Home Maintenance and Big-Replacement Planner

Turn the age of your roof, heating and cooling, water heater and more into a monthly amount to set aside.

A placeholder, not a bid.

A placeholder, not a bid.
Flooring

A placeholder, not a bid.

This is an estimate for planning. It is not a quote, an appraisal, a loan offer, or tax or legal advice, and Rudy is a real estate agent, not a lender or tax professional.

Where the lifespans come from

The typical lives are taken from InterNACHI's published life-expectancy chart for home components, which assumes regular maintenance. Climate, installation quality and use change them, so a home inspection and local contractors give the real picture for your house.
