Moving In Checklist Printable

Just got the keys? Do the first 90 days in the right order. This 9-page printable Moving-In / New Home Setup Checklist is written by a working Florida handyman — safety first, then systems, then comfort — so you don't learn your new house the expensive way.

Inside you'll find: • How to use guide with the first-30-days logic — why locks, detectors, and shutoffs come before unpacking and paint • Week 1 safety sweep: change/rekey locks, clear garage opener codes, test smoke/CO detectors, find the main water shutoff + breaker panel + A/C filter size, test GFCI outlets, fire extinguisher, and clean the dryer vent end to end • Systems discovery record (fill-in): HVAC model/filter size, water heater age, shutoff locations, breaker panel map, septic vs. sewer, irrigation controller, and hurricane shutter storage — the page new owners actually need • Deep-clean-before-furniture checklist plus a Florida pest baseline: palmetto bugs, termite signs to photograph and date, attic entry points, and when to start a licensed pest service • Fix-first list: the 10 small repairs to do in month 1 — running toilet, dripping faucets, caulk, door stops, toilet bolts, loose rails, weatherstripping and more — each with an honest DIY vs. pro call • Setup checklists for kitchen and bath essentials, a utility transfers & address-change tracker (write-in), and a step-by-step insurance photo inventory how-to • Florida new-home extras: hurricane kit basics, flood and hurricane-deductible insurance notes, homestead exemption reminder (file by March 1), and pool safety if equipped • 30-60-90 day plan plus a first-year maintenance starter calendar that hands off to monthly habits

Real trade detail throughout: a prior owner's lint is your dryer fire risk, a rocking toilet breaks its wax ring and rots the floor, standard Florida homeowners insurance does not cover flood, and most flood policies carry a 30-day waiting period. Trade-grade, specific, and zero fluff.

Perfect for first-time buyers, anyone relocating to Florida, snowbirds opening a second home, and as a closing gift from realtors. Pairs with our Annual Home Maintenance Planner & Checklist for the full first year and beyond.
