A few years ago, my wife and I renovated our home here in Cincinnati. New systems, an addition, new landscaping, the works. Before a single hammer swung, we spent months trying to find people we could actually trust. Calls that never got returned. Quotes that took weeks to show up, if they showed up at all. Guys who talked a good game and then didn't execute.
Even after we found a contractor we trusted, we still ended up finding some of the subcontractors ourselves and getting our own quotes, because it was our home, and we wanted it done exactly right, down to the details we cared about.
We thought once the crews left, the hard part was behind us, but it wasn't. Now that we had put all this time and money into our home, we needed a plan for regular maintenance so we could stay on top of it. We wanted to make sure we protected our investment, but it required the same vendor coordination the renovation did, with no one person or system owning the process. It was us chasing it all down, coordinating with vendors, and losing time to it.
Rookwood is the thing we wished existed. Someone who'd already done the vetting, so we weren't the ones rolling the dice on our own house. And someone who'd keep owning it after the work was done, so it never fell back on us. That's what we built.
