As it’s becoming more expensive to own a home and harder find to contractors, knowing how to care for your home is more valuable than ever.
For many of us, it seems the thing we hate more than home maintenance is figuring out what needs to be done when. So many homeowners feel deeply overwhelmed by the whole concept.
Most homeowners I know either ignore home maintenance until something breaks (expensive and stressful) or feel constantly anxious about what they should be doing but are not (exhausting and overwhelming).
It’s easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed.
It’s so easy to feel anxious about all the things you “should” be doing to your home.
Maybe you spent a lot of money on emergency repairs that could have been prevented. Maybe you’ve tried to get organized before, but the systems were too complicated or time-consuming. Maybe you have ideas about the kinds of people who are able to maintain their home and you don’t feel like you fit in that group.
I get it. I actually created this program for myself. I am lucky that I have a lot of the know-how, but I was never consistent enough to avoid emergency repairs.
So, I created a program with the following tenets in mind.
Simplicity because it needs to be doable for real people with busy lives.
Effectiveness because it needs to actually protect your home.
Community because some tasks are just easier when you’re not tackling them alone.
There is a way to tackle home maintenance that actually works better than the reactive or anxiety-inducing approaches you hate and that feels genuinely manageable.
You can become a confident homeowner without sacrificing your weekends or peace of mind.
This is about learning to create a maintenance routine you can actually sustain.
When home maintenance feels overwhelming and contractors are hard to find, it’s easy to feel anxious. It’s easy to just ignore problems until they become emergencies. It’s easy to distract ourselves or get discouraged. Or to feel like you need to become an expert in everything to properly care for your home.
But those approaches make things worse.
The long-term fix is this: gaining an understanding of what your home needs and works AND how to consistently meet your home’s needs while also meeting your own.
If you want to stop worrying about your home, you start with understanding it and yourself.
You build confidence.
You develop a clear understanding of what your home needs. You build skills with our just-in-time tutorials. You join our community work sessions where we tackle challenging tasks together. You figure out how to get stuff done on a schedule that actually works for you.
Knowledge is no longer overwhelming, it becomes empowering.
In your Starter Kit, you won’t learn complex technical skills or be expected to become a professional contractor overnight. We aren’t trying to turn you into a DIY influencer.
You’ll learn the fundamentals, the smart approach, about practical maintenance, about the foundation you need for long-term care of your home without the stress or the constant worry. Results you can sustain and feel great about achieving. In short, you’ll focus on what really matters to you and your home.
In our Maintain program, you will have all you need at your fingertips to follow through on the tasks – a calendar, instructions, and support. Just login and follow along. It is that easy.
This is home maintenance for real people.
“I don’t have time.”
“I am not handy.”
“Why not just hire a pro?”
We begin each task with a quick inspection checklist. That way, if life is busy and you do not note anything on the checklist, you can put it off until the task rolls around again.
We also built in time in our home maintenance calendar quarterly to catch up on any tasks you might have missed.
No problem! With our guides and support, you’ll feel confident in no time.
Most regular home maintenance tasks regular less skill than you might imagine. For each task, we have carefully examined for skills needed. We then create mini lessons so that you know how to drill, caulk, or wrench successfully. We also have scheduled live chat events in which you can send pictures and ask questions!
The average costs to maintain a single-family home are now at an all-time high and in some areas it is becoming difficult to find people to hire for smaller jobs. The costs to replace or repair items is even higher…
That said, you may decide you would like to hire some tasks out from time to time. Main+Tenacious provides you the knowledge needed so that you can confidently hire out those tasks.
Understanding the basics saves money—and helps you hire smarter.
Tackle Tough Tasks Together

That’s why we’ve created something unique: scheduled community work sessions where members tackle challenging tasks together.

Join our live community events where homeowners across the country work on similar projects simultaneously. Share tips, celebrate victories, and find motivation in our supportive text-based chat. Whether you’re clearing gutters or servicing appliances, you’ll never have to face a challenging task alone.
Start Smart, Build Strong
We start with foundational tasks that make future tasks so much easier. Nothing deflates you more than discovering there are 1000 tasks to be done before you can even start the task you originally set out to do! Then we move on to the core maintenance tasks most homes need, teaching you to quickly assess each task so that you can spend the first year doing the tasks your home needs to be done sooner than later.
Your Clear Path Forward
Our structured approach helps you prioritize effectively, so you’ll know exactly what needs attention now and what can wait. No more guesswork, no more surprises—just clear, actionable steps toward a well-maintained home.
