New Home Maintenance

Here is a list of routine maintenance that will need to be done to your home annually to keep it functioning smoothly and to contain any problems before they get out of hand.

Most of these tasks are very simple, but it is important to stay on top of them.

Change out filters. Most heating and air conditioning systems  will need their filters change annually.

Do not let dust and dirt accumulate, it can ruin the finish on blinds, cabinets, countertops, floors, sinks, tubs walls, tile, carpeting and other surfaces.  if it does accumulate, make sure you remove it with a cleanser that will not scratch or harm the finishes.

Clean out gutters and downspout of leaves, dirt and other objects.  By doing this you will prolong the life of your gutters, siding and other exterior surfaces.

Keep in mind that you will receive a warranty from the builder but if you do not perform this necessary maintenance you may void your warranty. For example, if your roof develops a leak due to faulty workmanship that will be covered, but if the leak developed because you have never cleaned out your gutters and they have backed up creating a leak than you will be covering the repairs yourself.
