Home Maintenance Checklist

Whether you’re a new homeowner or a seasoned, home-owning veteran, we pulled together a quick home maintenance checklist that will help keep your biggest investment organized and looking great all year long. 

So without further ado, here’s our easy-to-follow home maintenance checklist:

Weekly

• Sweep floors and vacuum carpets

• Clean bathrooms

• Check all drains to make sure they aren’t clogged

• Make sure all interior and exterior light bulbs are working properly and replace as needed

• Mow and edge lawn to maintain good curb appeal (if in season)

• Remove weeds from flower beds (as needed)

Monthly

• Replace air conditioning filter

• Clean garbage disposal with baking soda, vinegar, and lemons (check out this how-to video)

• Dust (even the hard to reach places)

• Clean the range hood and oven

• Visually inspect the outside of the home and look for any damaged siding, loose shingles, etc.

Annually

• Clean gutters

• Replace batteries in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

• Have a HVAC professional inspect your A/C and heating system

• Check your roof, shingles, flashing, and vents for damage

• Clean and organize your garage (if you have one)

• Check under sinks to make sure there are no signs of leaks

• Make on upgrade that can increase your home’s value (e.g. new light fixtures, updated counter tops, etc.)

While this checklist isn’t exhaustive, it’s a great starting point to refer back to anytime you need a reminder. I hope it helps.
