Your eyes on the job site.
Your independent advocate during any renovation project. We review contractor bids, verify work quality at key milestones, document progress with photos, and flag issues before they become costly problems. Our fee is $899 minimum — $299 at booking and 1.5% of your ORIGINAL SIGNED CONTRACT SUM as milestones are verified. Change orders never increase it. Every dollar we talk your contractor out of is a dollar you keep and we earn nothing on.
Contractors work for themselves. Someone needs to be working for you.
Every Build Guide includes real work — not just a clipboard. Here's what your pro handles, all in your base price.
Hearth is not a licensed contractor. Our pros perform minor work that does not require a California contractor license, and we refer all licensed trade work to licensed professionals.
Before we fix a thing, we understand the whole picture — and photograph it for your Home Profile.
A flat $299 covers up to 4 milestone site visits. On top of that, a 1.5% fee per contractor invoice means we review every bill before you pay — so our incentive stays locked to protecting your budget, never the contractor's.
Every one of these is a flat price you add when you book — you see the total before anyone leaves for your house. Nothing gets quoted at your kitchen table.
Your vetted Hearth pro walks the home and checks 6 key areas, photographing everything as they go.
The included work and every add-on you picked, done in the same visit — all at the flat price you already agreed to.
A photo-documented report lands in your Home Profile, with a prioritized plan for whatever comes next.
A real, vetted pro stood in your home and photographed the proof — an AI guessing from a weather feed can't. That's the difference between a record you can trust and an estimate.
Reputable contractors welcome independent oversight — it protects them too. If a contractor refuses oversight, that's a red flag worth knowing before you sign.
We can start mid-project. We'll document current status and focus on the remaining work.
It's $299 for up to 4 milestone visits, plus a 1.5% fee on each contractor invoice we review before you pay. So our independence stays aligned with protecting your budget.
We provide documentation to support disputes. Thorough photo records and written issue reports are the foundation of any contractor dispute.
