Inspect your roof: Regularly inspecting your roof for missing or damaged shingles, leaks, and other issues can prevent water damage and costly repairs.
Clean gutters and downspouts: Keeping your gutters and downspouts clean and free of debris can prevent water damage and help with proper drainage.
Check for pests: Regularly inspecting your home for pests such as termites, ants, and rodents can prevent damage to your home's structure and help maintain a healthy living environment.
Maintain HVAC systems: Regularly cleaning and servicing your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems can improve energy efficiency and prevent costly repairs.
Paint and stain exterior surfaces: Applying a fresh coat of paint or stain to the exterior of your home can protect against weather damage and improve curb appeal.
Inspect and maintain appliances: Regularly inspecting and maintaining appliances such as your refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher can prevent breakdowns and extend their lifespan.
Check for leaks: Regularly inspecting your home for leaks in the plumbing, roof, and other areas can prevent water damage and mold growth.
Keep the yard clean: Regularly maintaining your yard by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes and trees, and removing weeds can improve the overall appearance of your home.
