Creating a Home Maintenance Calendar

Owning and maintaining a home is not easy, but it can be much more bearable with the creation of a home maintenance calendar. If you approach your home’s maintenance like a large project, and consider yourself the project manager, you can keep all of those tasks under control, on schedule and on budget. When it’s time to task out some of those maintenance responsibilities, call on Handyman Connection of Lexington to be your most reliable home maintenance partner. Today, we share tips on how you can create your own home maintenance calendar.

1. Make a list of all of your home maintenance tasks. Everyone’s home is different, but start by making a list of things that you already do. Also search online for annual home maintenance list suggestions.
2. Organize your list of tasks by how often they need to be done per calendar year. Some home maintenance tasks occur annually, while others are recurring tasks.
3. Make a calendar entry for each task and set reminders for the tasks.
4. Take a realistic look at your calendar and assess what tasks you can do yourself, and which ones will require a service professional. Call qualified professionals to get a quote on the project and add that to the task detail so you will not be surprised by any maintenance costs throughout the year. Go ahead and schedule tasks to qualified professionals if you feel comfortable doing so. It’s best to get on their schedules early…the good ones always book up fast!

If you follow these steps, you are well on your way to having total control of your home maintenance tasks, but don’t forget to allow yourself some leisure time…rely on the home maintenance experts at Handyman Connection of Lexington to keep your home running smoothly.
