Frequently asked questions

How much does home maintenance cost per year?
A common rule of thumb is 1–4% of a home's value per year, but that's a blunt instrument. Property Maintenance Report estimates the actual figure from the home's systems, age, and state — typically a few thousand dollars a year for routine upkeep, plus a separate reserve for big-ticket replacements.
Is the maintenance report free?
Yes — your first report, including the 12-month schedule and annual budget, is free with no card and no sign-up. The full 10-year capital plan is an optional one-time upgrade.
How accurate are the estimates?
Estimates are built from national cost baselines for each system, adjusted by your state's labor and materials index and local climate. They're planning figures — not quotes or inspections — and get more precise as you confirm details about the home.
What do I need to get a report?
Just a US street address. We prefill what we can about the property; you confirm a few facts, and the report generates in about two minutes.
