Our story
Built by people who got the keys and a handshake.
When we got the keys to our first house, we got a 60-page inspection report and a handshake. Nobody to ask which findings mattered, what repairs should cost, or when a noise was worth worrying about.
So we did what most people do. We read the report a few times, tried to work out what was worth fixing and what wasn’t, and eventually did nothing. We waited for things to break instead of getting ahead of them.
Maintenance was the same guessing game. We had no idea which chores were busywork and which ones actually kept the house cheaper to own. Sometimes we got it right. Sometimes the surprise came later: the fence we didn’t repaint at the first signs it needed it, the roof we let grow moss because nobody told us to keep it off in the first place. We know now: a $30 bag of moss treatment each fall, or someone on the roof with a pressure washer and shingles that may not survive it.
Then the first serious problem hit: termites, in our West Seattle house. We had no idea how bad it was, and it scared us. When the first pest control estimate came in, we had nobody to ask whether it was fair, too high, or missing something. So we went with it, because we didn’t know what else to do. We know now we were badly overcharged.
Every homeowner we know has felt that same alone-with-it feeling.
Viorly is the person we wished we could call. It tells you what to fix first and what can wait. It knows which chores actually keep a house cheaper to own and which are busywork. And when an estimate lands, it tells you whether the price is fair before you say yes. We use it on our own home every week: the estimates, the insurance coverage, the reminders for what’s actually due.
We’re so glad you found us. We believe Viorly will help you care for your home the way it helps us care for ours. We work on it every day, for ourselves and for the people who use it, and we’d love for you to try it. If something goes wrong, or you can see what we should add or improve, tell us. Let’s make this easier for every homeowner who comes after us.
