ANYONE WE SHOULD SALUTE?
Grasshopper honors the people who hold the Capital Region together. Tap any that live in this home, and it's built into your proposal before you ever see a number.
And no, none of this is required to get our best work. Everyone gets that.
Nice to meet you
WHO WE ARE
Meet Amanda August, our founder
Amanda started Grasshopper in 2016, right here in the Capital Region. Locally owned. Woman-owned. She lives here, answers here, and puts her name on every job we do, including this one.
Grasshoppers only move forward. It's the reason Amanda chose the name, and the way this company gets run. As she puts it:
“Sometimes it's okay to take two steps back, if it means you can move forward again.”
FORWARD IS A WAY OF LIFE.™
Answerable to you, not Wall Street
Most of the biggest names in home services are owned by private-equity firms. Grasshopper is owned by a neighbor, which changes how every decision gets made.
75+ Capital Region careers
Three offices: Clifton Park, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. More than 75 local people build their careers here, and every dollar you spend stays in the community that earned it.
We show up all year
Girls Inc. · Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area · ChildVoice. Your project helps fund all of it.

CHECK EVERYTHING WE SAY
Most homeowners have been burned by a contractor at least once. So instead of asking for your trust, we make it easy to check us: everything below is in writing, and we'd rather you verify than wonder.
Real insurance, in writing
$1M / $2M general liability + $3M umbrella + full workers' comp on every person who enters your home. Certificate available before you sign. Just ask.
Independently inspected
Permits pulled with your building department whenever the work requires one: a third-party check many contractors skip. NATE-certified techs. BBB A+.
When you get our proposal, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, whatever you like, and ask if anything's missing. We may not be the cheapest number you get. We're the one you can verify.
HOW TODAY WORKS
We listen first.
You talk, we write. Your words go on the first page of everything we show you.
We measure your actual home.
Room by room, so anything we recommend is engineered for this house, not a guess.
You see clear options, one flat price each.
No hourly clock, no surprise add-ons, no end-of-job math.
You decide. We don't hover.
Every price is locked for 7 days, in writing. Sleep on it if you want to.
In your words
WHAT MATTERS TO YOU?
Tell us the three things you most want handled. We'll type them right here, and everything we show you today gets measured against them.
Before we go further
THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MATTERS
If the things you just told us got truly handled: engineered for this exact house, guaranteed in writing, done by a team you can verify...
...is that worth doing right the first time?
EVERY LEVEL, SAME INSTALLATION
Whatever you choose today, the craft never changes. These four hold on every job we do:
Measured, not guessed
We engineer from your actual home, room by room, never from the old unit's sticker. The system fits the house, not the other way around.
Permitted & inspected
Your building department independently checks our work, whenever the job requires it. A second set of eyes many contractors skip.
The parts you'll never see
The connections and joints hidden in walls and basements get the same care as the shiny box you can see. That's where cheap installs fail. Ours don't.
Documented, not promised
Every system is started up, tested to manufacturer specifications, and the readings are recorded. If we claim it, we can show it.
Your home, your call
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT TODAY?
Tap anything. See who each level is for and what your house will feel like. Pick what feels right, and we'll build your exact numbers from there.
HOW LONG SHOULD WE STAY ON THE HOOK?
Every installation is the same installation. What you choose is how long we stay responsible for it: labor warranty and included maintenance, always matched. There's no wrong choice here. Try it:
GOLD · MOST POPULAR
7-year labor warranty + 7 years of maintenance, scheduled and performed by us
None of this is required. All of it is easier while we're already there.
WHILE WE'RE THERE
Tap anything you'd like priced on your proposal. No pressure, no obligation. It just shows up as an option with a real number next to it.
OUR PROMISES, IN WRITING
Tap each one. These print on your proposal, word for word.
NO CHANGE ORDERS
The price on your proposal is the price you pay for the scope described. If we miss something, we absorb the cost. Not a penny more.
$500 NO FRUSTRATION
If we can't get to you within 24 hours for a service or emergency call in your first year, we hand you a $500 check. Hotel or dinner, your call.
PROPERTY PROTECTION
If our team damages your property, we take care of every dollar. The insurance behind that promise is printed on your proposal.
TRUE TEMP
Your system is engineered from a Manual J calculation of this home to hit the temperatures we agree on. If it doesn't, we make it right.
ONE FLAT PRICE. EVERYTHING.
We price the outcome, not the clock.
A flat rate means we carry the risk of a job running long, not you, and the price can't creep after you say yes. What we itemize is what actually protects you: the exact scope, the equipment, your coverage. All verifiable.
When it's engineered for your house and guaranteed in writing, price stops being a gamble and becomes a decision.

Same system, same craft, same guarantees, whichever you choose
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO INVEST?
One flat number covers everything. The only question is how it leaves your pocket. Tap the lane that fits how you run your money, and we build your proposal that way.
Monthly figures are typical ranges, not quotes. Financing through our lending partners, on approved credit. Exact terms print on your proposal.
WHEN YOU SAY YES: YOUR INSTALL DAY
We arrive.
On time, floors and railings protected before a single tool comes out.

Removed, recycled, hauled away.
In with the new.

We register it.
Warranty registered within 30 days, confirmation sent to you. Nothing for you to file.
Some things you do just because they make someone's day
THE FORWARD EXPRESS
NEXT STOPYOUR NEIGHBORHOODTREATSFREE, ALWAYSDIRECTIONFORWARD (ONLY)
Grasshopper runs its own trolley through Capital Region neighborhoods: parades, community days, school events, and the occasional surprise.
Why does a home services company own a trolley? Because a furnace never made a kid run down the driveway. The trolley doesn't fix anything. That's the point. Some things you do just because they make someone's day.
And keep an eye out on install day. The Forward Express has been known to make a neighborhood appearance.
ONE COMPANY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE
Most homes juggle four different contractors. Yours is about to need exactly one number.

Heating
Furnaces, boilers, heat pumps. February, handled.
❄️
Cooling
AC, ductless, air quality. July, handled.
🚿
Plumbing
Water heaters to drain lines. Handled.
⚡

Hold us to these. Everything we recommend today gets measured against this list, and it prints on the first page of your proposal.
