Sparboard is the pocket toolkit for first-time house flippers who can’t afford to learn the hard way. Scan a room, score the flip, pull ZIP-local deals, and pull up the trade clip — before the demo hammer swings.
Roof and HVAC have 5+ years left. Subfloor read in kitchen — scope before you commit.
Four silos, one app
Today a first-time flipper bounces between a flip calculator, an AR scanner, a search engine, and a YouTube rabbit hole. Sparboard closes that gap — and keeps the local-savings edge that deal-focused competitors leave on the table.
Walk-through analysis
Scan a room in real time — the walk-through video captures dimensions, square footage, and a flip-worthiness verdict so a beginner can tell a deal from a money pit before earnest money goes down.
ZIP-local deals
Punch in your ZIP and Sparboard pulls local promos at builder-supply stores, salvage yards, paint shops, and contractor outlets — then shows you the projected savings on the rehab budget.

A fast-growing library shot on real job sites: drywall patches, paint prep and roll-out, plumbing fixes, subfloor swaps, electrical basics, cabinet refacing. The trade tricks — and the rookie mistakes — that cost the most.
No more silo-hopping
Flip analysis, AR scanning, deal-hunting, and DIY learning used to live in four different apps. Sparboard rolls them into a single video-first experience aimed at first-time flippers.
Walk-through analysis — live
Paste the deal, attach a walk-through clip, and get the buy / pass / marginal verdict with projected ARV and a rehab range.
Walk-through to weekend project
The shortest path from “is this house worth pursuing?” to “what do I do first on Monday?” — without losing the local-savings edge or the trade knowledge.
