When Anthony, owner of Surveilco, referred his friend to Housecall Pro, he was just thinking about helping a fellow home service Pro with his business.
Then he won $5,000.
Reflecting on the experience, Anthony shared, “So I submitted one. And I won. That’s insane.”
One referral. One entry. $5,000.
Anthony isn’t a Housecall Pro ambassador or promoter. He’s a small-business owner who referred one friend to a tool he uses, because he believed in what he was sharing. And that was enough.
“I was really happy. I never win stuff like this. It definitely helped out a lot.”

Building Surveilco from the ground up
Following high school, Anthony attended trade school to become an electrician. He developed an interest in low-voltage systems early in his career and went on to earn his alarm license before launching Surveilco.
Initially, he faced some challenges. “The first few years are rough. It can be very discouraging. When you’re starting out, you have no reputation, right? So you’re competing with other companies that have been around for a long time.”
Growth didn’t happen overnight. It came through persistence—and relationships.
“Networking even within your own field is definitely good. At first you think you’re competing with these people, but it’s actually really beneficial to make friends with at least a couple of them that are willing to work with you.”
Over time, those efforts paid off.
“It definitely was very rewarding watching the business grow and turning a profit,” Anthony said.
Today, Surveilco specializes in security and automation and has a top reputation.
“It’s nice to see the clients happy and have them leave a good review. I mean, we have all 5-star reviews. It makes you feel good.”
Why Housecall Pro
As Surveilco grew, Anthony needed systems that could keep up. He made the switch to Housecall Pro and hasn’t looked back.
Thinking back on that decision, Anthony shared, “It made a huge difference. Housecall Pro is definitely something that I’ll never not use.”
He believes it can make a similar difference for other Pros and continues to share it with people in his network.
“I’ve been trying to convince my friend. He does everything old school with paper. He’s costing himself more money in time than it would cost to have the program… Anyone who has a service business needs something other than doing paper receipts.”
For Anthony, referrals aren’t about chasing a reward. They’re about sharing a tool that’s helped him run his business. The money? That’s an added bonus.
