Home Maintenance Schedule, Free to Print

Two pages, twelve months. This free printable home maintenance schedule puts the household upkeep routine on paper in one place: page 1 is a 12-row monthly table with a write-in month, a write-in task, and a circle to mark done; page 2 spreads the seasonal jobs across four write-in lines, one per season, plus a single filter reminder line. No dates are printed anywhere, so the sheet starts in any month and the month column is always yours to fill. If you would rather record what already happened than plan what comes next, the home maintenance log works one row at a time after the fact.

Page 1: the monthly table

Twelve rows, one per month. The month column is write-in on purpose: start the sheet in March, November, or the middle of a lease, and the rows line up the same way. Write one upkeep task per row, something the household can finish in a few minutes, and mark the done circle when it happens. If a row's circle stays empty for two months, the task is wrong, too big, or belongs on the seasonal page instead.

Page 2: the seasonal box and the filter line

Four lines, one per season, inside one box. This is where the jobs that come four times a year live: gutter checks in the fall, hose and seal checks in the spring, whatever the house actually needs. One line per season keeps the box readable; the point is a steady rhythm, not a second long list. The filter line below the box is there because filter changes are the easiest chore in the house to lose: a dirty filter still works, so nothing reminds you. Write its size or type on the line once, pencil in the month you last swapped it, and the next check becomes a lookup. If the house has more than one filter, the free home maintenance log has an 8-row filter and battery tracker for the rest.

Four opinions about keeping a maintenance schedule

Opinions from sheets that stuck, take or leave:

1. Tie the sheet to a day the household already keeps. Opinion: rent day, trash night, or the first of the month. Anchor the sheet to a date you already mark, and that date reminds you to look at the sheet; leave it floating to "sometime this weekend" and the weekend fills up with everything else first.
2. Write all twelve month numbers in one sitting. Opinion: the month column never expires, but rows without a month number quietly never get filled in. Prefill 1 through 12 (or the twelve months from wherever you start) and the table becomes a year-long track you can see at a glance.
3. One task per row, room first. Opinion: "Bathroom: descale the showerhead" gets done; "cleaning stuff" doesn't. Naming the room makes each row scannable, and scannable rows survive the weeks when nobody feels like reading the sheet.
4. Let the done circles build the record. Opinion: a row with twelve filled circles is proof of a routine, no memory required. When the page fills, print a fresh one and keep the finished sheet; a year of circles answers "when did we last do this" faster than guessing.

What this sheet does not do

This is a schedule sheet, household organization on paper. It holds the upkeep routine you write on it, month by month, and nothing else: no repair diagnosis, no reminders once the page is buried under mail, and no guidance for jobs that need a licensed professional or the manufacturer's manual. The routine is yours to pick; the sheet keeps it in one place.

What the full 30-page binder adds

The New Home Binder is this routine at full depth, 30 printable pages in PDF for A4 and US Letter paper. In its own README:

"A printable binder for a move and the first months after it: the countdown, the costs, the setup, and the upkeep. Pick your paper size, print what you need, write on paper. No app, no login, no subscription. No dates printed anywhere, so it works for a move in any month of any year."

• Move Countdown from 8 weeks out to move day, two stages per page (pages 3-5)
• Trackers for moving costs, deposits and first bills, 20 numbered moving boxes, 30 address-change lines with 25 prefilled, and utilities setup (pages 6-10)
• Key contact cards, a Shutoff & Breaker Map, and paint, flooring, and manual logs (pages 11-15)

• Maintenance: Every Month, an 8-task routine plus a 12-row write-in grid (page 22); Maintenance: Seasonal, four rounds a year, 6 tasks each (page 23)
• Room and window measurements, an offline utility password log, a receipt log, a first-week meals plan, and notes (pages 24-29)

And on why a printable schedule beats a dated one, in the README's words: "Every page is fill-in by hand. The countdown runs on relative weeks, and the maintenance grid months are written in by hand, so nothing expires."
