Chicago, IL \u2014 February 10, 2026<\/strong> - Daisy<\/a>, the nation\u2019s leading and fastest-growing smart home and small business technology installation and services company, today announced its expansion into the Chicago market through the conversion of Sapient Home<\/strong>, a well-established custom integration firm founded in 2004. Owned by Corey Ardell<\/strong> and Neal Carlson<\/strong>, Sapient Home will now operate under the Daisy brand, becoming Daisy\u2019s 20th franchise location nationwide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

For more than two decades, Sapient Home has built a strong reputation in the Chicago market by prioritizing close, long-term client relationships and delivering customized solutions tailored to each customer\u2019s needs. Ardell and Carlson chose to partner with Daisy to unlock new growth opportunities and scale their business beyond what they could achieve independently\u2014while preserving the service quality and personal approach that define their brand.<\/p>\n\n\u201cFrom the very beginning, Daisy was built for high-quality integrators who want to grow without losing what makes them special,\u201d said Hagan Kappler<\/strong>, co-founder and CEO of Daisy. \u201cSapient Home exemplifies that philosophy. Corey and Neal have built an impressive business grounded in trust, craftsmanship, and deep customer relationships. We\u2019re thrilled to welcome them to the Daisy network and to expand our presence in the dynamic Chicago market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Ardell emphasized that the decision to convert to Daisy was driven by a desire to scale thoughtfully and sustainably.<\/p>\n\n

Carlson added that Daisy\u2019s platform and long-term vision aligned closely with Sapient Home\u2019s values and ambitions.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe reached a point where we knew we could go further with the right partner,\u201d said Neal Carlson<\/strong>, co-owner of Sapient Home. \u201cDaisy brings proven systems, operational expertise, and a national brand that allow us to meet increasing demand and better serve our clients, without sacrificing the relationships we\u2019ve worked so hard to build.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n\n

With the addition of Sapient Home, Daisy continues its rapid national expansion. In 2025 alone, the company signed 14 franchise agreements<\/strong>, reflecting strong demand from experienced integrators and entrepreneurs seeking a scalable, supportive platform.<\/p>\n\n
