How Renno works
How a renovation should run.
Walk through one project on Renno, from agreement to payout. See where the money sits, what's been agreed, and what's happening on site. Visible to both sides, every step.
Set the rules of the build
The contractor maps out the project and breaks it into payment stages. Each stage spells out the work, the timeline, the cost, and what's included or not. Nothing is locked in yet. The contractor and homeowner shape the agreement together before any work begins.

The homeowner reads through the plan, asks questions, and requests changes before signing off. Every stage shows what's included, what it costs, and when it's expected. Once both sides agree, the signed plan is what the project runs on.
Fund the project. Stay in control.
The homeowner moves the full project budget into the Renno Wallet, a regulated, protected account. The money stays there until the homeowner approves each stage. The contractor knows the budget is real and committed. The homeowner controls every release.
What is renovation escrow? →Get to work
The contractor does the work on site. Progress, photos, and material costs go into the project as the stage runs. One place. On the phone, on site. When a stage is finished, the contractor submits it with the evidence already attached.
Watch it happen
The homeowner stays in the loop without chasing. Progress, photos, and costs land in the project as the work happens. At the end of each stage, the homeowner has seven days to approve. If the contractor and homeowner can't reach an agreement, Renno steps in with dispute resolution. The money stays protected the whole way.
Stay in the conversation
Every message between the contractor and the homeowner lives in the project chat. Photos, voice notes, scheduling questions, all tied to the stage they're about. No texts that get lost, no email threads. Both sides looking at the same thread.
When the plan changes
The first plan is never the final plan. A pipe needs replacing, a wall has a surprise behind it. Every change order goes through Renno. The contractor writes it up and prices it, the homeowner approves it before any extra work happens. Nothing on a handshake.

Once the homeowner approves a stage, the Renno Wallet releases the funds straight to the contractor's account. Instantly. Cash flow follows the work. The contractor sees every payout before the stage starts, and the money lands the moment the homeowner signs off.
