A home maintenance checklist is a list of tasks that need to be completed on a regular basis in order to maintain the functionality and integrity of a home. The checklist can help you keep track of tasks that need to be done on a regular basis. Inspect the exterior of your home for any damage that may need to be repaired. Completing these tasks on a regular basis helps to ensure that the homeowner's home is safe and in good condition.
