First-year home maintenance checklist for new homeowners
Fix the right home maintenance tasks first.
A 15-page fillable home maintenance checklist and planner that turns inspection findings, repairs, records, and seasonal tasks into a clear first-year plan.
15 pages · Fillable PDF · Printable US Letter · $12 USD
Built for the messy space between “we bought a house” and “we have a system.”
Your home inspection report is not a maintenance plan.
A home inspection tells you what was found. It does not always tell you what deserves attention first, what can wait, or how to organize every receipt, quote, warranty, and service date that follows.
Fix First Home gives that information a working order—without asking you to become a contractor overnight.

Before you start
Questions about the home maintenance planner.
Who is this home maintenance planner for?
It is designed for first-time and new homeowners who need a practical way to organize inspection findings, repairs, recurring maintenance, records, and upcoming costs during the first year.
What is included in the first-year home maintenance checklist?
The 15-page kit includes a home profile, emergency basics, an inspection-to-action register, 30-day and 90-day plans, a quarterly planner, seasonal tasks, home-system records, a contractor quote comparison, a maintenance budget, and a year-one review.
When should a new homeowner start using it?
Start after receiving your inspection report or as soon as you get the keys. You can add new repairs and maintenance tasks as you learn how the home behaves through each season.
Can I fill it out on my computer?
Yes. The kit is a fillable PDF, so you can type into it and save your progress.
Can I print it?
Yes. Every page is designed for US Letter paper and works well in a home binder.
Is this a replacement for a home inspection?
No. It is an organization and decision aid. Use licensed professionals for inspections, repairs, safety concerns, and urgent issues.
How do I receive it?
After Stripe confirms payment, the site opens a private download page so you can save the PDF right away.
