How to Set Up An Annual Maintenance Calendar

Your home will eventually require maintenance and even repair work in the future. Home repairs can get really stressful, especially if you don’t plan ahead. That’s why our team from Handyman Connection of McKinney recommends setting up an annual maintenance calendar. We discuss how you can properly set up one for your home.

Prioritize Certain Maintenance Projects

Your priority maintenance tasks should be the things that your home needs to stay in good condition. Each home is different, but there are some “universal” parts of your home that require prioritizing. These include your roofing, your home’s exterior paint or siding, and your attic insulation. Mark these as priority tasks since addressing these may reduce the amount of repair and maintenance work you need in the future.

Organize According to Task Frequency

Roofing repair and maintenance are usually once-off and once-a-year projects, but there are some tasks that you have to do once per month. We suggest you organize these tasks on your list as secondary priorities. After all, things like repainting or cleaning out the gutters are very important in keeping up the appearance and good function of your home.

Set a Reminder On Your Calendar

To prevent the hassle that usually comes with home maintenance work, we suggest you set up a reminder on your calendar so that you are also up to date on your required tasks. A small entry on your physical calendar should suffice.

For Bigger Projects, Hire a Professional Team

It’s tempting to do all your maintenance projects on your own, but there are some that will require an expert and professional hand. Roof repair, for example, is a very complex and risky job, so it’s better to leave this project to the professionals.
