Planned Nova Feature
Payments Built Around Progress.
Large renovation projects shouldn’t depend entirely on a huge upfront payment — or on a contractor hoping they’ll be paid after completing the work. Nova is developing milestone-based project payments.
Example structure
Four stages, tied to progress.
Exact payment structures can be agreed upon between the homeowner and contractor.

For homeowners
Greater visibility into where your money is going.
For contractors
A clearer payment schedule tied to project progress.
This feature is in development and not available today.
Nova does not currently process or hold project payments, and is not an escrow service.
We’re designing this with early-access homeowners and contractors.
Early access
Help shape how project payments work.
Nova is currently onboarding homeowners and renovation contractors who want to help shape a better way to hire — and get hired.
