A new home requires a number of maintenance projects to be done on it if you want it to remain as close to new as possible. There are some things you may need to do daily, weekly, monthly or yearly and there are also some different types of maintenance that you should do on your home. You can avoid expensive repairs and uncomfortable circumstances by simply keeping your scheduled maintenance.
There are 5 common types of maintenance, which include:
- There’s routine maintenance, which are assigned to be taken at regular intervals, on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, like landscaping and cleaning.
- There’s preventive maintenance, which can help you to identify and treat potential problems before they develop into huge dilemmas.
- There’s corrective maintenance, which can be avoided by performing routine and corrective maintenance. This is the maintenance stage that involves fixing problems that have arisen.
- There’s cosmetic maintenance, which is simply beautifying areas of the home for a specific event.
- There’s deferred maintenance, which is pretty much maintenance that is rescheduled to a later date, because of issues like insufficient funds, weather, etc.
Many times, there are areas that have become neglected areas as a result of the fact that there isn’t an obvious sign of problematic issues. Your new home may not immediately appear to have any problems, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t require care and attention to ensure that problems don’t occur. We’ll show you some of the areas that are most commonly neglected when performing home maintenance.
- There are the roofs which people tend to assume don’t need maintenance, because there is no sign of leaking.
- There are hot water heaters, which can take just several minutes and save you quite a large amount of money in repairs.
- There are balconies, which tend to break down after extended periods of exposure to the elements, so they need to pay special attention to.
- There are light fixtures, which are usually very minor to inspect, are still often neglected.
