Yes. Actually free. Not "free for 14 days." Not "free until you hit a paywall." Free for homeowners.
Your home record is visible only to you and anyone you choose to share it with. You approve every detail before sending a job request to a contractor. Every time. No surprises. Your home, your data, fully in your control.
No. We don't sell your info to five contractors and let them fight over you (like other major home service platforms). You pick the pro. You start the conversation. You choose how to communicate (call, text, or email). We don't even share your real phone number with contractors. Did we mention that we take privacy seriously?
Not even a little. Jackknife was built by someone who has to hire other people to assemble IKEA furniture. Point your phone at the thing. We'll tell you what it is, what shape it's in, and what to do about it.
No. Jackknife was built by a homeowner who got tired of bad advice, fake reviews, and wasted weekends. Here's how it works: when you need a pro, we connect you with contractors your neighbors trust. The contractor pays for that introduction. You don't. Your data stays yours.
Nothing. We don't sell it. We don't share it unless you ask us to. We don't use it for ads. Your home data belongs to you.
No. Start with one item. Your inventory builds over time, at your pace.
Contractors pay a small fee when they accept your job request. That's it. No bidding wars. No pay-to-rank. No "boost your listing" upsells. If that sounds refreshingly simple, that's because every other platform made it complicated on purpose so they could resell the same job multiple times and squeeze every ounce of profit they can. We make money by being the company homeowners trust.
Your Jackknife record becomes one of the most valuable things you hand the buyer: a complete, documented history of everything in the home. Maintenance records, repair history, appliance ages, contractor work. Think of it as the Carfax for your house. Buyers love it. It didn't cost you a minute of extra work. And you choose exactly what gets shared.
