Track Your Home Improvements.

Every improvement you make can count toward your home's cost basis — which decides the tax you owe when you sell. The hard part is remembering years later. This keeps the record as you go.

  • Log a project in a minute — date, cost, and a photo of the receipt
  • Reminders that keep the record current, year after year
  • A one-click export your tax professional can actually use

Every project, with its date and cost, adding to your adjusted basis as you go. Free on every account.

What this saves you

When you sell, your gain is measured against what the home cost you — purchase price plusthe improvements you’ve made. Every documented project can raise that number. Undocumented ones can’t.

Nothing forgotten

The roof you replaced six years ago still counts — if you can show it.

Receipts that survive

Photograph it once. It's there years later, when the shoebox isn't.

Ready at sale time

Hand your tax professional one clean summary instead of a weekend of digging.

What it looks like after a few years

Four projects, logged as they happened. This is the summary you hand over when you sell.

2021Roof replacement$18,400
2022Kitchen remodel$31,200
2023Furnace and A/C$9,800
2024Rear deck$12,600
What you paid for the home$412,000
Improvements you documented+ $72,000
Your cost basis$484,000

Illustrative figures. Your gain at sale is measured against your cost basis — so every project you can document is $72,000 of sale price that isn’t counted as profit. Without the records, it is.
