Ah, you’ve arrived. Savor the decorating process, including unpacking all those boxes. Embrace projects like adding a new layer of paint to a spare bedroom. Get to know your neighbors. And when you have a moment, step out to the curb and take it all in. That’s your home.
Which means you’ll want to take care of it with routine maintenance.
Unlike an apartment or other types of rental residences, YOU are the maintenance person on duty. That’s doesn’t mean you – or your spouse or other family members – are alone in this. There’s help from skilled experts for every aspect of your home that might need repair. But there are also some simple tasks that you can do to help make sure your residence is home sweet home for as long as you live there.
Below, you will find Part 2 of our New Home Maintenance Checklist, which covers Spring and Summer, including the monthly checklist that we covered in Part 1, which definitely bears repeating.
