About five minutes to set up. Useful from the first day.
How a house goes into FullYear, what it does from there, and the rules it never breaks.
Four steps, and you can skip two of them.
Everything else gets asked for later, when there’s a reason to ask.
Sign in with Apple or Google
One tap. Nothing new to remember, and nothing to type on a phone keyboard while you stand in the driveway.
Type your address
FullYear looks the house up and shows it back to you: the lot, the storeys, the driveway, roughly how much lawn. Fix anything it got wrong.
Add one crew
Who cuts your grass? Pick them from your contacts, take a photo of the list on the fridge, or type them in. One is enough to start.
Turn on notifications
You see an example of each kind first, so you know what you’re agreeing to hear about. Then you’re in, and the Home screen already has something real on it.
Skip the crew or the notifications and nothing breaks. A home with one crew in it still works, and so does a home with none yet.
Then the house builds its own file.
The record is the part that adds up over the years. It’s free on every plan, because the history of your own house shouldn’t sit behind a paywall.
Every visit, on record
Log a visit in a couple of taps or, on Autopilot, let a crew’s confirmation put it there. Date, service, crew and photos, and “last done” for every service worked out from them.
Invoices and documents
Photograph an invoice, a quote, a receipt or a warranty. It’s filed by crew, kind and year, and attached to the visit it belongs to. Nothing you upload is ever shown to a crew.
Past crews keep their history
Change companies and the old one moves to past crews, with every visit and invoice still there.
What’s due soon
A seasonal schedule for your house, from what it has and Ottawa’s seasons: spring gutters in April, mowing from early May, snow from November.
Weather and garbage day
Forecast lines that change what you do this week, like the first frost before a pool closing, and garbage, green bin and recycling day for your address.
Ask about your house
“Pull up last fall’s gutter invoice.” The assistant answers in plain words, from your own record.
Your systems
Furnace, water heater, AC, sump pump and the age of the roof. Take a photo of an appliance’s label and the model is read for you. The manual, the warranty date and the service history sit with it.
Filters, warranties and recalls
Filter and maintenance reminders for the equipment you actually own, a warranty clock for what’s still covered and when it runs out, and an alert if something you registered is recalled.
Cost per service, year over year
What the snow cost this winter against last, worked out only from the invoices you filed.
Two ways to get hold of a crew. You pick.
By hand, on every plan
One tap opens your phone’s own Messages app with the crew’s number and a message already written. You press send. FullYear sends nothing.
FullYear does the asking, on Autopilot
For each crew you say how often and roughly when, in plain words: every couple of weeks through the summer, mornings if possible. A few weeks before something is due, earlier for the companies that book up early, FullYear texts and emails the company, naming you and your address.
The crew opens a one-screen link to confirm a day, suggest another or say not this year, or just replies with a day. Either way it lands on your calendar.
- Day 0
The request
Who it’s for, the address, the job and your window.
- Day 2
One nudge, by text
Only if nobody has answered.
- Day 4
One email
One more try, by email.
- Day 5
Back to you
Call them, text them yourself, or find someone else. A late reply still books.
Route days
When one crew serves several FullYear homes on a street, it can set one day and every home there is offered it. You can still say no.
A call when texts don’t land
FullYear phones the crew, says right away who it’s calling for, and puts the transcript in the thread. A few times a season at most.
Every message FullYear sends says who it’s from and who it’s for, and carries a way to stop. Reply STOP and it stops.
When you need someone new, you make the first move.
FullYear shows you companies. It never shows them you.
One-off jobs
Need a handyman, an electrician, or someone for a job that comes up once? Say what it is and see which companies do that work in your area, from FullYear’s own directory of Ottawa companies. You message the ones you pick, from your own phone. There is no paid version.
Other companies near me
A switch on each crew. Turn it on to see three other local companies that do the same work. They come from public listings, they aren’t ranked, nothing about them is kept, and FullYear says on the screen that it hasn’t checked them.
Licence registration, where it exists
Heating and gas companies show their TSSA registration, electricians their ESA registration, from the public registers and with the date it was checked. Trades with no public register show nothing, and nothing is implied.
Emergency
A pipe bursts at eleven at night. One button: your own crew for that job first, then companies listed as open at that hour. You make the call.
For the family, the next owner, and the house across town.
Share the record
A read-only link for family, a buyer or an insurer. It never shows access notes, such as a gate code, or phone numbers. Documents stay hidden unless you turn them on, and you can switch off any link at any time.
Up to three homes
Your place, a parent’s place, the cottage. Each with its own crews, calendar and record, and one screen that tells you which needs you. More homes can be added.
Household roles
A partner, an adult child, a parent. Each gets a level: sees everything, can approve dates, or just gets told.
The home report
A named report of the house for a buyer, an agent, a lender or an insurer: every service, when it was last done and by whom, the systems and their ages. It reports what’s in the record and shows gaps as gaps.
Selling the house
Hand the whole record to the buyer. Your crews hear nothing until the new owner sets their own windows.
For crews, nothing at all
No app, no account and no fee. A crew’s whole side of FullYear is one link, and it costs them nothing, ever.
What FullYear always does, and never does.
These are written into how the product is built. They aren’t settings.
- Your number stays yours.It never goes to a company you didn’t pick.
- Nothing goes out behind your back.FullYear never contacts one of your crews without telling you.
- You make first contact.With a company you’ve never used, the first message is yours, sent from your own phone.
- It stays quiet.Four kinds of notification, and never more than one a day unless something is actually wrong.
- Your uploads stay private.Nothing you upload is ever shown to a crew.
- Nobody pays to appear.FullYear never ranks or recommends companies, and never takes money from a company to appear anywhere.
- Prices stay between you and your crew.FullYear never sets what a crew charges, and never takes a cut of what you pay them.
- It isn’t the one doing the work.Your crews do the work. FullYear doesn’t employ anyone who does, and doesn’t guarantee anybody else’s work.
