For residential remodelers
Turn every “while you're already here” request into an approved scope change before your crew starts.
Remodels are where scope creep lives — hidden damage, upgrade requests, one more outlet. Swornbook turns each ask into a one-tap approval link, keeps photos on the job record, and ties the final invoice to exactly what was approved.

The asks that quietly become free work
Every one of these gets agreed to verbally in a half-finished room — and questioned at the final invoice. Typical value per ask:
Hidden damage found after demo
$500–$8,000
Fixture or finish upgrade mid-job
$400–$4,000
Added electrical outlets or circuits
$300–$2,500
Plumbing relocation or addition
$800–$5,000
Added cabinetry or built-ins
$1,000–$8,000
Tile or flooring scope expansion
$600–$5,000
Ranges are illustrative — your market and scope will vary.
One job, start to paid
The homeowner asks in the torn-up kitchen
“While you're already here, could you also move that outlet and add two more?” You quote it on the spot: $850, one extra day.
You send one link before the crew touches it
One-tap templates draft the change order. The homeowner taps approve on their phone — no app, no account. The yes lands on the job record with a timestamp and a name.
The invoice carries its own proof
Final invoice shows the original contract plus each approved change, every line traced to a documented approval. When the total gets questioned, the record answers in one message.
