Frequently Asked Question

We're here to answer all your questions

How does the MEINHAUS online quote process work?

Getting started is simple. Fill out the quote form on our website or use the MEINHAUS customer app with your name, contact details, project address, and a quick description of the work you need done. For the best estimate, add photos of the work area, measurements, material preferences, and any important project details. The more we know, the more accurately we can tailor your quote.

How is my renovation price calculated?

First, MEINHAUS works to clearly understand the full scope of work — what needs to be done, where the work is happening, what materials are required, and any project details that may affect cost. From there, our proprietary AI tools and material supplier network help price material and delivery expenses in real time. Then, using our industry knowledge, project data, and cloud-based pricing systems, we estimate the labour required through our registered pros.

Will I speak with a real person before approving the work?

Yes — whenever you need to. MEINHAUS is built to fit the way you prefer to communicate, whether that is through the app, by text, over the phone, or on a video call. Real MEINHAUS support is available to help answer questions, clarify details, and guide the project forward.

Who manages my project once it starts?

MEINHAUS manages your project as a team, supported by our system of record, AI-assisted tools, industry experts, and live customer support. Our platform helps streamline the details, track project information, and keep communication organized from start to finish.

Is MEINHAUS a construction company or a contractor matching service?

Neither exactly. MEINHAUS is the operating system for your renovation. Homeowners hire MEINHAUS directly, and we handle the renovation process from pricing to execution. We are not a lead site that simply passes you to contractors. MEINHAUS operates the renovation from start to finish.

Who performs the renovation work?

MEINHAUS projects are completed by registered professionals who join our system through the MEINHAUS ProApp. Before being approved, professionals are reviewed based on identity, credentials, previous project success, and other trust factors collected through our ProScore system.

How does payment protection work?

MEINHAUS gives homeowners a safer, more organized way to pay for renovation work. Payments are made online, tied to your approved project scope, and tracked through the MEINHAUS system. Your deposit and project payments are managed through MEINHAUS, with funds released according to the project requirements, work progress, and completion status.

What does the Done-Right Guarantee cover?

The Done-Right Guarantee means MEINHAUS stands behind the work we price, manage, and deliver. Any issue directly related to workmanship will be reviewed and corrected to the intention of the original approved scope of work at no cost, with no expiry.

What if I want to change the scope or something unexpected comes up?

Renovation projects can evolve, and MEINHAUS is here to help you make changes clearly and confidently. If you want to add, remove, or adjust part of the project, our team will review the request, explain the impact, and provide updated pricing before any major changes move forward.

Does MEINHAUS handle permits, inspections, and project requirements?

MEINHAUS can coordinate third-party requirements when they are part of the approved project scope. This may include permits, inspections, material deliveries, technical reports, drawings, engineering, or other services needed to complete the work properly.
