About RenovationRoute

RenovationRoute is built by Jesse, who started on job sites and then spent 15 years in software and security. The product is simple on purpose: one shared plan, one record of what was agreed, and one place for Stripe escrow backed payments so jobs finish without drama.

Why it exists

A tool built from both sides of the job

RenovationRoute is not a lead marketplace or a complicated back office system. It is a focused tool for the work that actually happens after you decide to move forward on a job.

Built from real jobs

RenovationRoute grew out of time on job sites and years in software. The same pattern kept repeating: scopes shifted, messages were scattered, and nobody had a clean record of what was agreed.

Pain on both sides

Homeowners lose time on missed appointments and unclear work. Contractors chase payments and argue about scope. In the end both sides are fighting the same problem: no single written agreement that stays up to date as the job changes.

Designed to stay out of the way

Jesse knew the tools to fix this already existed. What was missing was a product built specifically for construction that felt light enough for real jobs, not enterprise software or a lead marketplace.

What it does

One place for scope, changes, and payments

The goal is straightforward. Give every project one source of truth so it is easier to start, easier to manage, and easier to finish without disputes.

Transparency

Every quote, message, photo, and payment lives in one place. Homeowners and contractors see the same scope, the same milestones, and the same changes.

Security

All funds move through Stripe escrow and are only released when the work is approved. Contractors get paid. Homeowners are protected. Behind the scenes it uses the same security practices Jesse has applied for 15 years in enterprise software so your data and money stay safe.

Fair pricing

One percent platform fee. Free for homeowners. No lead fees, no subscription tiers, no upsells buried in the product.

Built for real contractors

Not enterprise software that takes a month to learn. Contractors should be able to send a quote, set milestones, and invite a customer in minutes, then get back to the work.
