Step 1 of 5 Project basics

Project basics

Start with the simple facts. Rough answers are okay.

Example: basement bathroom, front porch repair, kitchen update.
You can keep this general for now if you are not ready to share a full address.

Optional project note

Skip this if StepCheck already captured your goal. Add a short note only if it helps explain scope.

What you already know

You do not need everything. This just collects the pieces you already have.

Do you already have any of these?
Only include what you know. It is okay to leave this blank.
Photo and document uploads are not active yet.

For now, keep photos, notes, quotes, and documents in one folder on your device.

This page will still help you track what to collect before you speak with a pro.

Help and next steps

This is about the kind of support that may help, not locking you into anything.

Anything else about feeling ready? (optional)
A quick note: This can help you get organized and understand what may matter. It does not approve work, replace professional advice, or make municipal decisions.

Pro handoff report

Your resident-to-pro handoff: what we learned from StepCheck and your notes, what to check with the city, and what to do before contacting a pro.
