Start with your address. Results are instant.
Three contractors, three visits, three prices that have nothing to do with each other. We measure your property from above, lay out the project, and tell you what a fair price looks like. Then contractors bid on that, not on a guess.
Ask three contractors to price "a new driveway" and you get three different driveways. Different sizes, different materials, different ideas about where the water goes. None of them is wrong. None of them can be compared.
It all lives in your incentive file: the measurements, what we propose with a before and after picture, the rules the rebate program requires, what the job should cost, and your rebate estimate right next to it. Contractors can price it without coming out.
Sample file with example figures and a fictional address. Yours is built for your property.
Every program has a maximum. Anything you build past it, you pay for yourself. We size the project to that limit and tell you plainly where it is.
The more common mistake: a project that could have gotten the full rebate stops short because nobody thought to include the walkway too.
Many programs spell out the materials, down to the stone under the pavers or the plants in the garden. A contractor who does not know that can build you something beautiful that gets no rebate.
Slope, soil and where your downspouts empty decide whether a rain garden works or turns into a pond. We catch that on paper, where it is cheap to fix.
See what your property qualifies for and pick the upgrade you want. Choose the $150 option to add Scope and Solution Design.
A Rainplanner studies your property from aerial and street photos, plus a few photos from you, and may call you for ten minutes about what you want.
Your incentive file arrives with the plan, the picture, what it should cost and the rebate math. Change anything you like. Nothing goes out until you say so.
Your plan goes to vetted contractors who do this exact work, at no cost to you. Bids come back on the same terms, so you compare and choose. Or hand the plan to your own contractor.
If your address qualifies for a rebate, the plan comes with your claim. If it doesn't, you can still get the plan on its own. Either way it is one flat fee.
Your address search decides which one you see. The plan and cost estimate are a guide; the actual price comes from the contractor bids you receive. If a program turns down your claim for reasons outside your control, the claim fee comes back in full. Rebate amounts are maximums and depend on the program's approval.
Most of what matters is visible from above and from the street: property lines, roof size, paved areas, slope, where the downspouts land. We measure from current aerial photos, check against street photos and your own, and ask you the few things only you know. If the job needs eyes on it, the contractor you pick does one visit after you choose their bid, instead of three contractors doing three.
Real prices from contractors who do this work, matched to your project's size, materials and area. It is a range, not a quote, and it is there so you can recognize a high bid and a suspiciously low one.
It shows what, where, how big and to which program rules, with a picture of the result. That is enough for a contractor to bid without visiting and enough for the program's first approval. If a permit needs detailed drawings, the contractor you choose provides them.
If your address qualifies for a rebate, Scope and Solution Design comes with the claim as the $150 option. If your address has no rebate today, you can get it on its own for $100, and you can still post your project for bids through Provider Match and get competing bids.
Tell us. The plan is yours to change before you confirm it, and nothing goes to contractors until you do. Different materials, a smaller area, a different corner of the yard: all fine, and we will tell you if a change affects the rebate.
No. Hand it to your own contractor if you prefer. We include the program's rules so they build it right. If you want competing bids, our Provider Network is there at no cost to you.
Your incentive file, with the plan inside, is usually ready within days. Bids follow once you confirm, and how fast depends on your area and the season.
Enter your address, pick your upgrade, and have a measured, priced plan for your property within days.
