About RenoMe

Built by someone who has done the work

RenoMe's founder has spent more than 20 years in New York City construction as a carpenter. He built the app he wished both sides had.

The story

I'm Martín Gutierrez Beheran. I've been a carpenter in New York City construction for more than 20 years, working for other companies on other people's jobs.

A customer's father once recommended me for a job. Between the drive and walking the job, it took about two hours. We had a good talk, and twice he said, "Let's see how much it costs."

That night I ran the numbers at home. I had a gap between jobs coming, so I cut a big chunk off a fair price. He still said it was too expensive.

Two hours and a night of quoting, for nothing, and the signs were there the whole time.

Homeowners have it just as bad. One form turns into calls from strangers at all hours, the same explanation over and over, and site visits with people they knew within a minute they'd never hire.

So I built RenoMe. Homeowners show the job on a live video call and get a real number. Contractors never pay for a list of names. And nobody loses a morning to find out it was never going to work.

How it was built

Martín built RenoMe himself, directing AI coding tools from his phone on the commute and at lunch, and from his computer at night and on weekends, on top of his day job as a carpenter.

He also spent about a year as a real estate agent, and saw how much a real renovation number helps when a listing has a dated kitchen.

What we believe

Face to face first.

You should see who's coming before they come in.

One at a time.

Nobody should get eight calls for one project.

Nobody buys your number.

Contractors pay for a conversation that happens, not for a list of names.

Only what's true.

No reviews we didn't earn, no numbers we can't show.
