FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about RenovationRoute
How is RenovationRoute different from Angi, Thumbtack, or Service Titan?
We're not a lead-selling platform (like Angi or Thumbtack) and we're not trying to be a full CRM (like Service Titan). RenovationRoute is focused on what matters most: intelligent estimation, professional quotes, project tracking, secure payments, and federal bid analysis. We handle the essentials end to end so both homeowners and contractors can focus on getting the work done.
How does RenovationRoute operate?
Built by a small team of senior engineers and builders, we focus on real value. We created RenovationRoute to solve our own problems, then decided to share it.
Is there a fee to use RenovationRoute?
Posting a project is free for homeowners. Contractors can check out our pricing page for details on contractor fees and payment processing costs.
How does escrow work?
Contractors create a payment schedule. Homeowners fund each milestone. RenovationRoute holds the funds securely and releases them only when the homeowner approves the work.
Can contractors invite their team?
Yes. Add workers and track progress all inside RenovationRoute.
Do I need to download an app?
No. RenovationRoute works seamlessly on desktop, tablet, or mobile.
