Home Maintenance is an ongoing effort for sure....here is a list of the common task you may want to consider throughout the year.  

• Get your HVAC unit serviced and replace filters as needed. 
• Check your hot water heater for leaks.
• Clean your garbage disposal by grinding ice cubes, then flushing with hot water and baking soda.
• Check fireplaces and dryer vents for clogs.
• Have your air vents cleaned.
• Look under sinks for potential leaks.
• Touch up paint throughout.
• Clean gutters of back ups and debris
• Have there been hail storms - get your roof inspected
• Replace the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Install a smoke detector on every floor of your home.

• Powerwash Siding & Windows.
• Do you have a septic, keep up with the maintenance reports and get it pumped as needed.
• Carpet cleaning and seal your grout and granite as needed.
• Update landscaping and prune trees and shrubs to prevent pests.
