The Complete Home Maintenance System
500+ essential tasks to protect your biggest investment, prevent costly repairs, and build a maintenance history that increases your home's resale value
$30,000 in Preventable Damage
In the past three years, I've watched five friends—all smart, capable homeowners—suffer more than $30,000 in preventable home damage. Not from freak accidents or natural disasters, but from simple maintenance tasks left undone.
The Water Heater Cascade
A skipped $0 water heater flush led to a flooded basement and destroyed furnace. Total cost: over $8,000.
The Sump Pump Failures
Two friends didn't know sump pumps have a lifespan. When they failed, finished basements were destroyed. $30,000+ each.
The Silent Termites
15 years without inspections. A $20K siding project became a $60K structural rebuild when termites were discovered.
Every Disaster Was Preventable
The problem wasn't lack of skill or money. It was the absence of a system. This book is that system.
