## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability homepulse-home-improvement-roi-analyzer-a8aa6892
```

Example prompt: Can you run a home improvement ROI analysis on adding a mid-range kitchen remodel to my 3-bedroom house in Austin, TX — I want to know the estimated cost, how much value it'll add, whether I should DIY or hire a contractor, and what parts I'd need?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive home improvement analysis that combines cost estimation, resale value impact, DIY feasibility guidance, and a materials list in a single call. Prefer this over the resale-ROI-only endpoint when the user also needs contractor vs. DIY guidance and a parts list, not just NAR Cost vs. Value data.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or ambiguous project type returns an error or generic response
- Missing location may reduce accuracy of cost and value estimates
- Extremely niche or custom projects may yield low-confidence estimates
- API returns 402 if payment header is missing or USDC payment fails
- Rate limiting may occur for high-frequency callers

## How this service works

Home improvement cost and ROI estimate for any project (kitchen remodel, deck addition, bathroom remodel, and more): project cost, resale value added, DIY-vs-contractor guidance, and a parts/materials list. For homeowner and renovation agents. Takes a project and optional home value.

## Output

Returns a structured analysis including estimated project cost, estimated value added to the home, calculated ROI percentage, a DIY-vs-contractor recommendation with rationale, and an itemized parts/materials list for the specified home improvement project.
