How it works

Get the work done, the easy way

Find your home, see what it is likely due for, and send your list to a local contractor for a quote. Your home's record is built and kept for you along the way.
Cook County
Four steps

From "what do I need?" to quotes

1. Find your home

Search Cook County and open your address. It already has a record.

2. Build your list

We suggest what is likely coming up from your home's age and history. Add your own too.

3. Get quotes

Send your list and we pass it to a local contractor for that trade. They contact you. No cost, no obligation.

4. Your record, kept

Everything is saved to your home so you can claim and manage it anytime.

Common questions

Questions homeowners ask

Is ChiHomework free?

Yes. Finding your home, seeing what it is likely due for, and requesting quotes are all free for homeowners.

How do you know what my home needs?

We build a record for every home in Cook County from county records and permits, then flag likely upcoming projects based on your home's age and history, like the roof, the windows, and the water heater.

What happens after I send my list?

We pass your list, name, contact details and home address to a local contractor for that trade. They contact you to talk through the work and give you a quote. It costs you nothing and you are never obligated. As with any contractor, confirm their license before you hire.

Do I have to claim my home to get quotes?

No. You can request quotes right away. Claiming your home lets you confirm the record, correct anything, and keep it up to date over time.

How do you verify that I own my home?

When you claim your home, we check your name against the county's owner of record. It's a best-effort check, and we can reverse a claim made in error.

Which areas does ChiHomework cover?

Every home in Cook County.

Keep the record

Every repair, upgrade, and service in one place

Right now it is probably in your head, or a shoebox of receipts. When was the brick last tuckpointed? Is the roof still under warranty? Who redid the water heater? ChiHomework keeps every repair and upgrade in one place, so you always know what has been done and what is coming up. And when you sell, that history becomes proof for the next owner, the way a full service record sells a car.

Know what's been done

Every repair, upgrade, and service, with the date and who did it. No more guessing or digging through old email.

Never miss what's next

See when the roof, windows, or water heater is getting close, before it fails.

Proof when you sell

A documented home reassures buyers and can help it sell faster.
