What Did That Contractor Even Do? Why You Need to Track Every Repair and Upgrade

You Paid the Invoice… But What Actually Got Done?

If you've ever paid a contractor and later thought,
“Wait, when was that fixed? What did we even have them do?” — you’re not alone.

Homeowners spend thousands every year on improvements, repairs, and quick fixes. But without a system to track it all, that investment disappears into vague memory, lost receipts, and unanswered questions.

And that’s a problem — especially when it’s time to:

  • File an insurance claim

  • Validate a warranty

  • Sell your home

  • Prevent the same issue from happening again

🔍 Why Tracking Repairs and Projects Matters

Here’s what gets lost when you don’t log your home’s history:

  1. Receipts + Invoices
    No proof = no warranty support. And good luck remembering what that $1,400 charge in May was for two years from now.

  2. Before + After Photos
    These can make or break resale negotiations and protect you from disputes.

  3. Service Details
    Was it a repair or a full replacement? Was the issue fixed or patched? If you didn’t write it down, you’re guessing.

  4. Warranties
    Some labor warranties are only honored with documentation — and knowing who did the work and when.
