📋 Maintain

The best fix is the one you never have to make. Regular maintenance prevents 80% of common home problems.

Maintenance Philosophy

1. Scheduled checks — Monthly, seasonal, and annual tasks
2. Prevention over repair — Small effort now saves big costs later
3. Documentation — Track what you’ve done and when
4. Budget planning — Know what’s coming before it breaks
