A home maintenance schedule that remembers for you

Tell Mason about your home and it builds a seasonal maintenance schedule, reminds you before each job is due and keeps a log of what was done and when. Anything hazardous goes straight to a professional.

Sample result

A sample autumn checklist

The request
1990s two-storey house, gas furnace, tank water heater, in a cold-winter climate. What should I do this autumn?

Autumn

JobWhoNote
Replace the furnace filterYouEvery 1–3 months in the heating season; check the size printed on the old one
Furnace safety check and serviceLicensed HVAC technicianOnce a year before the cold sets in; gas appliances are not DIY
Test smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms; replace batteriesYouPress the test button on each one; replace any alarm past its expiry date
Clear the gutters and downspoutsYou, or a pro for second-storey workUse a stable ladder and a helper, or hire it out
Shut off and drain outdoor tapsYouPrevents frozen pipes; leave the outside tap open after shutting the indoor valve
Flush the water heaterYou, if the manual allowsFollow the manual; call a plumber if the drain valve will not open

If something is wrong

If you ever smell gas, leave the house first and call your gas company’s emergency line or 911 from outside. If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside into fresh air and call 911. Mason will not troubleshoot either one.

What Mason does

  • Builds a seasonal schedule from your home’s age, systems and climate: filters, gutters, smoke alarms, the water heater and more.
  • Reminds you before each job and explains the safe, do-it-yourself ones step by step.
  • Keeps a maintenance log with dates, costs and who did the work, which is handy when you sell.
  • Helps you write a clear request for quotes when a job needs a professional.

What Mason won’t do

  • Gas smell, sparking or burning electrics, structural cracks or sagging, a carbon-monoxide alarm, or spreading mould: Mason tells you to stop, get safe and call a qualified professional or emergency services. It never talks you through a repair.
  • Does not hire contractors, book appointments or pay anyone for you.
  • Is not a home inspection and cannot see hidden problems. Get a licensed inspector for that.

How it works

  1. Describe your home

    Type of home, rough age, heating and cooling, water heater, roof, and anything you know needs attention.

  2. Get your schedule

    Mason lays out the year season by season, marking which jobs are DIY and which need a pro.

  3. Stay on it

    Reminders arrive before each job, and you tell Mason when it is done so the log stays current.

Questions

Will it tell me how to fix things myself?

For safe, routine jobs (filters, alarm batteries, caulking, draining an outdoor tap) yes, step by step. For gas, electrical, structural, carbon-monoxide or mould problems it tells you to call a qualified professional, every time.

Can it find me a contractor?

It helps you describe the job clearly so quotes are comparable, and keeps the details in your log. You choose and hire the contractor.

Does it work for renters?

Yes. It keeps track of what you are responsible for, reminds you of the rest, and helps you write a clear repair request to your landlord.

Can it handle more than one property?

Yes. Each home gets its own schedule and log.
