Rafter is an intelligent home management membership that monitors your home around the clock, helps you avoid costly repairs, and coordinates maintenance on your behalf. Rather than reacting to problems after they happen, Rafter is designed to catch issues early — before they become expensive emergencies — and handle everything from finding a vetted contractor to scheduling and logging the work. Members save an average of $847 in year one.

Rafter operates in three steps. First, it detects issues before you do — using a combination of a physical sensor, hazard databases, recall registries, weather alerts, and your home's risk profile, all monitored 24/7/365. When something is flagged, you receive a plain-English text message explaining the situation.

Second, if you want to act on it, you simply reply "yes" and Rafter's Home Advisors get to work finding vetted, fairly-priced contractors. Options are typically sent back to you within hours.

Third, you pick an option, Rafter books it, confirms it, and logs the completed work in your home record. You don't have to chase anyone down or make a single phone call.

Home Health Monitoring Sensor — Included with membership. Detects water leaks, temperature changes, and humidity — the three most common causes of costly, preventable home damage. The sensor is shipped free.

Home Record — Automatically built from your address. A digital home for all your appliance info, maintenance schedules, service records, and history, all in one place.

Seasonal Care Calendar — Prioritized maintenance reminders tailored specifically to your home, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Home Advisors (24/7 by text) — A team combining AI and real humans with 10+ years of hands-on home experience. Available anytime by text, they manage your care calendar, find vetted contractors, and coordinate the work. You approve. They execute. They never take kickbacks from contractors — Rafter makes money from memberships only.

Contractor Coordination — Rafter finds, vets, and schedules contractors for you. Every contractor is licensed and insured, background checked, holds a 4.8+ rating, and is required to be transparent about pricing. If the first contractor doesn't work out, Rafter finds another at no charge.

Hazard & Recall Monitoring — 24/7 automatic monitoring of hazard databases, recall registries, and weather events tied to your specific home.

Member-Only Discounts — Exclusive pricing on home products, services, appliances, smart home devices, contractors, and seasonal maintenance.

Rafter saves members money in three primary ways. Early detection means catching a slow leak costs $150–$400 to fix versus $8,000–$20,000 in remediation after damage spreads. Maintenance timing means servicing an HVAC before it fails is 5–10x cheaper than emergency replacement. And insurance credits mean members who document preventive maintenance often qualify for 5–15% premium discounts with participating carriers. The average member saves $847 in year one, with a range of $200 to $1,800+ depending on home age and findings.

A typical savings breakdown looks like this: $200 in insurance discounts, $327 in contractor savings, $240 in avoided service calls, and $80 in maintenance parts — totaling $847 on average.

Rafter has helped members in a wide range of situations: catching a humidity spike that signaled a leak before it caused $15,000+ in water damage; sending a pipe insulation reminder two weeks before the first freeze to prevent burst pipes; flagging a 16-year-old roof before it needed a full replacement; matching a home's HVAC model to an active recall registry and alerting the owner before any damage occurred (with the manufacturer covering the repair); and automatically generating a storm prep checklist 48 hours before a hurricane watch. Members who have recently moved in can share their inspection report with Rafter, and it will prioritize items, book contractors, and get everything scheduled within a week.

Rafter is currently offering introductory pricing of $1 for the first 3 months (introductory pricing ends April 16). The first sensor is included and ships free. After the introductory period, membership continues at $99/year. There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime; if you cancel, you keep the sensor. Introductory pricing is locked in for life for founding members.

Savings Guarantee: If Rafter doesn't save you more than the cost of membership in your first year, Rafter will refund the difference — no questions asked.

What does the sensor detect? The sensor detects leaks, temperature changes, and humidity — the three most common causes of costly, preventable home damage.

How does Rafter actually save me money? Three ways: (1) Early detection — catching a slow leak early costs $150–$400 to fix vs. $8,000–$20,000 in remediation after damage sets in. (2) Maintenance timing — servicing your HVAC before it fails is 5–10x cheaper than emergency replacement. (3) Insurance credits — members who demonstrate documented preventive maintenance often qualify for 5–15% premium discounts with participating carriers. The average member saves $847 in year one.

What happens after 3 months? Membership continues at $99/year. You can cancel anytime and keep the sensor. Introductory pricing is locked in for life for those who join during the introductory period.

How is Rafter different from a home warranty? A warranty pays out after something breaks. Rafter prevents it from breaking in the first place — then handles the follow-through.
