a home.
Trade business partner
Trade businesses you bring onto 4 Seasons and help get working. You earn on what we earn from them, for as long as they stay.
02
How you're paid
A share is earned only on work that is done, documented and paid for.
- 01
Share your link or code
Your link is build4seasons.com/p/ with your code after it. A homeowner who opens it and books within 28 days is yours for 12 months of jobs.
- 02
The work is done and proven
Every job runs on our work order with photos at each step. Opening the link or booking a visit doesn't earn anything by itself.
- 03
The homeowner pays
Your share is 5% of what settles, whether that is a paid visit, a paid step of a remodel or a paid invoice.
- 04
A 14-day hold
Each share waits 14 days so a refund can land first. If a job is refunded later, its share comes off your next payout.
- 05
Paid weekly
Cleared shares of $25 or more go out weekly to your payout account through our payout partner, each with a statement of every job behind it.
03
An example, with the math
These are examples at today's prices from our price list. What a partner is paid depends on what each homeowner buys and pays for.
PARTNER · EXAMPLE · 5% SHARE
EXAMPLEClean gutters, a repair visit
$9.75
Bathroom Refresh, a remodel paid in steps
$475.00
Shares are figured on the amount that settles and rounded down to the cent.
04
Taxes
Before your first payout we need a W-9, through the payout account's own setup or sent to our team. We keep a note that it's on file. The form and your tax ID stay with whoever collected them.
4 Seasons partners · trade businesses
Build a company bringing the trades onto 4 Seasons
Bring trade businesses onto 4 Seasons, set them up and keep them working. You earn 30% of what 4 Seasons earns from each one, for as long as it stays.
01
How it works
01
Find trade businesses
Plumbers, HVAC and roofing companies, pest, lawn and pool services: owner-run companies that want more verified work and less office work.
02
Set them up
From your portal you set the company up and 4 Seasons emails the owner an invitation; you prepare its workspace until the owner joins. Or send your business link and they sign up themselves. Either way the business is credited to you; the first claim wins.
03
Get them working
Work inside their workspace on what the owner opens to you: their brand, license and insurance, price book, customers from their old software, their team. 4 Seasons checks the documents before any work. Nothing is earned until real work is verified.
04
Earn for as long as they stay
You earn 30% of the fees 4 Seasons collects from each business, every month it works with us, with no end date.
02
The math, from our fee schedule
4 Seasons charges a business 1% of its verified work up to $250,000 a month, less above that. Your share is 30% of that fee.
| Businesses you brought in | Their verified work a month | 4 Seasons' fees from them | Your share a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5, each doing $50,000 a month | $250,000 | $2,500 | $750 |
| 20, each doing $50,000 a month | $1,000,000 | $10,000 | $3,000 |
| 60, each doing $50,000 a month | $3,000,000 | $30,000 | $9,000 |
An illustration worked from today's fee schedule, not a promise of income. What you earn depends on how much verified work your businesses do and on fees actually collected. Ad spend shares and the second tier come on top.
03
Why it can be a whole company
Setup is a service
Most trade owners won't set up software themselves. Bill them for onboarding, price books, moving their records and training their office, through 4 Seasons: the owner approves the bill, pays by card, and you keep all of it.
A book that compounds
Your share comes from every business you brought in, month after month. A business you set up this year still pays you next year.
Recruit other partners
Bring other partners in through your recruiting link. You earn 10% of 4 Seasons' fees from the businesses they bring. One level only, and nothing for recruiting by itself.
Fee control when you're verified
Verified Partners can move a business's fee rate between 1% lower and 1% higher to win it, for example to match what it pays today. The portal shows what the change does to their fee and to your share before you make it.
04
Work inside the business. Bill through 4 Seasons.
The owner opens their workspace to you for named kinds of setup work, for a set number of days. Every page you open and every change you make is on their own log.
