Receive a quote

Send a quote

See exactly what you're paying for.

Once you've agreed a price, the contractor sends a milestone-by-milestone quote – each stage priced and scoped before you commit to anything. No headline numbers, no guesswork.

You set the price. AI does the paperwork.

Describe the job, drop in your prices, and AI turns it into a professional, milestone-by-milestone quote. A clear breakdown builds customer confidence before you've lifted a tool.

Milestone breakdown
Every stage described with a price against it, so both parties know what's included.
Agree when you're ready
No pressure. Ask questions, take your time, agree when it feels right.

Agree & start

Accept the quote. The agreement forms.

When you accept a quote, the shared job agreement is created. Scope, price and milestones are in one place. Both parties on the same page, everything on the record.

Quote accepted. Job agreed.

The customer accepts your quote and the agreement is formed — a timestamped record of exactly what was agreed and what it costs. If anything's ever questioned, you've got it in writing.

Track & agree changes

Nothing extra starts without your say.

As each milestone is completed, the tradesperson submits photos and notes for your sign-off. If extra work comes up, they propose a new milestone with the cost agreed before it starts. No surprise bills, no "I thought that was included."

Extras agreed before you touch the work.

Mark each milestone complete with photos and a note — the more you document, the more protected you are. If the job changes, propose a new milestone with a price — the customer signs off before you start, so payment's never in question. No more doing extra work and hoping you get paid for it.

Photo-backed sign-off
Up to 10 photos per milestone, stored with the agreement.
Change-order flow
Propose → describe → approve → proceed.

Complete & get paid

Pay by card – or however suits you.

When the work is complete, you can pay by card through Stripe – quick, and with the everyday protections that come with paying by card. Prefer cash or bank transfer? That works too. Either way, you're paying for work that's done and agreed.

Make it easy to pay. Get paid faster.

Offer optional card payments through Stripe and take the friction out of getting paid. When paying is as simple as tapping a button, customers pay sooner – no "I'll sort the bank transfer later".

Why Renofy?

Both parties are at risk

Most jobs are run on handshakes and WhatsApp, with no clear record of what was agreed.

Option A

Written contracts

Slow, expensive to draft, time-consuming to change. Rarely used for home improvement jobs under £20k.

Option B

Handshake & WhatsApp

Easy to start, impossible to prove. Messages can be ambiguous – and payment is left to chase.

Option C

Renofy

The protection of a contract, the ease of a handshake. Agree the work and handle payment – all in one timestamped record.

Common questions

Is Renofy legally binding?

Renofy produces a shared digital job agreement that both parties accept. It's not the same as a bespoke contract drafted by a solicitor, but it holds up under scrutiny. It creates a clear, timestamped record of what was agreed and what was completed, built in line with UK government standards for credible digital documents.

How much does it cost?

Renofy is free to use – no subscriptions and no per-job fees. If you choose to take payment by card through the app, Stripe charges its standard processing fee. Cash and bank transfer are free as always.

How is the work paid for?

However suits you both. Card payment through Stripe is there if you want it – quick to pay, quick to get paid – or settle up by cash or bank transfer. Always optional.

Why do both parties use it?

Both parties get clarity on what's been agreed. Tradespeople look more professional and get confidence that their customer is serious. Homeowners get confidence in the tradesperson and visibility on what's been done. Everything stays in one shared record instead of scattered across messages – and better records mean fewer disputes.

Do I need to find a tradesperson through Renofy?

No. Create your job spec once, then share the link wherever you're already looking – Facebook groups, WhatsApp, word of mouth, wherever. Any tradesperson you invite can view the full spec and quote through Renofy. One clear spec, no repeating yourself, no explaining the job from scratch every time.

What if extra work comes up mid-job?

That's what the change-order flow is for. A new milestone is proposed with a description and cost, the customer approves, and the job agreement updates. No surprise bills and no awkward conversations at the end.

What if there's a dispute?

Everything agreed and done is timestamped and on record. If anything's ever questioned, you've got a clear account of what was agreed, what changed, and what was delivered – and you can share that record with anyone you need advice from: friends, Facebook groups, Reddit, a solicitor. The record speaks for itself.

Do I still send my own invoice?

You can if you want. Renofy generates one automatically from the agreed milestones so you don't have to – every line already approved, every stage already on the record.
