Home Maintenance Tracking

The easiest way to stay
on top of your house.

A full year of maintenance, already planned for your climate and the things your house actually has. Every task tells you how long it takes, whether to do it yourself or call someone, and what it costs either way. It lands in the calendar you already use. And because this is Real Estate Ledger, the work you finish becomes a permanent, provable record.

Why it is easier

The hard part was never the wrench.

It is knowing what needs doing, when, how urgent it really is, and whether it is a Saturday job or a phone call. Real Estate Ledger ships with that research already done: 116 tasks across ten home systems, each with a difficulty, a time estimate, a DIY cost, a pro cost, and a plain explanation of what it costs you to skip it.

  • Nothing to build from scratch

    Adopt a full seasonal plan in one click instead of staring at an empty list wondering what a house needs. Tune it afterward: add your own tasks, dismiss what does not apply.

  • Decide DIY or pro at a glance

    Flushing the water heater is 30 to 45 minutes and free if you do it, $110 to $200 if you do not. You get both numbers before you commit your Saturday.

  • It lives in your calendar

    Export the schedule as an .ics feed to Google, Apple, or Outlook. No extra app to remember to open, no notification you will swipe away.

  • It tells you what actually matters

    Tasks are weighted by real consequence, so a busy month means skipping the cabinet hinges, not the dryer vent. Overdue, due this week, and due this month are one glance apart.

If you skip it

Clogged gutters are a leading cause of fascia, soffit, and basement water damage. The average homeowner water-damage claim now exceeds $12,500.

The part other apps stop at

A checkmark is not a record.

Staying on schedule is most of the value. The rest shows up later, when someone asks you to prove it. Undocumented maintenance turns into a denied warranty claim, a failed insurance inspection, or a buyer's credit you have no evidence to dispute. So every task you complete here is stored as a dated entry with the vendor, the cost, and the invoice attached.

When it matters What you're asked for What a checklist app gives you What Real Estate Ledger gives you
Warranty claim Prove the required service happened on schedule A checked box in an app the manufacturer has never heard of Dated completion, vendor, cost, and the invoice, fingerprinted at upload
Insurance renewal or claim Show the roof and water systems were maintained Your memory of when you last had it looked at The inspection reports and service history, in date order
Listing and inspection Justify the asking price against inspection findings "We keep up with everything" A maintenance history in the Property Guidebook the buyer can verify
Selling or handing off Tell the next owner what was done and when An app account that does not transfer The full history moves with the property at closing

From an empty property to a running schedule in one sitting.

  1. 01

    Adopt a plan

    Pick from a 116-task library covering HVAC, roof and gutters, plumbing, exterior, interior, appliances, landscape, pool, foundation, and solar. Adopt the whole plan at once instead of building a schedule from a blank screen.

  2. 02

    Tune it to the actual house

    Frequencies account for seasonality: some tasks run monthly only in season, some annually, some every three to five years. Add your own tasks, dismiss what does not apply, and restore anything you dismissed too early.

  3. 03

    Work it from the calendar

    Track what is overdue, due this week, and due this month. Export the whole schedule as an .ics feed so it lives in the calendar you already open every morning.

  4. 04

    Close the loop with evidence

    Mark a task done as DIY or Pro, record what it cost, and attach the invoice. The completion is dated and fingerprinted via Digital Evidence, so the history stands up later.

Health score

78 Good

One number for how the house is actually doing.

Every task carries an impact weight, so skipping the annual HVAC service costs you more than skipping a cabinet-hinge tightening. The score is weighted by that impact and broken out per system, sorted worst-first — so the thing that needs attention is the thing at the top of the list.

  • 80–100 Excellent
  • 60–79 Good
  • 40–59 Needs attention
  • 0–39 At risk

What you get

The parts other maintenance apps leave out.

  • Costs, captured as you go

    Each completion records DIY or Pro and what it cost. Over a few years that becomes the real annual maintenance spend on the property, not a rule-of-thumb percentage.

  • Assets feed the schedule

    Log the water heater, the HVAC unit, the roof. A service event on an asset can be promoted into a recurring task, so the inventory and the schedule stay in sync.

  • Calendar export, not another inbox

    An .ics export puts the schedule into Google, Apple, or Outlook Calendar. No app to remember to open.

  • Warranties stay in good standing

    Completions link to the warranties that require them, so the prerequisite maintenance and the coverage sit together when it is time to file.

  • It shows up in the Guidebook

    Maintenance history is a section of the Property Guidebook, the report you hand a buyer, lender, or insurer.

  • It transfers

    At closing the whole record, maintenance history included, moves to the next owner. The chain of custody stays intact.

Just browsing

Want to see the task library before you sign up?

The free Maintenance Planner runs the same 116 tasks in your browser. Answer a few questions about your climate, ZIP code, and what the house has (pool, septic, fireplace, hard water) and it builds the year-round schedule. It stops there, though: nothing you complete is saved, no costs are tracked, and there is no record to hand anyone later. That part needs an account.