What an owner can open to you
- Brand customers seeName customers know, logo, colors, who texts and emails come from, the reply-to address and the phone customers call.
- License and insuranceAdd the license and insurance certificate for 4 Seasons' review. Only a 4 Seasons reviewer verifies them.
- Price bookThe price book: the business's adjustment on the component price, rounding, and prices for each family of work.
- Bring customers overUpload the old system's exports or a spreadsheet of customers and jobs into the workspace. The same file twice adds nothing.
- Invite the teamInvite the office, sales, project managers and crews. Never an owner or another admin.
- Connected accountsRecord the accounts the business connects, like QuickBooks.
Never open to a partner
- Move money: payouts, refunds, the bank or Stripe account, add-ons on the business's bill
- Read or message the business's customers
- Give anyone the owner or office admin role, or change anyone's role
- Export or erase the business's data
- Approve support access, or their own bills
A setup bill
PB-2610-4F2A1C · example
| Workspace setup and brand | $500 |
| Price book for HVAC and plumbing | $600 |
| Customers moved over from their old software | $400 |
| Office training, two hours | $300 |
- 1 You send it from the business's page in your portal.
- 2 The owner approves it. Nothing is charged before that.
- 3 If you set a milestone, it comes due when 4 Seasons verifies it from the business's records: approved for work, first verified job, or active.
- 4 They pay by card. You're paid with your partner earnings after a 14-day hold.
- The business pays
- $1,800
- You're paid
- $1,800
05
The rules
- A share is of 4 Seasons' own fees from a business, never of the business's job revenue.
- It's earned only on fees actually collected, and each amount waits out a hold before it can be paid.
- A business counts only once its license and insurance are verified. A business already on 4 Seasons can't be referred.
- Nobody earns on their own business. The first claim wins; a disputed claim is reviewed by a person.
- Earnings are paid with your other partner earnings, with a statement of every line and the rule behind it. We collect tax forms where the law requires.

4 Seasons for Business
4 Seasons works with property operators and businesses that need a consistent way to request, organize, and manage construction and maintenance work.
Available now
Property operators can use the same tools our residential customers use, at any property in our service area.
Requests from a photo or video
Send a short video of the problem from the property. Many repairs come back with a fixed price. Others get a short visit, which is priced before anyone comes out.
Fixed prices for listed repairs
Plumbing, electrical, appliance, handyman and other common repairs have a published price per task, with a two-hour arrival window.
Projects with a written scope
Bathroom, kitchen and deck projects get a written scope and a price. Bathrooms and decks are priced online and fixed once the space is measured. Kitchens are priced at a design session.
A record of each job
Each step of the work is photographed and checked before it counts as done. The photos, the scope and the dates stay with the job, so you can show an owner or a tenant what was done.
In development
The pieces below are partly built and are being tested before they are offered. We describe them here so you know what to ask about. None of them is available to new customers yet.
The work order API is documented on our developer pages and can be tried with test keys.
Accounts for organizations
One account for several properties and units, with the people allowed to request and approve work.
Centralized work requests
Requests from a portal, a spreadsheet upload, email or an API, each carrying your own ticket or claim number.
Agreed rates and response times
A rate card for repeat work and response and completion times written into the agreement, with an approval limit above which work waits for you.
Reporting across properties
Work, cost and response times across a portfolio, and monthly invoicing with your reference numbers.
Repeat maintenance
Scheduled recurring work, such as seasonal checks and turnover repairs, planned across properties.
Who we work with
Property Management
Managers of single-family homes and small buildings send us repairs and make-ready work for the homes they look after, through the request tools above.
We can price listed repairs before anyone is sent, and give you the job's photos and scope to share with the owner.
Multifamily
For apartment and condominium communities we take on unit repairs, bathroom and kitchen work between tenants, and decks and exterior repairs.
Common-area and building-system work is reviewed case by case, and some of it is outside what we do today.
