A plan built around your actual house
Generic maintenance checklists tell you to service a boiler you don’t have. We start from what’s really in the house — its age, its systems, its last service dates — and build a calendar around that: what to do each season, what can wait, and what should be looked at before it becomes expensive. You get it in writing, and it stays yours.
Finding good people, and keeping them on schedule
The hardest part of home upkeep usually isn’t deciding what to do — it’s finding someone reliable to do it and then getting them to show up. We help source trades, put quotes into a form you can actually compare, and follow the job through scheduling so it doesn’t quietly slip a season. We don’t take commissions from contractors; our advice isn’t for sale to the people we’d be recommending.
One place for the paperwork a house generates
Warranties, appliance manuals, permits, insurance policies, inspection reports, receipts, and the running history of who did what and when. We get it organized once and keep it current, which matters most at exactly two moments: when something breaks and when you sell.
Nothing lapses without you knowing
Insurance renewals, service contracts, permits, warranty windows, and inspection dates, tracked with enough lead time that you can shop a rate or ask a question instead of auto-renewing by default. Small thing, and it routinely saves more than it costs.
A second set of eyes on the bigger work
Roof replacements, kitchen work, a new heating system. We help you write down what you’re actually asking for before you solicit bids, read the bids side by side, and stay involved while the work happens so the schedule and the scope hold. We don’t manage crews or carry a license to build — we represent your side of the conversation.
For a house that isn’t lived in year-round
Closing up for the season, opening back up, and arranging sensible checks in between. Empty houses fail differently than occupied ones — quietly, and usually involving water — so the plan looks different too.
How engagements are set up
Most work begins with a single home review and a written plan, which is a one-time engagement. From there some homeowners handle the plan themselves and check back seasonally; others keep us on for ongoing coordination. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before anything starts, and there’s no long-term commitment.
We deliberately work with a small number of homes at a time, so availability is limited and we’re not always able to take on someone new. If that’s the case when you write, we’ll tell you plainly rather than leave you waiting.
Not sure which of these you need?
Describe the house and what’s on your mind. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right help.
