Your home, explained and on record

A first look at Merit for iPhone, coming soon to the App Store.

See what wears out first

Merit points out the parts of a home that most often need repair, and how long each one usually lasts.

Know what’s due before it breaks

Merit predicts upkeep from each item’s age and its service history.

A history nobody can quietly change

Every entry is sealed the moment it’s added, and receipts back up the work.

Ask about your home

Find out what maintenance is coming up, or how long the big things in your home usually last.

Based on typical lifespans from the InterNACHI life expectancy chart. General guidance, not a substitute for a professional inspection.

Owning property is easier with a record

When was the roof done? Who serviced the furnace? Where’s the warranty? The answers usually live in a drawer, an old inbox, or the last owner’s head. Merit keeps them in one place that stays with the property.

It starts in a minute

Enter your address and you’re in. Add the big things first: the roof, the furnace, the water heater.

It keeps you ahead

Upkeep predictions based on the equipment you actually have, and a heads-up when something is getting old.

It proves your care

A sealed history you can export and hand to a buyer, an inspector or a contractor when it counts.

Why we built Merit

A note from the founders

“Buildings don’t come with a memory. Every owner inherits a property full of questions: how old is the roof, who fixed that leak, what’s behind that wall. Merit gives every home and building one honest record that stays with it. It’s a small idea. We think it changes what it feels like to own property.”
Matt & Philip · Founders of Merit, New York
