How this range is calculated
Recurring service lines come from the Ann Arbor local cost model — national reference midpoints adjusted for Michigan labor costs (index 1.02), climate demand, market size and seasonality. The repair and replacement reserve uses the widely-used 1%-of-home-value guideline, adjusted for home age. Model hs-cost-1.0.
First-party Ashota quotes or completed jobs behind this figure: 0. As Ashota coordinates more work in this market, the modeled range is replaced with observed pricing.
A reserve is not a bill — it is what to set aside so a roof, water heater or HVAC replacement is not a surprise.
Actual provider pricing depends on the property, scope, frequency, access and availability. Ranges are informational and are not quotes.
Ashota coordinates the recurring services and the one-off repairs, with approval before spend and one record of everything.
