Building a custom home design requires a lot of planning and well-thought-out execution, but once that phase is complete, how well you maintain it will determine the continuing value of your home. As a custom homeowner, here is what your housekeeping checklist should have to ensure that your home is in top condition for a very long time.
Custom Home Design: Home Maintenance
HVAC
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning, and this system’s purpose is to improve the indoor air quality in your home and provide balanced thermal comfort. It is recommended that you change HVAC air filters every three months – more frequently during high pollen season or if the house has residents with allergies. Also, check the HVAC condenser to remove every trace of debris and leaves, and finally, hire a specialist who can do a thorough maintenance check for duct and drain lines leaks.
Roofing
The roof of every home is one of the often-overlooked places for home maintenance; that’s why we’re bringing it to your attention. Most people are wary of climbing onto the roof, so your best bet is to hire a professional who can clean off any debris and identify any damage.
Remember that a leaking roof can cause damage to the interior, resulting in expensive repairs; hence, a roof inspection has to be a part of your annual maintenance tasks.
Kitchen
There are a few annual chores to be completed around the kitchen. During this process, vacuum the refrigerator coils, clean the oven, and clean the sink traps (curved pipe). Next, soak the filter and range hood in warm water and cleaning agents to remove the grease. This deep clean needs to be done at least once every six months to maintain the standards of the kitchen.
Plumbing
At least once every month, get in the habit of inspecting all the bathrooms in your custom home. During this inspection, identify leaking faucets, clogged toilets, and lots more that needs to be replaced, fixed, or cleaned out.
Landscaping
Ornamental features, planting trees and shrubs give a home a pleasant appeal, increases its value, and makes the land appear more attractive, but it also needs maintenance. Besides maintaining the plants with the usual weeding, pruning, planting, etc., irrigation systems are checked for leaks, and they maintain proper coverage.
