A vetted Hearth pro comes into your San Diego home and does the work — rekeys your locks, anchors the dresser, sets the water heater to 120°F. Every home moves through seasons; tell us where you are, and we'll point you to the service built for it.
The home apps — Hint and the rest — scrape public records and send you reminders. Hearth sends a real, vetted person with tools, who does the work and photographs it while standing in your home.
A home app
An algorithm guessing from public data.
Scrapes county records and a weather feed, then sends reminders.
Estimates a score from records — no one has ever seen the actual room.
Tells you what might be wrong. The fixing is still on you.
Hearth
A real, vetted person in your home doing the work.
Rekeys your locks, anchors the dresser, and installs the grab bars — themselves.
Photographs every visit, so your Home Profile is ground truth a person captured on-site.
Shows up and fixes it, backed by a 30-day labor warranty across San Diego County.
Your Home Profile isn't a subscription or an AI estimate. It exists only because a real person did real work in your home and documented it — signed by the human who was here, verified and photographed, visit by visit.

Key inclusions
Re-key up to 3 exterior locks (new keys on the spot)
Reinforced strike plates — 3 inch screws driven into the framing on the deadbolt strike and top hinge of every door we re-key
Every smoke & CO alarm tested and dated, plus a whole-home coverage map showing exactly where you are short — and the first dead or missing alarm replaced with a 10-year sealed-battery combination unit (additional units $75 each, added when you book or on the day)
Minor fixes on previously flagged items (tighten, adjust, re-secure, small part swaps)
Air filter replacement (1 standard-size filter — additional or high-MERV filters billed at rate card)
Every smoke and CO alarm tested and its manufacture date read — batteries replaced in up to 4 units, replacements flagged past the 10-year limit
Room-by-room hazard notes — every room walked with your child's current stage in mind, plus what typically changes as children start crawling, climbing, and opening doors
Outlet safety audit — every receptacle checked for tamper-resistance, and caps fitted to accessible unused outlets that are not tamper-resistant (up to 12)
Chemicals, laundry packets and medicines relocated up and out of reach, then magnetic locks on every remaining cabinet or drawer holding a hazard (up to 10)
Up to 4 milestone site visits and 12 hours of oversight total — the 5th visit and beyond bills per visit
CSLB license, bond, workers' comp, and complaint history verified on your GC and up to 6 subs before anyone starts, re-checked at framing
A plain-language checklist of the items B&P 7159 requires a home-improvement contract to contain, filled in against your contract so you can see what is present and what is missing — bring anything missing to an attorney
Re-key all exterior locks (up to 3) — new keys handed to you on the spot
Door reinforcement — 3" screws driven into the framing at the strike plate and hinges, up to 2 exterior doors
Erase the garage opener's entire memory, then re-pair only the remotes physically in front of us — including your car's HomeLink
Two grab bars put where the resident actually reaches for them — one at the tub/shower entry, one beside the toilet — 1.25–1.5in diameter, mounted 33–36in above the floor with 1.5in wall clearance, anchored into wall studs or into manufacturer-rated solid-wall anchors installed per the anchor manufacturer instructions. Never a drywall anchor. We hang our full weight on each bar before we call it done and photograph the result. We do not certify a load rating; where a wall will not take a stud-anchored bar we stop and refer you to a licensed contractor.
Non-slip treads bonded into the tub/shower floor, plus one rubber-backed mat outside the tub
Loose rugs cleared from walking paths and rolled/stored — gripper pads fitted under up to 2 rugs the resident wants to keep
Tighten every loose door handle, cabinet knob, towel bar, toilet seat, faucet handle, closet rod, and railing
Caulking refresh — primary bathroom tub/shower perimeter and kitchen sink & backsplash line
Scuffs and nail holes filled and sanded ready for paint — in a home built 1978 or later we touch them in with your leftover paint where available (up to 30 minutes); pre-1978 homes are prepped only and referred to a lead-certified renovator

Your inspection report, annotated — each flagged item re-checked in person, with a Hearth price or a licensed-trade referral against it
