How it works

Get the work done, the easy way.

Find your home in the Los Angeles County record, build a list of what it needs, and we'll line up quotes from local pros. What you log stays with the address.

STEP 1

Find your home

Search any address in Los Angeles County. You'll see the parcel it sits on and the structure mapped over it, or an honest blank where the record is silent.

STEP 2

Build your list

Pick from common work for homes here: roof, seismic retrofit, panel upgrade, sewer lateral, and add anything else you know you need.

STEP 3

Get quotes

We pass your list to local pros who work in your area. No cost, no obligation, and we only share what you picked and how to reach you.

STEP 4

Your record, kept

What you log stays on the home: what was done, when, and by whom. Useful years later, and useful to whoever owns it next.

Common questions

What does this cost?
Looking up a home and keeping its record is free. Quotes are free and carry no obligation. If you hire someone we matched you with, they may pay us a referral fee. That never changes your price, and we say so on the quote.
How are the suggestions generated?
Right now they are general, not personalised. They are the work most commonly needed by homes in Los Angeles County, not an assessment of your specific house. Once permit and assessor records are loaded for your jurisdiction, suggestions will be driven by your home's actual age and permit history, and each one will say what it is based on. Nothing here is an inspection.
Does a blank record mean no work was done?
No. A blank means nothing is on file with us. Permits lag reality by months, some cities publish little, and unpermitted work never appears at all. Read a gap as unknown, never as nothing happened.
Why doesn't my address show a parcel number?
About 7 percent of addresses in Los Angeles County sit inside more than one parcel, usually condominiums where many separately owned units share one footprint. The boundary alone cannot say which unit is yours, so we do not guess. The county Assessor can resolve it by unit.
Do I have to prove I own the home?
Not to look it up, because the record is public. To keep a private maintenance log on an address you verify that you can receive mail there. We do not publish owner names, and claiming a home does not make your log public.
What area do you cover?
Los Angeles County. Coverage of permits and other municipal records varies by city, and each page says what is loaded for that jurisdiction.

Why keep the record

Know what's been done

The roof year, the panel upgrade, who did the work. The stuff you swear you'll remember and don't.

See what's coming

Service life runs out on a schedule. Knowing the water heater is eleven years old beats finding out on a Sunday.

Worth something when you sell

A documented maintenance history answers questions buyers ask anyway, with dates instead of recollection.
