Getting started with HomeForeman

For homeowners

HomeForeman works best when it knows your house. Onboarding walks you through the basics: address, year built, and the systems that matter (HVAC, water heater, roof, appliances).

The fast path

  • Upload your home inspection report (PDF). We extract your systems, their ages, and every defect the inspector flagged, and turn them into a prioritized fix list.
  • Photograph appliance data plates. We read brand, model, and serial, and estimate the age.
  • Map your shutoffs (water main, gas valve, breaker panel) so they're findable in an emergency.

What you get

  • A preventive maintenance schedule tuned to your systems and climate.
  • DIY-vs-pro triage when something breaks, with hard safety stops.
  • Fair local price ranges before you ever talk to a contractor.
  • Projects: scope bigger jobs once and collect real bids without sales visits.

Everything the AI extracts lands in editable forms. You are always in charge of what's saved.
