How Homeowners Start

Two ways to begin, same trusted process from there.

Option 1
1a

Create Your Project

Describe your idea and let RenovationRoute’s AI create a professional scope, material list, and cost range. Upload photos or sketches to clarify your vision.

Option 2
1b

Invite an Existing Contractor

Already have a contractor from another platform or a referral? Request them to send a RenovationRoute proposal which will protect you. Your job gets milestones, document storage, escrow protection and history.

Whichever way you start, RenovationRoute guides you through the same clear, secure process.

2

Review & Approve Proposals

Review quotes, request edits, and approve your contractor’s proposal. Once accepted, RenovationRoute sets up your projects dashboard and escrow automatically.

3

Work Begins with Escrow Protection

Deposited funds into escrow and released only when each milestone is approved keeping both sides protected and on schedule.

4

Track Progress & Communicate

Chat directly, share documents and progress photos, and see every update logged automatically, all in one place.

5

Release Payment & Complete

When the final milestone is approved, escrow releases payment automatically. Both sides receive a verified record and can leave reviews.

Get Projects Done the Right Way

RenovationRoute gives homeowners and contractors the tools to plan clearly, protect payments, and finish jobs with confidence wherever the project begins.
