Home Maintenance for the Person Who Cannot Remember Which Filter Was Changed
Shop disclosure: Smart Files Shop (Etsy: SmartFilesShopUS) is operated by Jaceal, LLC, which also publishes this site. Links below go to live Etsy listings we sell. We earn the listing price on those sales. This page is a buyer’s guide, not a ranking. Not tax, legal, insurance, or contractor advice. AI-assisted draft; reviewed against the shop’s live Etsy catalog.
Filters, warranties, declutter, contents inventory, and a move — live Excel, Google Sheets, and printables, one job per file.
What this page is
If you are building a digital-product shop, this is what a working home-ops template line looks like from the buyer’s side: a hub file for due dates, a lookup binder for sizes and paint, and honest adjacency (the bundle includes the car and the pets). Pair it with our digital products guide. If you just need the filter log, start with section 1. Sibling guides: church finance templates · landlord and seller books.

Home maintenance for the person who cannot remember which filter was changed
You changed an HVAC filter. You did not write down the size, the date, or which unit. Three months later the house feels dusty, the furnace warranty may have lapsed, and the hallway paint is “whatever they used in 2019.” That is a home with a dozen clocks and no log — not a character flaw.
You do not need a property-management app. You need files that match the jobs: when the filter is due, what size it is, what left as a donation, what you own if an adjuster calls, and a remodel or move budget that is not a text thread.
Smart Files Shop (Etsy: SmartFilesShopUS; also on Gumroad for the home-maintenance hub) sells digital downloads for that household. Everything linked below was live and active on Etsy when this page was last updated (28 August 2026). Most listings are $6.99 USD; renovation is $7.99; the five-tracker bundle is $14.99. Instant download — nothing ships. These are organizational templates, not contractor, insurance, or tax software. A licensed inspector, insurer, and tax preparer still win if numbers disagree.
Four piles people keep mashing into one notes app:
- The cycle — HVAC and water filters, batteries, seasonal tasks, warranties.
- The facts — filter sizes, paint colors, where the deed lives, spare keys.
- The stuff — keep / donate / sell; a contents list; a cleaning list that is not blank.
- The projects — a remodel with quotes, or a move with numbered boxes.
Start with the pile that already cost you a weekend. You do not have to buy all nine files.
1. The hub: filter due dates, warranties, spend
Home Maintenance Tracker Spreadsheet | Seasonal HVAC Warranty Repair Log Excel Google Sheets
Listing 4533406672 · $6.99
This 12-tab Excel and Google Sheets workbook (plus a browser dashboard) is the shop’s main home-upkeep file: seasonal tasks, appliances with warranty days-left, repairs, service contacts, and a Filters & Consumables sheet that calculates the next due date. It is for the homeowner tracking that from memory — not an inspection, and not a claim that the 1%-of-home-value budget is an insurer rule.
2. Lookup: filter size, paint, where the papers are
Home Reference Binder Printable | House Manual Warranty Filter Log PDF
Listing 4536202529 · $6.99
If the maintenance tracker answers “when,” this 29-page fillable binder plus companion spreadsheet answers “what size is the filter”: house facts, paint swatches, filter / bulb sizes, a document locator (where the deed lives — not account numbers), renewals, and spare keys. It is a lookup binder, not a task tracker, and it never asks for an SSN or a password.
3. Keep, donate, sell — and a donation value you can find in April
Home Declutter Spreadsheet | Keep Donate Sell Donation Tax Log Excel Google Sheets
Listing 4483586050 · $6.99
A 14-tab Excel and Google Sheets workbook (plus a browser dashboard): room-by-room status, a Keep / Donate / Sell / Toss log, and a donation tracker that records fair-market value by date and organization. It is for the household whose donate pile is still in the garage and whose receipts will not survive until April — a paper trail you fill in, not tax advice, and not a Schedule A form.
4. If an adjuster calls: what you owned
Home Inventory Printable | 29-Page Insurance Documentation Kit
Listing 4536203229 · $6.99
This 29-page fillable binder plus companion spreadsheet is a contents inventory for insurance: room-by-room logs, high-value items with appraisal and rider tracking, a photo and receipt index, and a claim-filing worksheet with an adjuster log. Build it before you need it. It is not a declutter kit, not a house-facts binder, not a maintenance schedule, and not a filed claim.
5. Cleaning lists with the tasks already written
House Cleaning Checklist Printable | Room By Room Deep Clean Fillable PDF
Listing 4535490865 · $6.99
A 51-page fillable cleaning binder plus companion spreadsheet: daily and weekly rhythms, seasonal deep-clean lists, and room-by-room pages with the tasks already printed — you work the list; you do not invent one. Type into the form fields or print and write. It is housekeeping, not a substitute for the maintenance tracker above.
6. A remodel, not a filter change
Home Renovation Budget Spreadsheet | Contractor Quotes Remodel Log Excel Sheets
Listing 4483368692 · $7.99
A 12-tab Excel and Google Sheets workbook plus a browser dashboard: room-by-room budget vs. actual, contractor quotes side by side, milestones, and a simple purchase-vs-after-repair-value worksheet if you are rehabbing a rental. It is for a kitchen or bath that already has three quotes in email — a budgeting template, not a contractor bid, and not underwriting.
