Warranty and home maintenance guide

Know what your builder covers before the clock runs out.

Photograph your builder's warranty guide once. Home Pulse reads it, explains each category in plain language, tells you whether a defect is likely covered, and builds the report you send to claim it.

In beta on iPhone. Guidance only, not legal advice.

How it works

From a paper booklet to a filed claim.

Three steps, and the first one only happens once.

01

Photograph your guide

Snap the pages of your builder's warranty booklet. Home Pulse reads them once and keeps the result on your phone.

02

Ask about a problem

Pick a category, describe the issue, and attach a photo. You get a verdict of likely covered, likely not covered, or unclear, with the reasoning.

03

Log it and send the report

Add the issue to your tracker in one tap. Share a clean report with the item, the photo and the warranty dates.

What's inside

Built around how warranty claims actually go.

Most claims fail on paperwork and timing, so that's what the app helps with.

Eight coverage categories

Structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, exterior, windows and doors, appliances and landscaping, each with what's typically covered and what isn't.

Ask a question, get a verdict

Describe a defect and attach a photo. The answer comes from your own guide when you've uploaded one.

Reads your builder's guide

Coverage periods, tolerances and notice rules come from your actual booklet, not a generic template.

Scan labels and receipts

Photograph an appliance nameplate and the name, brand, model, serial number and dates are filled in for you.

Tracker with expiry dates

Keep every item, warranty end date, issue and photo in one place, so nothing lapses unnoticed.

Claim-ready report

Everything you flagged, with dates and details, formatted to send to your builder.

Why timing matters

Different parts of the house expire at different times.

Many builders use a tiered structure like the one below. Yours may differ, which is why the guide matters.

1 yearWorkmanship and materials: drywall, paint, doors, trim and most finishes.
2 yearsMechanical systems: plumbing, electrical and HVAC distribution.
10 yearsMajor structural defects: foundation, framing and load-bearing walls.

A common structure, not a promise about your home. Notice deadlines are often short, sometimes 30 days from discovery, so log a problem as soon as you see it.

Questions

Before you download.

Is this legal advice?

No. Home Pulse gives guidance based on your guide and common practice. Your builder's written warranty and your contract decide what is covered, so always confirm with your builder.

Does it work without my builder's guide?

Yes. Without a guide it shows typical coverage for each category and labels it as generic. Upload your guide and the answers come from your builder's actual terms.

How accurate is the AI?

It can misread a page or miss a detail, especially in a poor photo. It is meant to point you in the right direction and to help you prepare, not to replace reading the guide.

Where is my information stored?

Your items, photos and guide pages stay on your phone. When you ask a question, scan a label or upload a guide, the text or images you chose are sent to a server to be analyzed by AI. The privacy policy has the details.

Which phones does it run on?

Home Pulse is in beta on iPhone. Write to us if you'd like to join.

Don't find out in month thirteen.

Join the beta and check your warranty while there's still time to use it.
