Steward governs home renovation projects with legally binding contracts, Stripe-protected payments, and AI-confirmation for every milestone — costs, work completion and payments are transparent, protecting everyone.
Why your projects are safe with Steward
Protected Payments
Released only when you approve each milestone — never before.
AI milestone review
When a contractor submits photos, AI summarizes what it sees and calls out potential issues — so you can approve with confidence.
Legally binding contract
State-specific contracts generated automatically. Both parties sign in-app.
Payment guaranteed within 48 hours of submission
Funds release 48 hours after submission if no dispute is filed.
Dispute resolution
Built-in issue flagging and step-by-step legal escalation guidance if a problem arises.
Milestones protected by low flat fee
Fund each milestone + $5 flat fee. Contractor gets paid when work is approved. No more paying before it's done.
The average home renovation dispute costs $3,000 – $15,000 out of pocket. On a $80K project, with 5 milestones, that spans 3 months, Steward costs $30 in platform fees, and $25 in transaction fees. Protecting your money for 0.07% of the project cost.
