For DIY homeowners

For the person who does it themselves — and wants to remember it.

You already know how to fix things. What's missing is the record: what you did, what it cost, which part you used, and who you'd call for the one job you'd rather not do. Eave is that record.

The hands-on homeowner

You're capable. The paperwork is the hard part.

"I remember doing it. I just can't remember when, or what it cost."

You don't need a pro for most of it. You need a system that keeps up with you — one that captures the project as fast as you think of it, tracks what you actually spent against what you planned, and remembers the caulk brand and the filter size so next time isn't a fresh investigation. The average homeowner spends around $8,808 a year on maintenance; when you do the work yourself, knowing where that money went is the whole game.

Built for the way you work

Capture it, cost it, log it

DIY-first

Capture without breaking stride

Notice something mid-task and get it down in seconds. Speak it, snap it, or type it — "deck boards loose near the steps" — and capture turns it into a scoped project with room, category, priority, and an estimated cost. No forms, no losing the thought.

Budget vs. actual on every project

Each project carries an estimate, and as you log materials and spend, you track what the job actually cost against what you planned. Over a year, that's a real picture of where your maintenance dollars go — not a guess.

A running log of the work you do

Your home knowledge base logs DIY work the same way it logs a contractor's — cost, materials, and date, tied to the room and the appliance. The furnace's filter size, the paint in the hallway, when you last flushed the water heater. It's the record you'll wish you had the next time, and the one that makes selling or insuring straightforward.

Your trusted contractors, on hand

For the one job you'd rather hand off, keep your own network close. Photograph a business card and it's saved as a contact — your electrician, your roofer — not a lead-gen list. And your upkeep score gives you a live read on how the home is holding up as you knock projects down.

DIY questions

What hands-on owners ask

Can I track my own projects and budgets?

Yes. Capture a project by voice, photo, or text and Eave scopes it with a room, category, priority, and estimated cost. As you buy materials and log the work, you can track budget versus actual on each project, so you always know where a job landed against what you expected.

Does Eave push me to hire pros?

No. Doing it yourself is a first-class resolution path in Eave, not a fallback. Every project can be marked as DIY, and your knowledge base logs the work you did — cost, materials, and date — the same way it would a contractor's. Pro services exist if you ever want them, but Eave never nudges you toward hiring.

Is it free?

Yes. Eave is free for one property, forever, and runs in any browser at app.eavehome.app. Eave Intelligence — the ranked weekly queue, 12-month upkeep plan, and materials estimates — is an optional upgrade at $2.99 a month. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon.
