Home Improvement Planner

Every home project starts with the same two questions: what do I need, and what will it cost? Home Improvement Planner answers both before you set foot in a store. Pick a project type and get an itemized list of the materials it takes, how much of each, and what they typically cost — plus the tools you'll want on hand before you start. TEN PROJECT TYPES - Flooring - Painting - Kitchen Renovation - Bathroom Remodel - Deck Building - Roofing - Drywall - Tile Work - Landscaping - Plumbing Repair WHAT YOU GET - Itemized materials with quantities and cost estimates for a typical project - A tool checklist for each job, so there are no mid-project runs to the hardware store - Save and manage multiple projects in one place - A running view of what each project involves, from planning to shopping list BUILT FOR PEOPLE DOING THE WORK Whether you're weighing hardwood against laminate, budgeting a bathroom before calling a contractor, or just want to know if a deck is a this-summer project or a next-summer project, the numbers are there in a few taps. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. No selling your information. Your account holds your email and the projects you create — nothing else. You can permanently delete your account and all of its data at any time from Settings, right inside the app. ABOUT THE ESTIMATES Costs are based on 2026 national averages for materials and are intended for planning and budgeting. Actual prices vary by region, store, brand, and project size. Always confirm current pricing with your local supplier before purchasing. HOME IMPROVEMENT PRO (optional upgrade) Unlimited saved projects, estimates scaled to your ZIP code, budget tracking against your estimate, your own supplier prices, and PDF export. - Monthly $5.99 - 6 months $29.99 - Yearly $54.99 - Lifetime, one time $79.99 Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period.
