💬 Tenant
My dishwasher is not working. It won't start at all when I press the button.
🤖 Vulkify AI
Let's try a couple things first!
1. Make sure the door is fully latched — dishwashers won't start if the door isn't closed completely.
2. Check under the sink to see if the power cord is plugged in.
3. Look at your circuit breaker panel — flip the dishwasher breaker off and back on.
💬 Tenant
I tried all three, still nothing.
🤖 Vulkify AI
No problem! I'm connecting you to a certified appliance technician in your area. They'll contact you directly to confirm a time to come out and fix it. 🔧

What Can Vulkify Do for You?

How It Works

Simple for everyone.

1
📱

Tenant Texts 815-VULKIFY

Your tenant describes their issue via text. "My dishwasher won't start." No phone calls to you needed.

2
🤖

AI Troubleshoots First

Our AI walks the tenant through simple fixes. Many issues get resolved instantly — saving you a contractor call.

3
🔍

Vulkify Finds Contractors

If a pro is needed, Vulkify scours our network for contractors near the property and automatically gathers bids from up to 5 qualified pros.

4
💰

You Pick the Best Bid

Up to 5 bids are presented to you with contractor reviews and ratings. Compare prices and select the best one with a single click.

5

We Handle the Rest. Magic!

Vulkify connects the contractor directly to your tenant to schedule the work. You don't lift a finger.

6
📅

Lease Reminders, On Time

Vulkify sends you SMS and email reminders 2 months before any tenant's lease expires — so you have plenty of time to renew, renegotiate, or find a new tenant.

The Problem

Home maintenance is expensive,
time-consuming, and stressful

Whether you own your home or manage rental properties, dealing with maintenance is the same headache — Googling fixes, calling around for contractors, and overpaying because you don't know what the job should cost.

💸

Repairs Cost Too Much

Homeowners overpay because they can't compare prices. Landlords lose profits to property management fees of 8-12% of rent just to coordinate basic repairs.

🔍

Finding Good Help Is Hard

Which contractor is reliable? Who's available? Is this price fair? You end up Googling, reading reviews, and playing phone tag — for every single repair.

🛠️

Simple Fixes Get Expensive

Many home issues — a tripped breaker, a clogged drain, a running toilet — are simple DIY fixes. But without guidance, you call a pro and pay $150+ for a 5-minute job.

Self-Manage Your Rental Homes

Self-manage your rentals
without the burnout.

Property managers charge 8-12% of your rent — thousands per year — mostly to coordinate maintenance. Vulkify gives self-managing landlords a smarter way: AI handles the work, you keep the profits.

Whether you manage one rental home or twenty, Vulkify's AI maintenance system means you never have to take a midnight tenant call, play phone tag with contractors, or overpay for a simple repair again. Self-managing landlords keep full control of their properties and save $5,000-$10,000+ per year compared to hiring a property management company.

💸

Save $5,000–$10,000+ per Year

Property managers charge management fees, leasing fees, and maintenance markups that add up fast. Self-managing with AI costs a fraction of that — just $25/month per property. One rental home at $1,500/month saves you $1,800+ per year in management fees alone.

🤖

AI Does the Heavy Lifting

Maintenance is the #1 reason landlords hire property managers. Vulkify's Anthropic AI handles tenant maintenance requests 24/7 — troubleshooting via text, matching contractors, and collecting bids — so you don't have to. About 70% of issues are resolved without a contractor.

Keep Full Control

No contractor gets dispatched without your approval. You see every bid, make every decision, and stay in charge of your rental homes — without the phone calls, the coordination, and the late-night texts. It's self-management, simplified.
