Congratulations on your new home! Your home is one of your biggest investments so maintaining it is a must!
Home maintenance can feel stressful especially if you are a new homeowner. It is quite different
But worry
Roof inspection
Roofs have
Systems check up
Getting a biannual checkup and servicing for your HVAC system is healthy. Cleaning to avoid damage or fixing any signs of damage right away will be much cheaper than replacing your system.
Check your boilers and see if any accumulated sediment needs to be cleared out. Also, check your smoke alarms and other detectors if they are working properly. These initiatives won’t just save you money but would potentially save your life too! If you have a sump pump, make sure
Pest control
Be sure to invest in preventive pest control which is better than dealing with pest-related problems that can damage your home severely.
Visual Inspection
Also, be sure to put time and effort into doing visual inspections to your entire home. Check your chimneys if you have one, be sure to regularly clean them. Check your plumbing regularly if they have any leaks that can damage your walls, floors, ceilings etc.
Check if there are any concrete cracks, it may be a sign of water pooling. Also look for signs of peeling or chipping paint. Check if your home needs a touch-up or repaint as it will not just make your home looks nicer but will also protect your shingles from water damage and rot.
Keeping your home well-maintained maybe not as easy as you want it to be. However, by doing so can save you lots of money, time and effort. In the long run, keeping your dream home nice and clean can give you the same joy as you had when you first bought it.
