Essentify - CARFAX for your home — every repair, documented

Home maintenance is reactive, undocumented, and forgotten. Essentify gives every property a permanent, verifiable service record. Scan the QR code on any appliance and see its full history. Log a repair in seconds — cost, receipt, photo. See what each property actually costs to run, and hand the next owner proof it was cared for. Preventive maintenance costs ~4.8x less than reactive. Free to start.

Contractor by day, SaaS founder by night. Launching here August 4

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Kevin. Contractor by day, developer by night. I run a construction business in Chicago, and after years of watching homeowners lose track of every repair, receipt, and upgrade, I decided to fix it myself. So I'm building Essentify: the complete history of your home. Think CARFAX, but for houses. Launching here August 4. Solo founder. No funding. Self-taught. Built the whole thing after work hours. I've been lurking and upvoting for a while, figured it was time to say hi. Happy to talk construction, SaaS, or how to build a product while running a completely different business during the day. What are you all working on?
