HomeFriction: Home Maintenance

HomeFriction helps homeowners, tenants, landlords, property managers, buyers, sellers, renovators, and cleaning professionals understand where a property may create recurring cleaning and maintenance effort.

Build a room-by-room property audit, review friction scores, identify the factors driving those scores, and compare possible changes before making decisions. HomeFriction is designed as a practical home maintenance and property analysis tool, not as a building inspection or repair diagnosis service.

PROPERTY EFFORT ANALYSIS

Create a property profile and add rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, offices, garages, balconies, and storage areas. Describe relevant characteristics including surface materials, grout, glass coverage, fixtures, access difficulty, traffic, moisture, dirt exposure, and other room conditions.

HomeFriction calculates five explainable categories:
• Cleaning Burden
• Maintenance Burden
• Access Difficulty
• Surface Complexity
• Environmental Exposure

These category scores combine into an overall Property Friction Score from 0 to 100. Results are based on the information you enter and use transparent, rule-based calculations.

ROOM-BY-ROOM FRICTION SCORES

See which rooms may demand more recurring effort. Ranked room results make it easier to identify friction hotspots such as a grout-heavy bathroom, high-traffic entrance, detailed kitchen, or hard-to-reach space.

WHY THIS SCORE?

Open detailed explanations for each result. HomeFriction highlights the strongest contributors, lower-friction strengths, and the property characteristics influencing each category instead of showing an unexplained number.

SCENARIO LAB

Test potential changes without altering your baseline property. Compare different surface choices, storage setups, glass coverage, fixture complexity, access conditions, and other supported room characteristics.

See estimated score differences between your current setup and a saved scenario. This can be useful when planning renovations, simplifying a room, or comparing lower-maintenance alternatives.

PROPERTY & SCENARIO COMPARISON

Compare saved properties or baseline and alternative scenarios across overall friction, cleaning, maintenance, access, surface complexity, and environmental exposure.

SAVED AUDITS & HISTORY

Keep multiple property audits on your device, search and sort saved properties, revisit room results, and review local score history after meaningful changes.

DESIGNED FOR PRACTICAL PROPERTY PLANNING

HomeFriction can support:
• home maintenance planning
• property upkeep analysis
• room cleaning effort assessment
• landlord and tenant property preparation
• renovation option comparison
• low-maintenance home planning
• property handover preparation

HomeFriction provides planning estimates based on user-entered property characteristics. It is not a building inspection, engineering assessment, maintenance diagnosis, repair estimate, or professional property report.
