Home renovation advising
A consultant who coaches homeowners on planning and executing renovation projects, advising on scope, budgets, and decisions without doing the physical work.
The idea, in plain language
A consultant who coaches homeowners through renovation projects, advising on scope, budgets, sequencing and key decisions without doing the physical labor themselves. The customer's pain is not knowing what to do, what to order, or how to sequence trades on a renovation. Revenue comes from advisory fees paid by homeowners; the only number mentioned is the founder's first $1,000 milestone, with no margins or startup costs in the synopsis. The adviser draws on industry knowledge (the founder works at a home-improvement store) rather than contracting experience.
Where the sources agree
- Position around advice and decision support rather than physical renovation work.
- Use a home-improvement industry background as the credibility hook.
- Document a first $1,000 milestone without yet disclosing hourly rates or margins.
