Everything a house quietly needs
One skill, six jobs. Claude picks the right one from what you ask.
A maintenance calendar
Month by month, for your climate and your systems. No gutter jobs for a condo, no furnace jobs without a furnace.
DIY or call a pro
A one-line verdict first, with hard safety stops for gas, electrical, structural and water.
Step-by-step repairs
Running toilets, clogs, drywall, caulk, sticking doors and more, with the safety step first.
Project scoping
Options at three budgets, permits you'll likely need, and the order trades come in.
Quote comparison
Line up contractor quotes on scope, warranty, payment schedule and insurance, and spot red flags.
A home log
What was done, when, by whom, what it cost, model numbers and when it's due again.
Ask it like you'd ask your handy neighbour
It gives you the verdict first, then what's likely going on and how to fix it safely.
Verdict: DIY, beginner, about 20 minutes and under $15
That's a "phantom flush": water is slowly leaking from the tank into the bowl, and the fill valve tops it up. It's almost always the flapper.
Confirm it
Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Don't flush. If color shows up in the bowl within 15 minutes, the flapper is leaking.
Fix it
- Turn the supply valve behind the toilet clockwise to shut it off, then flush to empty the tank.
- Unhook the old flapper and take it to the hardware store to match the size (2 in or 3 in).
- Clip on the new one, adjust the chain so it has about 1/2 in of slack, turn the water back on.
Call a plumber if it still runs with a new flapper and the water level sits below the overflow tube: the flush valve seat may be cracked.
Safety first, every time
Some jobs are never DIY. Fix List says so plainly, even if you're handy.
- Hard stopsGas smells, CO alarms, sparking outlets, active leaks and structural cracks get a clear stop-and-call.
- Breaker off, then testEvery electrical step starts with the breaker off and a non-contact tester.
- Permits matterIt flags work that likely needs a permit in your area, because that protects insurance and resale.
- Older homesBuilt before 1978 or 1990? It flags lead and asbestos risks before you sand or scrape.

Questions
I rent. Is it still useful?
Yes. Tell it you rent and it splits jobs into what's yours (filters, alarms, drains) and what to report to your landlord, and helps you write the request.
Can I send photos?
Yes. Send Claude a photo of the crack, leak or part and it will use it in the triage. For anything in the hard-stop list, it will still tell you to call a pro.
Does it know prices where I live?
It gives rough cost ranges and says they vary by region. For real numbers, it helps you get and compare written quotes.
Will it remember my house?
It writes a short home profile you can paste into a Claude Project, so every chat starts with your systems and history.
What do I need to use it?
A Claude account on any plan, including the free one, with code execution turned on (Settings, Capabilities). Free accounts have lower usage limits, so long planning sessions go further on a paid plan. It works in Claude on the web, the desktop app and Claude Code.
What if it doesn't work for me?
