Free for contractors. BuildTrust isn't a lead-gen platform — homeowners bring you to the job, and you keep your scope, schedule, and payments in one shared workspace.

Know the rule before you sign

Every state draws the contract line in a different place.

We show homeowners and contractors the exact dollar threshold in their state — so the contract becomes the obvious, easy path, not a hurdle. Small jobs stay casual. Bigger jobs get the paperwork contractors are legally required to have anyway, drafted for them in minutes.

Check your state's contract rule

Pick a state to see the dollar amount at which a written contract is required. Above the limit, BuildTrust auto-drafts the contract — no attorney, no friction.

Example: California requires a written contract for any home-improvement job over $500.

Small job? Skip the paperwork.

Casual mode for handyman work.

Under your state's threshold, BuildTrust gives both sides a lightweight way to stay organized — no contract, no payment schedule, just a shared log.

  • State-specific contract threshold shown the moment you pick a state
  • Message board, photo log, and shared documents
  • Simple paid / unpaid tracker — no milestone schedule required
  • Auto-suggests upgrading to a full contract if the job grows past the limit
  • Contractors stay compliant by default — the contract path is one click

Home Hub · Lifetime home record · $99/yr or free with Pro

Every warranty, receipt, and document — for the life of the home.

Home Hub is your lifetime property record. One place for every appliance, system, document, warranty, receipt, and insurance policy in your house — water heater, HVAC, dishwasher, roof, deck stain, the dryer, the fridge. Store the install date, model and serial number, warranty length and expiration, the manufacturer's customer-service number, the contractor who installed it, photos, and the receipt. When the dishwasher dies four years from now, the warranty info is one tap away — not buried in a junk drawer.

  • Model #, serial #, install date, warranty length & expiration — captured once, searchable forever.
  • Forward any receipt, permit, or HOA letter to the property's auto-filing email — it lands in the right record.
  • Maintenance reminders — filters, gutters, HVAC, batteries — in-app, email & SMS on the right cadence.
  • AI search across documents — "what's my dishwasher serial?" or "when does my roof warranty expire?" — answered in seconds.
  • Sell the house? Transfer the entire record to the new owner with one link — a real selling point at closing.

$99/yr standalone — or included free with Homeowner Pro. Cancel anytime. Free record transfer to the next owner when you sell.

For contractors

Win more jobs. Get paid faster. Look more professional.

BuildTrust isn't a review site and we don't rank or rate you. It's a tool to run cleaner jobs, get paid on every milestone, and keep your own record of the work you've done — yours to share, not ours to score.

New — contractor superpower

Talk it out. We'll write the proposal.

Tap the mic icon — it lives as a labeled pill in the bottom-right on desktop and a sticky bar on mobile the moment you log in as a contractor. Describe the job out loud while you're walking the site. BuildTrust AI turns your words into a clean, line-itemed proposal the homeowner can accept in one tap.

Also available as the Proposals tab inside any project.

Your project history
Yours to share — on bids, your site, anywhere.

  • Voice → proposal AI

    Walk the job, talk it out, get a line-itemed proposal. No more evenings at the kitchen table writing quotes.

  • Faster, cleaner invoicing

    AI drafts your invoices and lien waivers the moment work wraps. Cleaner paperwork means faster checks.

  • SMS job invites

    Homeowners can text you the project link straight to your phone — no app install, no email digging.

  • Get paid for every change

    Every change is a documented change order with its own price line — so extra work shows up on the invoice.

  • State-aware contracts

    We check your state's written-contract threshold and draft a compliant agreement automatically.

  • Casual / handyman mode

    Small cash jobs under threshold? Skip the full contract and use a simple paid / unpaid tracker — still timestamped.

  • Material cost ledger

    Log receipts privately. Homeowners never see your margins — only contractors on the job can view costs.

  • Warranty record per appliance

    Your install is logged with model, serial, warranty length, and your contact info — so years later the homeowner still knows who did the work.

  • Project inbox email

    Forward supplier confirmations and receipts to the project's auto-filing email. They land in the right job.

  • Branded PDF proposals & contracts

    Your logo, your colors. Looks like a $5K marketing budget — costs you nothing.

  • Your own portfolio

    Completed projects, photos, and signed scope live on a profile you control and can share anywhere.

  • Multilingual contracts

    Generate clear English contracts from notes in Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, or your preferred language.

  • Shared message board

    Every message, milestone, and change order is timestamped. One source of truth — no he-said/she-said.

  • Paperwork on autopilot

    AI drafts your change orders, lien waivers, and final invoices. You sign and send.

Free for contractors. No subscription. No rating system. Just a cleaner way to run the job.
