Brushed GantrySee a sample

The only home repair helper that keeps a lasting record of your house and tells you plainly when a job is not yours to do.

For homeowners around 60 and over, who have lived in the same house for years, on their own or as a couple.

SampleA made-up record, shown to give you the idea.

A web helper that remembers your house.

Every repair, every date and every note about your house goes into the House Record, in plain words. It is still there next spring, and the spring after.

A word when the season turns.

Seasonal reminders come with the record: the gutters before the leaves fall, the furnace before the cold. You do not have to carry the list in your head.

How does it work, day to day?

1. Tell it about your house

Start with the house as it is today: how old the roof is, what heats the water, the corner of the cellar you keep meaning to look at.

2. Ask about a repair

Say what is wrong. You get a plain answer: here is how to do it, or this one is not yours to do, and who to ask instead.

3. Let it keep the record

Every job goes into the House Record. Seasonal reminders come back when the house needs them.

$9 a month.

Is this job mine?

A tap that drips

Yours to do.

Turn off the valve under the sink, then change the washer.

A crack above the window

Not yours to do.

Ask a builder to look. The date goes into your record.

SampleTwo made-up questions, with the kind of answer you would get.

When a job is not yours to do, it says so.

Some repairs belong to a roofer, an electrician or a plumber. Brushed Gantry tells you plainly, so you are never left guessing at the top of a ladder.

Your house has a history. Now it has a record.
