Is this a physical product?

No. Everything is digital and downloads immediately. Nothing is shipped.

What is the difference between the tiers?

Starter is the Control Center workbook plus the maintenance system, in printable and fillable form. Complete adds the Systems Passport, Inventory Vault, Project Toolkit, First 90 Days, Handoff File, the spreadsheet dashboard and the illustrated walkthroughs.

Yes, and upgrading credits what you already paid — Starter to Complete is $10, not another $27. You never buy the same thing twice.

Yes. Every document comes in printer-friendly US Letter, and the Control Center also comes in A4.

Can I fill it in on a computer or tablet?

Yes. The fillable edition has live form fields on every page — nearly four thousand of them — and works in any PDF reader that supports forms. Save a copy to keep what you type.

Does the spreadsheet work in Google Sheets?

Yes. It is built with portable formulas and no macros, and a ready-made Google Sheets version is included alongside the Excel file.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to keep. Your download link arrives by email, never expires, and always serves the current version of every file.

Is this only for new homeowners?

No. There is a dedicated First 90 Days guide for people who just moved in, but the system is built for anyone who has owned a home long enough to lose track of something.

Does it tell me how to perform home repairs?

No, deliberately. Every task in it is an observation, a record, or a decision to book someone qualified. Electrical, gas, roofing, structural, HVAC and plumbing work belongs with appropriately qualified professionals.

No. It is undated throughout, so it stays useful year after year and you can start in any month.

How do I receive my files?

After payment you go straight to a download page, and you also receive an email with your access link.

What is the refund policy?

Fourteen days, no reasons needed. If a file will not open or is not what was described, we will fix it or refund you in full for thirty days. Full terms: https://www.homeownercontrolcenter.com/legal/refunds
