AtYourPorch is where homeowners show what they are doing with their homes and see what everyone else is doing with theirs — real projects across every trade, the questions people ask along the way, and the contractors who did the work. Everything a homeowner shares also builds their home's record over time. Commercial property owners and managers use AtYourPorch as a property operations and intelligence platform for their portfolios.

Where is AtYourPorch available?

Any homeowner in the United States can create an account and build their home's Property DNA for free — the property profile, Home Health Score, and document vault are available nationwide. The verified contractor network, where homeowners connect with performance-ranked local contractors, is live nationwide across the U.S.

What is a Permanent Property Record?

It's the complete digital history behind your Property DNA — the age and condition of every major system, all maintenance performed, every contractor who has worked on the property, and all permits, warranties, and inspection reports. AtYourPorch organizes and maintains this history automatically so your Property DNA stays accurate, and so you can prove what has been done when you refinance, insure or sell.

Why does a permanent property record matter when I sell my home?

Most homes are sold on claims nobody can check — “the roof is about eight years old,” “the HVAC was serviced regularly.” A Permanent Property Record replaces that with evidence: dated photos, invoices, warranties and the contractors who did the work. A buyer, an appraiser and an inspector can all see the same history, which removes the guesswork that usually turns into a price negotiation.

Can a permanent property record lower my insurance or help with a claim?

It gives you what insurers ask for and most homeowners cannot produce: proof of when a system was replaced, who replaced it, and what condition it is in. When you file a claim, the record shows the property's state before the loss. Some carriers also reward documented maintenance on roofs, plumbing and electrical. AtYourPorch does not set insurance pricing — it makes the evidence available.

What happens to my home's record if I move?

The record belongs to the property, not to you. When the home changes hands the history stays with the house, and you start a fresh record at your new address. That is what makes it permanent — a home accumulates its history across owners instead of losing it every time somebody moves.

Do I have to enter everything myself?

No. Most of the record builds itself. Hire a contractor through AtYourPorch and the completed job attaches automatically — who did it, when, and what it cost. Upload a photo or a document and AI reads it, identifies the system, and files it. Posting about a project on your own home adds it to the record too. Typing things in by hand is the exception, not the method.

Does DIY work count toward my property record?

Yes. Work you did yourself is still work done to the home, and receipts for materials still count as documented investment. The record notes that it was DIY rather than contractor-performed, so the history stays honest — but it counts.

What is a Home Health Score?

A Home Health Score is a numeric rating (0–100) calculated by AtYourPorch that reflects the overall condition of your property. It considers the age and condition of major systems like HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and electrical, along with maintenance history and outstanding tasks.

What is Property DNA?

Property DNA is the unique fingerprint of a property — a comprehensive profile that includes its structural history, system records, contractor history, permit history, and maintenance timeline. AtYourPorch builds your Property DNA automatically as you log activity.

What documents should homeowners keep?

Homeowners should keep purchase records, inspection reports, permits and certificates of occupancy, warranties for appliances and systems, invoices from contractors and service providers, insurance documents, and HOA agreements. AtYourPorch stores and organizes all of these in a single Document Vault with AI-powered extraction.

How does AtYourPorch find trusted contractors?

AtYourPorch connects homeowners with contractors based on verified work history, not paid placement. Contractors are rated on performance, and their job records — including photos, timelines, and invoices — become part of the property's DNA.

How long should major home systems last?

Typical lifespans: HVAC systems 15–20 years, roofing 20–30 years, water heaters 8–12 years, electrical panels 25–40 years, plumbing 40–70 years. AtYourPorch tracks these lifespans automatically and alerts you when systems approach end-of-life.

Is AtYourPorch free for homeowners?

Yes. AtYourPorch is free for homeowners — your property profile, system tracking, document storage, sharing projects, and hiring through the contractor marketplace all cost nothing.

How does AtYourPorch generate leads for contractors?

AtYourPorch connects contractors with homeowners and commercial property owners who need work done — without pay-to-win rankings. Contractors are matched to projects based on verified performance, trade specialization, and service area. Every completed job builds a Verified Contractor Record that increases future lead quality and conversion.

What is a Verified Contractor Record?

A Verified Contractor Record is a permanent, verified work history built on AtYourPorch. It includes completed projects, photos, timelines, homeowner reviews, and job costs — all tied to the actual properties where work was performed. This record builds contractor reputation organically and helps win future bids.

What is a Trust Score for contractors?

A Trust Score is AtYourPorch's performance rating for contractors. It is calculated from verified job completions, homeowner reviews, response time, bid accuracy, and work quality — not advertising spend. A higher Trust Score increases visibility in the marketplace and generates more qualified leads.

What trades does AtYourPorch support for contractors?

AtYourPorch supports all major residential and commercial trades including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contracting, painting, landscaping, pest control, pool service, and more. Contractors set their primary trade and service area to receive matched project leads.

Can AtYourPorch be used for commercial properties?

Yes. AtYourPorch is built for commercial property owners and property managers who need to unify maintenance tracking, contractor history, and building system records across multiple properties. Commercial accounts support team access, multi-property portfolios, and centralized facility maintenance records.

How does AtYourPorch help commercial property managers?

Commercial property managers use AtYourPorch to replace disconnected spreadsheets and siloed work orders with a unified Commercial Property Record. Every building system, maintenance event, contractor visit, permit, and inspection is tracked in one place — giving managers a real-time view of their entire portfolio's health.

What is a Commercial Property Record?

A Commercial Property Record is a complete, permanent digital history of a commercial building — including all mechanical systems, maintenance history, contractor records, permits, inspections, and warranties. AtYourPorch builds this record automatically as activity is logged, replacing fragmented maintenance systems with a single source of truth.

One platform, three sides

Every property has a history. This is who writes it.

Most of what happens to a building never gets written down — it lives in a shoebox, a text thread, or nobody's memory at all. Here the people doing the work record it as it happens, and what they leave behind is a history the property keeps for good.
