めんてどき: A Maintenance Calendar for the House
A Japanese homeowner app estimates when major repairs are due and what they may cost, using a house’s age and equipment.
Field notes
The planner builds a house-specific schedule from construction year, equipment, and 28 stated maintenance cycles. Its sample covers items including exterior-wall painting, slate-roof painting, wallpaper, and an EcoCute water heater, with a ten-year estimate ranging from ¥6.95 million to ¥15.6 million. The site also describes records containing photos, costs, and contractor names, which can recalculate later dates and serve as a maintenance history when selling the property.
