FranklyHomeowner Advocacy
A homeowner construction advocate on your side of the table.
Contractors have estimators, project managers, and sales reps. Most homeowners have a kitchen table and a stack of paper. Frankly evens that out — acting as your advocate from first bid through final payment.
Who this is for
- Homeowners who feel outmatched in contractor conversations
- Owners whose project is taking longer or costing more than expected
- Anyone who wants a calm, neutral voice in a tense situation
- Owners worried about signing payment schedules or change orders
Problems it solves
- Conversations that move too fast to think clearly
- Hard sells, time pressure, and "today only" pricing
- Disputes where the contractor controls all the documentation
- Confusion over what was actually promised in writing
What you get
- An experienced advocate to translate jargon in real time
- Independent review of every scope, bid, estimate, and change order
- Written follow-ups capturing what was agreed and when
- Calmer conversations grounded in facts, not pressure
- Help asking the right questions before money changes hands
- A record you can rely on if there's ever a dispute
How it works
A clear, written process.
- 01
Tell us where you're stuck
A short call or message describing the project, the parties, and the current decision in front of you.
- 02
We engage as your advocate
Depending on the situation, that means reviewing documents, joining calls, or drafting written follow-ups on your behalf.
- 03
You make the call, with backup
We give you the information and language you need. Final decisions stay with you — we just make sure you're making them with full context.
Frequently asked
- Are you a lawyer?
- No. Frankly is a construction consulting practice, not a law firm. For legal disputes, we'll recommend you bring in qualified counsel.
- Will you talk to my contractor directly?
- When the engagement calls for it, yes — either with you on the call or in follow-up emails you've approved.
- Is this a long-term commitment?
- No. Engagements range from a single decision to milestone-based support across a project.
- Do you only work on roofing?
- Roofing is the core specialty, but most residential construction projects share the same patterns and we review them on the same basis.
