Renovation history becomes valuable long after the dust is gone
Future repairs often depend on details from past work: who installed something, which product was used, when the work happened and whether a warranty remains.
Create one project record
A renovation record can contain project name, dates, rooms/areas affected, contractor contacts, material/product references, invoices, photos and warranty information.
Preserve product details that affect future maintenance
Paint colors, flooring product names, fixture models or replacement parts may save substantial time later. Record them while packaging and invoices are still available.
Link new assets created by the renovation
A newly installed appliance or HVAC system should become its own asset with installation date and warranty, while remaining linked to the renovation project.
Keep permits and legal documents as references
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Store the documents if they exist; do not use the app to decide whether a permit was required.
Contextual CTA: For the next project, create the renovation record before work begins so documents and decisions have a place from day one.
