Home Maintenance Log — The Homeowner's Maintenance System

Small tasks stay small when they're on a list. They turn into expensive repairs when they're not. The Home Maintenance Log is a complete organization system for homeowners: every maintenance task, appliance, repair, and contractor in one place — with a 30-minute monthly routine that keeps the whole house ahead of problems.

What's inside: Maintenance Workbook (Excel/Google Sheets) — 7 sheets, no macros, formulas only: Start Here (setup walkthrough and the monthly routine); Maintenance Schedule (60 pre-filled tasks: monthly, quarterly, seasonal, annual — fill in the "Last Done" date and the "Next Due" column calculates itself, with overdue highlighting); Appliance & System Inventory (brand, model, serial number, purchase date, warranty expiry for every major appliance and system, with expiring-warranty alerts); Repair Log (date, issue, contractor, cost, warranty on the work, receipt location for every repair); Contractor Contacts (your trusted tradespeople with ratings, so you never lose a great plumber again); Home Improvement Wishlist (dream projects with priorities and budgets, so plans replace wish lists); Dashboard (overdue tasks, this month's tasks, repair spending this year, warranties expiring within 90 days, all calculated automatically).

Seasonal Checklists (fillable PDF): Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter checklists with checkboxes and notes fields — check items off on a tablet or print them for the fridge.

Quick-Start Guide (PDF): setting up the log, the 30-minute monthly routine, how to vet contractors (the questions to ask before you hire), and receipt habits that make warranty and insurance claims easier.

Who it's for: Homeowners who want to stop relying on memory for the dozens of small tasks that keep a house running.

Please note: This is a home organization tool. It is not professional home-inspection, contractor, insurance, or legal advice, and no outcome is promised regarding repair costs, property values, or insurance claims. Electrical, gas, structural, and roofing work should be done by qualified professionals.

Files: XLSX workbook + 2 PDFs. Works in Excel and Google Sheets; PDFs fillable in any PDF reader.
