Handyman Checklist Project Roadmap

Purpose: This ledger tracks all property improvements required to bring the house to "finished" status—meaning ready for sale, rental conversion, or comfortable long-term habitation.

Three Goals: (1) See at a glance everything that needs addressing. (2) Calculate total costs for budgeting and borrowing decisions. (3) Establish a realistic timeline that works within financial constraints.

Project Timeline

Phase 1: Assessment & Critical Repairs Timeline TBD

Structural assessment first—rotting beams determine scope of everything. Then address electrical and other safety/code issues. This phase establishes total budget needs.

Includes: Beam & porch repair, electrical upgrade

Phase 2: Systems & Infrastructure Timeline TBD

Windows, HVAC, laundry room remodel, roof, fireplace. Work that benefits from being coordinated with Phase 1 contractors or requires wall access.

Includes: Windows, HVAC, laundry room, roof inspection, fireplace/chimney, lighting (if electrical work still active)
Completed: Plumbing (Jan 2026)

Phase 3: Finishes & Cosmetic Timeline TBD

Paint, flooring, bathroom and kitchen updates. The work that makes everything look finished. Only after wall-penetrating work complete.

Includes: Interior painting, flooring, bathroom updates, kitchen renovations

Phase 4: Exterior & Final Prep Timeline TBD

Weather-dependent exterior work and final sale preparation (if applicable). Curb appeal and presentation.

Includes: Driveway, power washing, landscaping, deep cleaning, staging
