LIGHTWELL AND LEDGER
A clearer picture.
A considered plan.
A lightwell brings light into a home. A ledger brings order to its details. We bring both perspectives to homeownership: understanding what your home needs, what it costs, and what makes it a pleasure to live in.
Less uncertainty. More room to enjoy what’s yours.
“Is this quote actually reasonable?”
You want to make a smart decision. You shouldn’t need to become an expert in every trade to make one.
“What are we forgetting?”
The roof, the heating, the next renewal. The details keep coming, even when the rest of life is full.
“Can this wait until next year?”
A clear set of priorities makes it easier to protect your home without treating every expense like an emergency.
FROM THE ROOF TO THE RECORDS
Your home has a lot
of moving parts.
We connect them.
Our home-system inventory brings the details into one place. Explore a few of the areas we document.
Building & exterior
Roof, gutters, siding, windows, and exterior upkeep. We organize age, service history, known concerns, and questions for qualified specialists.
Heating, cooling & mechanical
Equipment records, service intervals, and replacement planning. You can see what is documented and what still needs professional assessment.
Water & plumbing
Water heater, drainage, sump pumps, and leak protection. Records help guide maintenance conversations and future spending.
Costs, contracts & service history
Recurring bills, renewal dates, vendor scopes, and maintenance records. The context you need before agreeing to the next proposal.
ON YOUR SIDE OF THE TABLE
A clear view.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What exactly is Lightwell and Ledger?
Lightwell and Ledger is your independent home advisor. We bring your systems, costs, and priorities into one clear picture—then help you decide what needs attention, what can wait, and what to plan for.
What makes Lightwell and Ledger different?
We look at the whole home, not just the next job. You get a dedicated advisor, a forward-looking plan, and clear cost reviews—all supported by a flat fee with no vendor commissions.
What does proactive care look like?
It starts with a plan: seasonal maintenance, upcoming renewals, and aging equipment reviewed before decisions become urgent. We help you prepare earlier, while recognizing that no plan can prevent every surprise.
What is the Home Score?
The Home Score brings key findings into a simple 0–100 overview, with priorities behind the number. It helps you see where to focus and track progress over time. It is an advisory tool, not a licensed inspection.
The details, connected. The advice, personal.
Technology helps organize records and prepare comparisons. Your advisor reviews the information, explains what matters, and helps you decide what comes next.
What reports will I receive?
Your Home Score, financial picture, and home plan explain how your property is performing. The Happiness Report explores how it feels to live there. Ongoing summaries keep progress and next steps easy to follow.
What does “conflict-free” mean?
Our Home Advisory fee comes from you, with no vendor commissions or repair markups. Coordinated Maintenance is quoted separately as a program of defined services. Your proposal explains the scope and payment responsibilities.
Can I keep the service providers I trust?
Yes. We build on relationships that work. When you need alternatives, we help review qualifications, compare proposals, and clarify scope—so you can choose with better information.
How will you keep me informed?
You receive concise updates and regular reviews. When a decision needs your attention, we bring the options, costs, and our recommendation together—so you can respond without sorting through a long email chain.
Who is Lightwell and Ledger best suited for?
Homeowners in Newton, Wellesley, and Brookline who love their home but want less of the responsibility living in their heads. It is especially useful for properties with complex systems, historic details, or a growing list of decisions.
How is Lightwell and Ledger priced?
Home Advisory has a flat fee quoted for your home and support needs. Coordinated Maintenance has a property-specific monthly fee covering listed seasonal services and coordination. Repairs and optional work are quoted separately.
Do you perform repairs or handle emergencies?
Qualified service providers perform hands-on work. Home Advisory helps with planning and proposal review; Coordinated Maintenance adds scheduling and records for agreed services. We are not an emergency response service or a licensed home inspection company.
How are my home’s records handled?
System details, service history, and cost records are organized together, so you can find what you need. We discuss access and information sharing as part of your engagement.
What happens on the discovery call?
In about 30 minutes, we talk about your home, what’s taking up your attention, and where support could help. You’ll hear how the service works and what it costs. No obligation.
