Home Improvements

Track Home Improvement Records via Email

Stop losing contractor invoices in your email. Forward them to EstateHelm and build a complete renovation history that adds value when you sell.

Why Home Improvement Records Matter

Your home is likely your biggest investment, yet most homeowners have no organized record of the work they've done. When it's time to sell, file an insurance claim, or call back that contractor who did great work three years ago—you're stuck digging through old emails and paper receipts.

Higher Home Value

Documented improvements justify higher asking prices to buyers

Insurance Claims

Prove what work was done and what it cost after damage

Warranty Tracking

Know exactly when warranties expire and who to call

Contractor History

Keep contact info for every contractor who's worked on your home

When It's Time to Sell

Imagine handing a buyer a complete record of every improvement you've made. The new roof, the updated electrical panel, the kitchen remodel—all documented with dates, costs, contractors, and permits. That's the difference between “we did some work” and proof of a well-maintained home.

What Buyers Want to Know

  • When was the roof replaced?
  • How old is the HVAC system?
  • Was the electrical updated to code?
  • Were proper permits pulled?
  • Are there any active warranties?

With EstateHelm, you have all the answers—organized and ready to share. It's one of the easiest ways to build buyer confidence and justify your asking price.
