THE PROBLEM
Homeowners face many maintenance and improvement decisions but
often do not know what to fix first, what can wait, what a project
should cost, or which improvements are worth the money. This is
especially difficult after buying a home or when preparing a home
for sale.
OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION
HomeReady is an AI-powered home maintenance and improvement
advisor. A homeowner enters a goal, budget, and timeline and can
upload a home photo. The tool identifies potential projects,
ranks them by urgency, safety, quality-of-life impact, cost, and
potential resale value, and creates a prioritized action plan.
