Home improvement, figured out.
Describe any home problem — or send a photo. Gable Pro diagnoses it, says whether to DIY or hire, estimates the cost, lists the materials, connects you to trusted local pros, then checks the quote they send back against its own numbers.
That's almost always a worn cartridge. In a single-handle faucet the cartridge is the valve that seals off the water — once its O-rings wear, a steady drip gets through even when the handle is closed.1
Good news: it's a cheap, common part. Here's how to decide your next move.
Something breaks. Then the real headache starts.
One home question means bouncing between search, YouTube, forums, chatbots, and contractor marketplaces — and most people can't name the right trade to call.
Wrong diagnosis
Water pooling by the washer — plumbing, the appliance, or the floor? You can't tell who to call.
Wrong scope
You need one window replaced. The big companies won't take a job that small.
Wrong trade
You call a landscaper for a paver patio. Pavers are hardscaping — they drive out just to say no.
Every other platform starts at “pick a category.” Gable Pro starts by understanding what's actually wrong.
From “what's that noise?” to fixed.
You agree the price directly with the contractor. Free for the place you live — and if you look after more than one, they're $10 a month each.

One assistant for the whole project.
Not a search box. Not a lead form. An expert that understands home improvement.
AI problem diagnosis
Ask in plain language. Gable Pro explains the issue, the risk, and the difficulty — citing the guides it answered from.
Check a contractor's quote
Upload the quote you were sent — PDF, Word, or a photo of the paper one. Gable Pro reads it, prices the same scope, and says whether it's in line, high, or oddly low.
Point your camera at it
Snap the leak, the crack, or the part you can't name. Gable Pro works out what it's looking at — a diagnosis if something's wrong, a plain-English answer if you're just curious.
Step-by-step DIY guidance
Tools, exact materials with quantities, retailer links, time, and safety warnings — nothing left to guess.
Real cost estimation
Low / average / high ranges by size, materials, home type, and location — no vague guesses. Know the fair price before you commit to a pro.
Trusted contractor matching
Vetted in-network pros first, ranked by distance and rating — with live web coverage where the network is thin.
Every quote in one place
Send a request, message the pro in the same thread, and see where each stands — sent, replied, accepted — without digging through email.
Plain-English answers to “what is that?”
Ask what a double-hung window or a P-trap is. You get a clear explanation from real sources — with a picture — not a guess.
Your whole history, kept
Every chat is saved and reopenable — diagnosis, estimate, and material list intact. Keep the answers you want, or share one with a link.
Others match you to a contractor. We solve the whole problem.
Angi, Thumbtack, and Modernize each cover one slice — usually the last one. None tell you what's wrong, whether you can fix it, what it should cost, or whether the price you were quoted is fair.
Send the brief. Then check the price.
By the time you're ready to hire, Gable Pro knows your whole project. One tap turns it into a contractor-ready brief — diagnosis, scope, budget, and timeline, written for you. When their quote comes back, upload it: the same cost engine that priced your estimate reads their document and says how the two compare.
- No re-explaining your problem on every call
- Pros get a fully-scoped lead, so their first reply is a real quote
- Their number placed against ours — in line, high, or oddly low
- Every request tracked in one place, with a thread to the pro
Project: Dripping single-handle kitchen faucet, leaks when closed.
Likely cause: Worn valve cartridge / O-rings.
Budget: ~$120–190 · Timing: This week.
Cartridge swap, one hour of labor — priced about where this job normally lands in your area.
One house or forty, one account.
Managing agents and landlords were doing this the hard way — sharing a password, or splitting the portfolio across accounts that couldn't see each other. Now the company holds the properties, the quotes and the bill, and your team each sign in as themselves.
One book, everyone's
Every property the company looks after in one place — not split across whoever happened to create the account.
A login each
Invite your coordinators. No shared password, and access ends the day somebody leaves.
Who can do what
A coordinator sends quotes; a viewer only reads them. Roles are a starting point — permissions are set per person.
One bill
Billed on properties, not people. The first is free, then $10 a month each — and every extra login is free.
And the assistant reaches every screen, so “which of these has a quote out?” and “did that contractor ever get back to us?” are questions you ask rather than pages you go and check.
Tenants reporting a problem themselves · a spend limit that approves the small jobs for you — the two we hear about most, and neither is built.
The pros here run on Gable Pro too.
A good contractor takes three days to call back not because they don't want the job, but because they were under a sink. So we built the software that runs their office — and you feel it as a faster, straighter answer on your side.
Writes the estimate
An itemized quote off their own prices rather than a number from memory — and you approve or decline it on your own page.
Books the visit
Booked against their real calendar and their crew's actual hours — no phone tag to find a slot that works.
Sends the invoice
A digital invoice when the job's done, payable by card once they've set up payouts — and a deposit up front on bigger work.
Keeps the job straight
What you described, what you were quoted, who's coming and what's been paid — one record, so nothing gets asked twice.
Answers the phone · Works the inbox — the last two pieces, not finished yet.
Gable Pro is free for the place you live. If you run a trade business, that software has its own door — and for a one-person shop it costs nothing.
