Why document a home renovation?
During a renovation, information quickly spreads across invoices, emails, messages, photos and paper documents. Months later, finding one specific detail can be surprisingly difficult.
HomeBook gives each renovation a place in your home's history. You can keep photos, dates, costs, contractors, receipts, documents and notes together with the work they belong to.
What to include in renovation records
- Before-and-after photos
- What was renovated and when
- Contractors and people who completed the work
- Materials and major purchases
- Costs, receipts and warranty information
- Important documents related to the renovation
Build a history instead of a folder
A folder can store files, but it does not automatically tell the story of the home. A renovation record can connect the photo, date, cost and supporting documents so the information makes sense later.
Over multiple renovations, these individual records become a complete history of how the home has changed. When you eventually sell, you can export the history as a PDF or pass the history to a new HomeBook user.