7. Spreadsheet for the move
Moving Planner Spreadsheet | Packing List Budget Checklist Tracker Excel Google Sheets Instant Download
Listing 4533105909 · $6.99
An 11-tab Excel and Google Sheets file: set the move date once; days remaining, budget vs. spent, tasks done, and boxes packed calculate. An 8-week countdown, box inventory, utilities list, and mover-quote comparison sit in the same workbook — a household move planner, not a vacation packing list.
8. Paper for the boxes
Moving Packing Binder Printable | Box Labels Checklist Inventory Fillable PDF
Listing 4536202979 · $6.99
The printable twin of the moving spreadsheet: 29 fillable pages plus a companion sheet, with countdown checklists, a numbered box-contents log, and cut-out labels you tape on the box. It does not duplicate the moving spreadsheet (budget-first) or the shop’s vacation packing-list printable. Keep the log so you know what is in box #14.
9. The household set
Home Maintenance Bundle Spreadsheet | Seasonal HVAC Warranty Repair Excel Sheets
Listing 4535475225 · $14.99
Five separately sold workbooks in one ZIP: Home Maintenance, Home Organization / Declutter, Moving Planner, plus Vehicle Maintenance and Pet Health — each with Excel and a browser dashboard. Honest scope: two of the five files are the car and the pets, not the house. Buy the set for that whole pack; buy the singles if you only need filters, declutter, or a move.
How to choose
| If your actual problem is… | Start here |
|---|---|
| Which filter is due, HVAC / warranty / repair spend | Home Maintenance Tracker |
| Filter size, paint color, where the deed is | Home Reference Binder |
| Keep / donate / sell and a donation-value log | Home Declutter Spreadsheet |
| Contents list before a fire, flood, or theft | Home Inventory Printable |
| Room-by-room cleaning with the tasks already written | House Cleaning Checklist |
| Kitchen / bath remodel: budget vs. actual and quotes | Home Renovation Budget |
| Move date, moving budget, box inventory in a sheet | Moving Planner Spreadsheet |
| Cut-out box labels and a paper countdown | Moving Packing Binder |
| Maintenance + declutter + moving (+ car + pets) as a set | Home Maintenance Bundle |
A practical stack is the maintenance tracker plus the reference binder. Add declutter for the garage pile, the inventory printable before a claim, renovation only with a named project, and a moving file only with a date. The bundle is the set — including vehicle and pet trackers — not a sixth house job.
Files open in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. Several also open in LibreOffice Calc. Printable binders are fillable PDFs plus a companion .xlsx.
Love Guarantee and custom work
Every listing on this page carries the same 14-day Love Guarantee.
Love Guarantee (14 days): Message Smart Files Shop if the file is not right — free fix, free small customization, or refund.
Free small customizations (typical examples): rename a column, add a header, change a filter or appliance label, swap a room name.
Paid customs — shop-wide / typical menu; message for a quote before any extra charge. Individual listings may quote lower for tweaks already in scope for that file — always by quote, never a surprise invoice. For paid customs, timeline is usually 1–3 business days after we lock the brief.
- Light custom $15–$29 — house name / header on every tab; extra categories
- Standard custom $39–$79 — extra rooms or properties, a summary tab, a filter log laid out the way your HVAC tech writes it
- Deep custom $89–$149 by scope — branding, data import, multi-property
The shop says yes to “add our filter sizes to the home maintenance tracker.” It does not take contractor dispatch, insurance filing, or household-management outsourcing. One free polish pass is included on paid customs after first delivery.
What these files will not do
They will not connect to a smart thermostat or send a reminder text. They will not inspect the roof, file a claim, or replace a mover’s inventory. They will keep a homeowner from reconstructing last fall’s filter change out of a photo roll.
If you want the files, buy them on Etsy through the live links above. This page is a guide, not a checkout.
FAQ: Home Maintenance Templates
Do I need every file on this page?
No. Start with the maintenance tracker plus the reference binder. Add declutter, inventory, renovation, or a moving file only when that pile exists. The bundle includes vehicle and pet trackers — buy it for that whole pack, not as a sixth house job.
Is this insurance or contractor software?
No. Organizational templates only. A licensed inspector, insurer, and tax preparer still win if numbers disagree. The inventory printable is not a filed claim. The renovation workbook is not a contractor bid.
What is the Love Guarantee?
Every listing on this page carries the same 14-day Love Guarantee: message Smart Files Shop if the file is not right — free fix, free small customization, or refund. Customs pricing is not uniform across listings; individual listings may quote lower. Always by quote.
Can you add our filter sizes to the tracker?
Yes. That is a typical free small customization. Larger work (extra properties, a summary tab, a filter log laid out the way your HVAC tech writes it) is a paid custom, quoted before any extra charge. For paid customs, timeline is usually 1–3 business days after we lock the brief.
