Regular Help Keeping Up With the Home
A home has a lot of small maintenance needs. Filters need to be changed, detectors need to be checked, caulk and weather stripping wear down, exterior areas collect debris, and small repair items tend to build up over time. The monthly maintenance plan helps keep those items from being forgotten. Each visit includes routine maintenance, safety checks, a visual home check, seasonal maintenance items, and a simple summary of what was checked or completed. This plan is best for homeowners who want ongoing support, not just a one-time handyman visit.What’s Included in the Monthly Home Maintenance Plan
| Category | Included Items |
|---|---|
| Routine Maintenance | HVAC filter replacement, refrigerator water filter replacement, whole-home water filter replacement, water softener salt refill, dryer vent exterior flap check, bathroom exhaust fan check. |
| Safety Checks | Smoke/CO detector age and condition check, smoke/CO detector test, fire extinguisher inspection, accessible GFCI outlet test |

| Odd Job Time | Up to 30 minutes per visit for small household handyman tasks. |
Odd Job Time
Each monthly visit includes up to 30 minutes of odd job time for small tasks that can be handled during the appointment. This is useful for the little items that tend to sit on the list, such as:
- Shower head replacement
- Smoke detector replacement
- Door knob or lever replacement
- Light bulb replacement
- Small caulking touch-ups
- Small drywall touch-ups
- Weather stripping replacement
- Window screen repair
- Tightening loose hardware
- Replacing switch plates or outlet covers
Odd job time is intended for small tasks that can reasonably be completed during the monthly visit. Anything requiring special tools or materials should be coordinated in advance. Materials, larger projects, and work requiring a separate visit can be estimated separately.
Maintenance Documentation After Each Visit
After each monthly visit, you receive a simple maintenance summary so you know what was checked, what was completed, and what may need attention. This may include:
- Routine maintenance completed
- Safety items checked
- Visual concerns noticed
- Materials used or needed
- Recommended next steps
- Items to consider for a future visit
This gives you a clearer record of your home’s ongoing maintenance and helps make small issues easier to track over time.
