135: Home Maintenance Tips for All Homeowners
“…67% have experienced repair issues with their properties…”
Home maintenance is a HUGE responsibility to any homeowner. If the maintenance is not kept… it could be a very costly expense. On today’s episode with Real Estate with the Soul, Lori shares some easy tips and a list of things to keep up with.
Here is a list of certain areas of your home that you should be concerned with in terms of maintenance:
Outside the home
The roof - have it inspected from time to time and look for suspect areas that look loose or damaged.
Gutters - finished look and if you have them installed you don’t want them full of debris because they can fall and cause damage.
Siding - stuff you find on the side of your house when you have a wood like product. Or could be stucco. It protects the property, keeps mold out of the property
Trees - yikes. Maintain those trees, thin them out and keep them trimmed.
Inside the homeWater Heater & Plumbing - maintain the plumbing and if you have a backed up issue get it taken care of.
Water heater- watch for rust
Dryer vent - this is a good one that is missed a lot! Keep this vent clear- potential fire issues
Stove/hood - maintain and cleaned - could be a fire hazard.
refrigerators - keep them maintained and coils inspected
Electric - check wires and maintained. Not a bad idea to have an electric inspection from time to time
Foundation of the homeWalk your foundation and you’ll see if there are any major cracks or issues.
Air conditioner / heater- check the filters. Change those every 60-90 days. And get the ducts clean now and then.
It all matters - if you don’t maintain the property it could lead to much LARGER and costly mess. Have you started your maintenance check list?
