Homeowner resources

Checklists and reference material for your home.

Reusable references that pair with the property checklist builder. Print them, save them, or rebuild them for your own home.

Recurring home tasks

Recurring task intervals

A starting point for building your recurring schedule.

  1. Monthly: test alarms, check filters.
  2. Quarterly: clean aerators, flush unused drains.
  3. Twice yearly: check weatherstripping, clean dryer vent.
  4. Yearly: review water heater manual guidance.

Interior checks

Home details worth recording

Having details handy saves time when something breaks.

  1. Shutoff locations for water, gas, and power.
  2. Filter sizes and appliance model numbers.
  3. Paint colors by room.
  4. Install dates for major systems.

Household repairs

Questions to ask before hiring a provider

Verify any independent provider yourself before work begins.

  1. Are you licensed and insured for this work in my state?
  2. Will you provide a written estimate?
  3. Who handles permits, if required?
  4. Can you share references for similar jobs?

Exterior upkeep

Exterior inspection walk

A slow loop around the house twice a year.

  1. Look for peeling paint or soft trim.
  2. Check that downspouts drain away from the foundation.
  3. Note cracks in walkways.
  4. Photograph anything to compare next season.

Turn these into reminders for your own home.
