Insights From Our Home Maintenance Survey

November 16, 2025
Ask any homeowner when they last changed their furnace filter or drained the hot-water tank and watch the hesitation.
Not because they don’t care.
Because life got busy.
Our early feedback from homeowners says it all:
Nearly 8 in 10 aren’t tracking their home maintenance at all.
And the few who try? They’re juggling scattered alerts, old spreadsheets, and mental notes scribbled on sticky pads.
It’s not neglect, it’s overload.
Owning a home is already complex enough. The last thing people need is another to-do list that lives in five different places.
But here’s the exciting part: homeowners are ready for something smarter.
Two-thirds want automatic seasonal reminders that just appear - no setup required.
73% want clear DIY guidance built right in, not buried in YouTube tabs.
82% want trusted contractor suggestions when it’s time to call a pro.
And it doesn’t stop there.
People don’t just want help doing the work, they want clarity and confidence in managing it.
82% said they want all contractor messages and invoices stored in one place.
88% want digital records of every repair and upgrade, so financial planning and taxes become effortless instead of painful.
That’s the blueprint shaping RUBO.
A home that takes care of itself or at least feels like it does.
Because peace of mind isn’t built from checklists.
It’s built from clarity, trust, and a system that quietly keeps everything in order for you.
