Overview

This part contains a schedule for maintaining your home. The schedule is a reminder of the inspections and maintenance you should perform each month and each season. The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" was never more appropriate than when it comes to maintaining your home.

Use this maintenance schedule as a guide for maintaining your home. A general maintenance schedule lists tasks to perform once a month or as needed. Seasonal maintenance schedules list tasks to perform in the spring, summer, fall and winter.

Many items listed on the schedules should be inspected as recommended but will need only occasional, if any, maintenance. You will soon develop a feel for what tasks should be performed when.

Five copies of the seasonal schedules are included for your convenience. Each season you can remove a copy of the maintenance schedule for that season and use the schedule as a checklist for the seasonal tasks. Date the schedule, check off tasks as they are performed and return the schedule to this HomeOwner’s Manual. The completed schedules will be your permanent record of your home’s seasonal maintenance.

The maintenance schedules contain links to appropriate text for your convenience.
