Hi, I'm Denise, the founder of My Home Exec.
For over two decades,
For over two decades, I worked in the residential home building industry, specifically in construction, quality control and warranty. I wasn't just sitting at a desk; I was in the trenches. I walked thousands of homes, managed warranty claims, and saw firsthand exactly what breaks, why it breaks, and how much it costs to fix.
I learned a hard truth: Most homeowners are overwhelmed because they don't have a clue what it takes to maintain their homes.
When you buy a car, it comes with a maintenance schedule. When you buy a home—the most expensive asset you will ever own—you get a set of keys and a "good luck."
I created My Home Exec to change that.
Who This Is For
I don’t write for the "Pinterest Perfect" homeowner. I write for the real-world homeowner who has a house, a busy life, and a budget to manage.
Home Buyers
If you just bought a resale home and don’t know what the previous owner neglected, here is where you start.
Current Home Owners
If you are tired of paying contractors $150 just to flip a breaker...
Property Owners
If you want to manage your investment without spending your whole weekend on tracking repairs…
You are in the right place.
My Philosophy
I believe in Offense, not Defense. Most people wait for a leak to call a plumber (Defense). A Home Exec would disconnect the hose in October so the pipe never bursts (Offense).
I’m here to give you the checklists, the schedules, and the "insider hacks"—like why you should use a leaf blower on your dryer vent, or why you should never use salt on your driveway.
