A new home won’t look new forever, neither will it function the same as when you won’t get it. Maintenance is really inevitable – you have to do it at one point or another. There are a number of things you need to consider when you want to perform maintenance. One of those things is the need to have a budget allocated for the maintenance of certain aspects of your home.
First off, you need to know the things in your new house which will need maintenance or replacements at some point in time.
- Air Conditioner
- Deck
- Dishwasher
- Dryer
- Fencing
- Furnace
- Gas stove
- Gas water heater
- Gutters
- Refrigerator
- Roof
- Washing machine
- Windows
Now, there are a number of things you should do after you’ve identified the components which will need maintenance or replacement. We’ll show you:
- Make sure to estimate the cost of maintaining or replacing them.
- Determine the life expectancy of each component you’ve listed.
- Determine each component’s current age.
- Calculate the remaining life expectancy that’s estimated.
- In order of estimated remaining life expectancy and plan, rank your components and plan the next five years’ expected expenses.
- Be aware of expense clusters, which may all accumulate in a brief period of time.
