You can prevent future breakdowns and extend the longevity of your custom house for decades with the following routine maintenance tasks.
It must be exciting to walk inside your custom home, especially after you have settled in. After all, a new, fresh home is a joy you must cherish. While this property has no history besides its distinct construction and present existence, it will also have to stand the test of time to be financially valuable. Thankfully, you can prevent future breakdowns and extend the longevity of your house for decades with the following routine maintenance tasks.
Doors and Windows
Doors and windows are items you should maintain. A stiff and leaky window or door could leak out the air you wish to keep inside your home. For instance, wiping a silicone lubricant along a rigid window could ease the problem. For any leaks, you could seal them with caulking, weather strips, and more.
Your Roofing
The roofing of your custom home requires a decent amount of attention. You should routinely inspect for missing shingles, leaks, discoloration from mold, fungus, or mildew, and other types of damage. Moreover, inspect your vent pipes, the metal pipes that stick outside of your roof, for any rust or damage.
Your Custom Home’s Walls
Over time, the walls of your custom home will experience wear and tear. A dent or rubbed-off paint may be inevitable. However, caulking, sanding, or repainting is a successful and quick fix for your property.
HVAC System
Another routine maintenance task for your custom home is your HVAC system. Your heating and air conditioning system requires constant maintenance to keep functioning at its maximum. Make sure to swap out the air filters once every two or three months, and contact a professional to help clear out your air ducts and evaluate for rust or other problems.
Lastly, don’t forget your custom home’s landscape! Keep your landscape clean by trimming trees and shrubbery around three inches from your home. Also, keep tree branches from extending over your home’s roof, and water your plants to keep them thriving!