Rental Portfolios
Owners of several rental homes use the same tools across their properties. Each home's work is kept with that home.
Portfolio accounts and reporting across homes are in development. Until they are offered, each request is made per property.
Commercial Properties
We do not offer a commercial service line today. Our crews, prices and procedures are built for residential work.
We are taking inquiries from owners and managers of commercial properties so we can learn what work they need. We will tell you plainly whether it is work we can do.
Where we work
Metro Atlanta. Enter a ZIP on the service area page to see whether we cover a property.
Book a free visit
Tell us about your properties and the work you need. A person reads every inquiry and replies by email.

4 Seasons for BusinessPermits · 4 Seasons
Permits and inspections for Metro Atlanta homes
We draw the permit package from a scan of the house, file it with the city or county, and book each inspection on the day the work is ready for it. Where the jurisdiction allows it, the inspector reviews the work from timestamped, located photos of every step before the walls close.
01
The package, drawn from the house
A permit office wants a floor plan with dimensions, the scope in plain words, the fixtures and the contractor's license. We already hold all of it: the scan of the house, the job's scope and parts list, and the crew's credentials.
PKG-PM-1001-R01 · SAMPLE
- A0Cover sheet
- A1Existing floor plan
- A2Proposed floor plan
- S1Scope of work
- E1Fixture and equipment schedule
Every sheet carries the package serial and a fingerprint of what it was drawn from. A changed scope makes a new revision with a new serial. The sample uses a demonstration house and draft rules.
02
For homeowners
On a 4 Seasons job the permit is part of the work order. You see its number, where it is with the city or county, and each inspection as it passes, stamped on the order in the app.
Work under a permit starts once it's issued. A step that would cover inspected work, like drywall over new plumbing, waits until that inspection passes, and the crew sees why and when.
Unpermitted work can hold up a sale or have to be opened up for inspection later. Every permit we pull stays on your home's record with its final inspection.
03
For contractors
Any licensed contractor can file through us, with or without a 4 Seasons job. Enter the address and the scope, or upload a house scan, and get the package with its serial, the submission checklist for that jurisdiction, and the status as it moves.
When the permit is issued you book inspections from the same page and send remote packets where they're accepted. Corrections come back tied to the photo or the place they're about.
Your software can do the same through the Permits API and our MCP server, with webhooks when a status changes.
04
How a remote inspection works
Remote inspection is each jurisdiction's call. Where it isn't accepted, we book the inspector on site and the same photos are ready for them.
- 01
Every step is photographed in the app
The crew's camera works only inside the app, never from the photo library. Each photo is recorded with when it was taken, where the phone was, which phone, which crew, and a SHA-256 fingerprint computed when it reaches us. - 02
The inspector gets a signed link
It opens one inspection's packet: the photos of the steps it covers, the step's checklist, measurements from the scan and the parts installed with their serial numbers. It expires on its own, and changing any part of it stops it working. - 03
They pass it, list corrections, or ask for live video
Each correction is tied to a photo or a place in the house. A live video call is booked into one of the times offered. - 04
Corrections go to the crew and come back fixed
Each one lands on the crew's list in the app. Their photo of the fix goes back to the inspection, which is asked for again. - 05
Everything is on the record
Every view and every decision is logged with the time. The permit and its final inspection stay on the home's record.
05
Where we file
Our permit desk enters each jurisdiction's rules from its own code and staff and marks them verified once checked. 0 of 16 are verified so far; answers for the rest say an expediter confirms them.

Permits · Check
Do I need a permit
Pick your ZIP code and the work you're planning. The answer comes from the rules on file for your city or county, names the rule that decided each part, and says plainly whether a person has verified those rules yet.
ANSWER
The answer shows here: whether a permit is needed, the rule that decided it, the documents, an estimate of the fees, how long review usually takes and the inspections in order.
Only the jurisdiction decides what it permits. This check shows the rules we have on file for it. How 4 Seasons handles permits
