If you let little repairs build up year after year, maintaining your new house might become a massive undertaking. The builder will be responsible for most faults and defects in a brand-new custom house. Homeowners, however, are responsible for carrying out any necessary maintenance.
Keeping up with routine maintenance can keep your home's systems running smoothly and increase their effectiveness. There will be no drop in value upon resale, and your structure will survive longer.
Upkeep Checklist for the House
Long-term maintenance has to be broken down into monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, and yearly categories. As a custom home builder, we will discuss some of the essential maintenance tasks we suggest.
Items Needed for Regular Monthly Upkeep
- Monthly upkeep may seem painful, but it saves time and money. You may put your faith in us since these solutions are easy to implement and will immediately have a noticeable impact.
- Products we think you'll like are listed below.
- Have the filter and range hood cleaned out.
- Knobs and handles should be snuggled up if they are dangling. Hence, you may be sure that no handles will be damaged.
- Throwing some lemon slices down the garbage disposal may help clean it. This measure guarantees the lack of odour in the future.
- Keep grease from building up quickly by neglecting to wipe off the glass surface of your stove.
- Make sure your home security systems are in working order.
- Empty the lint trap and vacuum out the dryer.
Repairs and Upkeep for Your House Twice a Year
Maintaining your property with semiannual upkeep will ensure everything stays in working condition for the year. Your work so far will increase your home's durability and market value.
These are some of the most often performed semiannual duties related to custom house maintenance.
- To clean the walls and baseboards, wet them down. Get the tile grout spotless.
- Clear up the vent that your dryer uses to release exhaust fumes.
- The dishwasher and filter cleaning is overdue.
- Assume responsibility for the upkeep of heating and cooling systems.
Household Items That Should Be Cleaned and Repaired Once a Year
Our housekeeping to-do list still has a few items to be checked off. Generally speaking, once a year is sufficient for the tasks listed below.
You may get a jump on some of the upkeep work by doing it in the winter. Most of the tasks on the list are expected to be completed during the warmer months of spring and summer.
- Make sure the land gently descends away from home.
- Spring is the best time to clean the gutters and downspouts.
- Check for any missing shakes or shingles.
