How maintenance tracking works

Set it once. Steadwell handles the rest.

Add a task

Create any maintenance task with a due date, category, and priority. Add notes for contractors or yourself.

Set a recurrence

Make it repeat — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. The next task is created automatically when you mark one complete.

Get reminded

Receive an email reminder 3 days before anything is due. Plus users get the full range of reminder intervals.

Log it as done

Mark tasks complete with one tap. Your service history builds automatically — a permanent record of everything done to your home.

A home maintenance schedule you will actually follow

Most of what goes wrong in a house is slow, quiet and preventable. A tracker keeps the quiet jobs from being forgotten.

What belongs on a home maintenance checklist

Every home has a handful of recurring jobs: replacing the HVAC filter about every 90 days, an annual heating and cooling tune-up, cleaning the gutters twice a year, flushing the water heater, clearing the dryer vent, and testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Add a roof check after any major storm and a look under the sinks for slow leaks.

The right list depends on your house. A 1990s home with an original water heater needs different attention than a new build, which is why the setup wizard suggests tasks based on your home's age and systems instead of handing you a generic list.

Why one-off reminders do not work

A phone alarm for the furnace filter is easy to set once and easy to lose. A maintenance tracker keeps the date, the category and the priority together, repeats the task on the schedule you choose, and creates the next one when you mark the current one done.

Steadwell emails you 3 days before a task is due, so you have time to buy the filter or book the technician rather than finding out on the day.

The history is as valuable as the reminder

Every task you complete becomes a dated line in your home's service history. That record helps when a manufacturer asks for proof that equipment was maintained, when you file an insurance claim, and when you sell and a buyer asks what has been done.

Because the history builds as you check tasks off, there is no separate bookkeeping step to forget.

Common questions

Is maintenance tracking free?

Yes, completely free on all plans including the free tier. Plus unlocks the full range of recurrence intervals.

Can I set tasks for specific contractors?

Yes — you can add contractor notes to any task and link it to a saved contractor in your rolodex.

Does Steadwell suggest maintenance tasks?

The setup wizard asks about your home's systems and age, and we recommend common tasks based on that information.

Can I track tasks across multiple properties?

Yes — Pro users can track maintenance for up to 3 properties, each with their own task list and history.

How often should I do home maintenance?

It depends on the task. Replace the HVAC filter about every 90 days, service heating and cooling once a year, clean gutters twice a year, flush the water heater annually, clear the dryer vent yearly and test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Inspect the roof after major storms.

What home maintenance is easiest to forget?

The jobs with long gaps and no obvious warning: dryer vent cleaning, water heater flushing, gutter cleaning, sump pump testing and caulking around windows and doors. These are the ones worth putting on a recurring schedule.

Do I need an account to use the maintenance tracker?

Yes. A free account is required so your tasks, reminders and service history are saved to your home. The free plan has no time limit and does not ask for a credit card.
