HomeHelper is an AI tool that assists users with home improvement, maintenance, and renovation management. Designed for DIY homeowners, real estate flippers, and skilled trade professionals, the platform provides conversational guidance through its AI assistant, LEO. Homeowners can use the assistant to diagnose household repair issues, receive step-by-step repair instructions, identify necessary tools, and evaluate project difficulty and cost estimations before starting work. For larger renovations, HomeHelper includes a Home Journal feature that tracks project milestones, logs materials and completed stages, and suggests logical next steps for multi-room upgrades. Skilled trade technicians can use the assistant to look up technical equipment specifications on job sites and translate complex technical requirements into accessible explanations for customers. Additionally, the tool provides professional quotation review capabilities to help property owners analyze contractor bids, check for missing costs like permits, and draft listings for an integrated local contractor marketplace. Pricing details for HomeHelper are currently not publicly specified.
Problem: Homeowners often face minor household issues (like a leaky faucet or a faulty light switch) but lack the technical knowledge to fix them. They often call expensive contractors for simple tasks out of fear of making a mistake or because they don't know which tools are required.
Solution: HomeHelper’s AI assistant, LEO, acts as an on-demand technical coach. It provides a breakdown of the tools needed, the difficulty level of the task, and specific step-by-step instructions. This builds the user's confidence and allows them to handle repairs safely without the "hefty bill" of a professional visit.
Example: A homeowner notices a toilet is constantly running. They chat with LEO, who identifies the likely issue (a faulty flapper). LEO provides a list of tools (pliers, replacement flapper), explains how to shut off the water, and walks the user through the 10-minute replacement process.
Problem: Professional technicians (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) often struggle to explain complex technical problems to customers in a way that is easy to understand. Additionally, field pros may spend too much time "scouring the internet" for specific technical data or equipment specs while on a job site.
Solution: Technicians can use HomeHelper as a "second brain" to quickly retrieve technical information or to generate layman-friendly explanations for their clients. By using LEO to summarize project needs or technical requirements, pros can improve their sales conversions and save hours of research time.
Example: An HVAC technician uses LEO to find the specific efficiency ratings for an older furnace model. They then ask LEO to "explain why this part needs replacing to a homeowner with no mechanical experience," using the AI-generated response to clearly communicate the value of the repair to the client.
Problem: Real estate investors and home flippers manage multiple moving parts, from structural changes to aesthetic upgrades. Keeping a historical record of what was done, what materials were used, and the progress of various rooms is difficult to manage across different platforms.
Solution: The "Home Journal" feature allows users to track their home’s journey using AI-powered insights. It provides a centralized place to document progress, receive personalized tips based on the project stage, and share the journey with stakeholders or potential buyers.
Example: A home flipper starts a kitchen renovation. They log every milestone in the Home Journal. LEO analyzes the progress and suggests the next logical steps (e.g., "Since the cabinets are in, it’s time to schedule the countertop template"). When the house goes on the market, the flipper has a documented "Home Journey" to show the quality of work to buyers.
Problem: When a project is too large for DIY (like a roof replacement or basement finishing), homeowners often feel "left in the dark" when reviewing contractor quotes. They don't know if the pricing is fair or if the proposed technical approach is standard practice.
Solution: HomeHelper transforms the homeowner into an "informed buyer." The Pro plan offers a monthly quotation review where AI or in-house professionals analyze contractor bids. LEO can also help the user draft a job listing for the HomeHelper marketplace to ensure they are asking for the right services.
Example: A homeowner receives three different quotes for a deck installation. They upload the details to LEO, who highlights the differences in materials and labor costs between the bids. LEO points out that one contractor omitted the cost of permits, helping the homeowner avoid a surprise expense later and choose the most comprehensive bid.

HomeHelper is an AI-powered assistant designed to support home maintenance, renovations, and repair projects. It helps DIY homeowners identify repair problems, provides step-by-step instructions with tool lists, and calculates task difficulty and cost estimates. It also assists home flippers with project tracking and helps technicians communicate technical details to clients clearly.
HomeHelper is built for DIY homeowners, real estate flippers, and skilled trade professionals such as HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians. Homeowners use it to complete minor household repairs independently, flippers use it to document renovation milestones in a centralized log, and contractors use it to retrieve equipment specs and communicate repair needs effectively to clients.
HomeHelper allows users to submit project bids from contractors for quotation review. The system analyzes the line items across different quotes, comparing labor costs and materials. It can flag discrepancies or missing expenses, such as required municipal permits, enabling property owners to choose comprehensive bids and avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs during major home construction projects.
The Home Journal is an AI-driven project tracking tool within HomeHelper. It allows property owners and real estate flippers to document renovation progress, log completed milestones, and record materials used across different rooms. The assistant evaluates the journal entries to recommend subsequent project steps and generates a verified history of renovations for future property buyers.
