Right now it is probably in your head, or a
shoebox of receipts. When did we last service the AC? Is the roof still under
warranty? Who redid the water heater? SeattleHomework keeps every repair and upgrade in
one place, so you always know what has been done and what is coming up. And when you
sell, that history becomes proof for the next owner, the way a full service record
sells a car.
Know what's been done
Every repair, upgrade, and service, with the date and who did it. No more
guessing or digging through old email.
Never miss what's next
See when the roof, AC, or water heater is getting close, before it fails.
Proof when you sell
A documented home reassures buyers and can help it sell faster.
