Maestro
by Property Butler
The household record

Every house has a history. Almost none of it is written down.

A private online record of your property — what is in it, what has been done to it, when each system was last serviced, and what is due next. Built and kept current by the people doing the work.

The problem

Ask four questions about your own house

When was the boiler last serviced?
And by whom, and what did they find, and is the receipt still in a drawer somewhere?
Where is the main water shutoff?
Not roughly. Exactly. At two in the morning, with water coming through a ceiling.
What did the roof cost, and when?
The warranty is only worth something if you can find it and prove the date.
What is due before winter?
Most homeowners find out in January, which is the most expensive time to find out.

None of these are hard questions. They are only hard because nobody ever wrote the answers down in one place. Every trade that has ever worked on your house took its knowledge with them when they drove away.

What Maestro is

One private page, for one house, that never resets

Fifteen categories

Roof and flashing. Foundation. Each heating system separately. Electrical. Plumbing and shutoffs. Chimneys. Every category shows what is on file, what is scheduled, and what has never been captured.

A seasonal calendar

Sealants cure above fifty degrees. Gutters wait for leaf drop but must beat the first freeze. Chimneys are inspected before the first fire. The calendar holds those dates so nobody has to remember them.

A permanent log

Every visit entered with its hours, its cost and its photographs. Entries are never deleted — a correction is a new dated entry referencing the original. That is what makes the file credible later.

The record itself

What it actually looks like

Six screens from a record that is live right now — a house in Portland, Maine, in the middle of a season of work. Not a mock-up.

No private resident information appears on this page

These are screens from the live record of a private home in Portland, Maine, shown with every identifying detail removed. No owner name. No street address. No photograph of the residence. No household telephone number, email or any other contact detail. The black bars are painted into the images themselves — the text underneath was deleted before the screens were captured, so there is nothing behind them to recover. Everything else you see is exactly as the owner sees it.

What the owner sees first

Four figures and a dated activity feed. Every entry in the feed opens the thing it refers to — the photographs, the schedule, the invoice — in one tap.

Overview — owner information redacted
Overview — Log entries authorized, categories reached, hours scheduled on site, and invested to date. The feed runs newest first — the top entry is yesterday’s work, written the day it happened. The right-hand panel is the next day on site and what the owner receives from it, written before it happens.

Forecast first. Marked against the forecast after.

This is the part that contains cost. Every day is priced and dated before it happens, and the calendar shows six states. Only one of them requires anybody to do anything.

Production schedule   September 2026 — owner information redacted
Production schedule · September 2026 — Seventeen production days in one month. August held three. Complete, in the queue, approved and scheduled, pending, adjusted, and lagging. Lagging means past its forecast date with no reason recorded — and it clears itself the moment a reason is entered. A day that moved because scope was added is Adjusted, not late.

Authorized, invoiced, paid, outstanding.

The owner sees the rate card and the arithmetic behind every figure. Nothing is rolled up. Work that has not been approved is visibly not approved and does not begin.

Authorized against invoiced — owner information redacted
Authorized against invoiced — Paid, invoiced, authorized but not yet invoiced, and authorized in total — reconciled in days, hours and dollars.

Photographs carry the entry code that produced them.

A set of photographs is not a gallery. It is a finding, and it names the work it generated. Newest day of shooting leads, so progress sits above condition.

Photographs — owner information redacted
Photographs — Each set shows what it was documented under and which entries it produced, with the state of each. Four separate sets resolving to one entry is how an owner sees why seventeen photographs of four problems is two days of work and not eight.

What was done, when, and by whom — across ownerships.

Supplied by the household and recorded as reported, not presented as our own survey. The vendor register and contact cards are derived from it, so they cannot drift.

History — owner information redacted
History — Improvements by year, separated by ownership; the dated service and invoice record; and a vendor register with contact cards. Where a company could not be positively identified, the card says so rather than guessing.

What is in the building, and what it needs next.

Every system on a schedule, with its last service and who performed it. The seasonal calendar turns that into dated work before the season arrives.

Equipment schedule — owner information redacted
Equipment schedule — Location, data, service interval, last service, and state. An item flagged for replacement stays flagged until it is replaced.
Privacy

Your record is yours

Private by default

Your record sits behind a private link only your household has. Nothing is listed publicly and nothing is indexed by search engines.

Shared on your terms

Give access to a partner, a property manager or a family office. It is never shared with other clients.

Yours to take

The record belongs to the house. If the engagement ends, or the property sells, the complete file goes with it.

Getting started

It begins with a walk-through, at no cost

We walk the property together, open the record, and enter what is already known. From there it grows with every visit. There is no charge for the walk-through and nothing is committed by having it.
