Smart home, age-in-place, and the repairs and renovations in between — planned and managed by someone who isn’t trying to sell you their solution.
No charge, no obligation — and the manual is yours to keep whether or not you ever hire me.
Locks, cameras, thermostats, lighting, leak and smoke sensors — chosen for you and your home, installed, and then explained so you can actually use them.
Changes that let you or your parents stay in the home you love: safer bathrooms, easier entries, better light, hardware that works with tired hands.
From a punch list of small annoyances to a full kitchen, bath, or exterior remodel.
I am not paid to move one manufacturer’s product or fill one crew’s schedule. I look at the whole home, tell you what is urgent and what can wait, and then either do the work myself or bring in the right trade and manage it for you.
More about how I workEvery house comes with a hundred details nobody ever wrote down. Which filter fits the furnace. When the roof went on and who made the shingle. What the warranty actually covers. Where the water shuts off at two in the morning.
I spend about ninety minutes walking your home with you, then turn all of it into one printed manual made for your address. It is free, and it is yours whether or not we ever do a project together.
This is a written record of your home, not a home inspection, and it does not replace one.
Every major appliance with model and serial numbers, filter sizes and where to find the manual.
Furnace, air conditioning, water heater, panel and shutoffs — age, capacity and exactly where they are.
Paint colors, flooring, roof, siding, windows and doors, with what is installed where.
What is still covered, by whom, and until when — collected in one place instead of six drawers.
Your home documented room by room, including what is behind the walls wherever I can see it.
A month-by-month list of what to do and when, so nothing sneaks up on you in February.
Fifteen minutes on the phone so I understand what is going on in the house and what you are hoping to change.
About ninety minutes at your house. I document everything, and you ask me anything you want about the place.
You get the manual. If there is work worth doing, you get honest priorities and real pricing. No expiring discounts.
Ninety minutes, no charge, and you end up with a manual for your own home — even if the honest answer is that nothing needs doing right now.
