The Woodlands, TX · Private Firm
LIVALU · Residential Care Program
Most homeowners only think about their home when something goes wrong.
A contractor who doesn't call back. A repair that costs three times what it should. No record of what's been done or why.
Our members never experience that.
Because we're already there.

5-Year Projection
For a home valued at $1,200,000, LIVALU Private represents just 0.60% of your property's value per year — while protecting an asset that costs $12,000–$24,000 annually without oversight. Most of that cost comes from problems that weren't caught in time.
The $299 review fee is credited in full toward your first month of membership. Every application is personally reviewed. We meet at your home.
Estimates based on the home maintenance industry standard of 1–2% of property value per year (source: National Association of Home Builders / HomeAdvisor). Actual costs vary based on property age, condition, and project scope. This calculator is an illustrative tool, not financial advice.
The LIVALU Model
Think of us as your home's personal doctor.
You don't wait until you're in the emergency room to see your doctor. You have regular checkups. Someone who knows your history. Who catches things early.
That's exactly what we do — but for your home.
"Most homeowners in The Woodlands are still doing this the old way."

The Intelligence Layer
While other contractors finish the job and leave, we stay.

Unified system · Two moments, one protection
The contractor visits your home and feeds the system with real data. The AI works between visits with that data to anticipate what's coming.
Step 1 · During the visit
A real diagnosis of your home — not a form you fill out.
After every in-person visit, the contractor documents the real condition of each system — roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, exterior. The system generates a 0–100 score with concrete next steps, not just a number.
Structural: 92 → No action required
Electrical: 85 → Inspection recommended in 6 months
Plumbing: 88 → Check main shutoff valve
HVAC: 79 → Filter overdue · Service this month

Living Vault · Your Property's Technical Memory
Living Vault documents every room in your property — materials, installations, repairs, and dates. It's not a photo album. It's the technical record you need exactly when something fails.
Living Vault · Explained in 30 seconds
LiDAR Technology · Members only
Scenario 01
A pipe fails behind your master bathroom wall. Do you know what plumbing brand was installed, what pipe gauge was used, whether there's an active warranty? Without Living Vault, you start from zero. With Living Vault, the technician arrives with the complete history.
Result:
Faster diagnosis. Less labor time. No compatibility errors.
Scenario 02
Two similar homes on the market. One has documented technical history — repairs, materials, dates, photos. The other doesn't. The buyer knows which one carries less risk. The difference isn't just perception: it's a price argument.
Result:
Evidence of responsible maintenance. A differentiating argument with the buyer.
Scenario 03
A storm damages the roof. The insurer asks for evidence of the prior condition, installed materials, and finish values. Without documentation, you negotiate from zero — and the insurer always wins that negotiation. With Living Vault, you have dated photos, materials, and registered values.
Result:
Documented claim. Negotiation with evidence. Less loss.
"If a pipe fails behind your master bathroom wall tomorrow, do you know what materials were used when it was built, who installed it, and whether there's an active warranty?"
Most homeowners say no. Living Vault is the answer to that question.

Before you apply
LIVALU Residential Care has been operating in The Woodlands for over 10 years — first on large projects, now exclusively as a private residential care firm.
LIVALU is intentionally small because that's the only way we can stand behind every project personally.
Every member knows who they're calling. Every visit is handled by someone we know personally.
This isn't a company with a call center. It's a private practice — and our name is on it.
Every photo in the Real Proof section is a completed project in The Woodlands — neighborhood name included. Carlton Woods. Creekside Park. The Woodlands proper.
We don't use stock photography to represent our work. If you want to see more, we're happy to share additional documentation from completed projects during your application review.
Day 1 — Your membership is confirmed. Day 2 — We contact you personally to introduce ourselves and schedule your first visit. Day 7 — First welcome visit. We walk your home completely, document every system, and note anything that needs attention. Day 8 — You receive your first PDF report with the complete state of your property.
From that point forward, your home has a record. Every visit builds on the last one.
3-month minimum. After that, month to month.
Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No penalties. No questions.
We'd rather earn your membership every month than lock you into something you don't value.
Signature members: 48-hour response during business hours. Private Care members: 24-hour response, including weekends. LIVALU Black members: same-day response via direct WhatsApp message to the director.
For genuine emergencies — active leak, structural concern, safety issue — we respond outside those windows regardless of plan. We document what qualifies as an emergency in your membership agreement so there's no ambiguity.
Our team is made up of people we've worked with before — tradespeople and specialists we know personally, whose work we've seen firsthand, and whose standards match ours.
We don't hire through platforms or bring in strangers. Every person who enters your home has a history with us. Fully insured.
Included in every scheduled visit: Complete diagnostic walkthrough · Minor repairs up to 1 hour of labor · Full written PDF report · Recommendations for the next 6 months.
Not included — member rate applies: Work beyond 1 hour of labor · Materials (always at actual cost, no markup) · Remodeling or structural projects.
The line is clear before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
40 residences is not a marketing number. It's the maximum we can serve without compromising the quality our current members expect.
When we're full, we stop accepting applications. Our current members' experience always comes first. If we ever grow beyond that, it will be because we've built the infrastructure to maintain the same standard — not because we needed the revenue.
Simple membership agreement. 3-month minimum. Month to month after that.
Everything we commit to is in writing — response times, what's included in each visit, and what happens if we don't deliver. You'll have it before you sign anything.
We're intentionally small. We don't advertise.
We grow through the recommendations of our members. If you're seeing this page, someone in your network thought enough of us to share it — or you found us because you were looking for exactly this.
Either way, you're here for a reason.

View all questionsMembership Conditions
LIVALU membership is designed for homeowners committed to caring for their property. To protect the integrity of the program and all members, there are clear conditions under which membership may be cancelled. No fine print.
Membership applies exclusively to primary or secondary owned residences. Using the program for rental or investment properties without prior disclosure results in immediate cancellation.
If a third party is hired to perform work on the property without notifying LIVALU, the warranty on that work becomes void. Membership may be suspended if this occurs repeatedly.
Providing false information about the property, its use, or its condition at the time of application is grounds for cancellation without refund.
LIVALU issues preventive maintenance recommendations after each visit. Repeatedly ignoring critical recommendations may affect warranty coverage on related work.
LIVALU reserves the right to cancel membership if there is disrespectful treatment toward the inspection or work team.
Exclusive Member Benefit
Active members receive extended warranties on all work executed by LIVALU. If something fails within the warranty period, we detect it at your next inspection and address it at no additional diagnostic cost.
Private Care is limited to 40 residences in The Woodlands.
Not because we can't grow — because quality requires limits.
