How HouseGnosis works

Clarity before commitment.

01 / SHARE

Show us the project

Describe the project and upload photos, quotes or estimates you already have.

02 / COMPARE

Understand what you're being offered

Organize scope, products, price, warranty and important exclusions so proposals are easier to compare.

03 / MOVE FORWARD

Know what to ask next

Get a practical question list and clearer next steps before choosing a contractor or product.

Estimate comparison

Compare more than the bottom-line price.

Two estimates can look similar while including very different products, labor, warranties and exclusions.
