Home Maintenance Checklist to Keep Your Home New
Moving into a brand new home brings a special sense of satisfaction that you can’t get from an older home. In order to keep them looking their best, new homes near Chattanooga, TN. need regular care and attention.
Schedule these reminders in your calendar to help you maintain your beautiful new home in tip-top shape.
Be alert for leaks and spills.
Check regularly for leaks in the roof, under sinks, around water-using appliances and in the basement or crawl space. Have repairs done immediately if you spot a problem. Also be sure to wipe up any spills or pet stains as soon as they happen, especially on hardwood floors and carpet.
Clean and maintain appliances and cabinetry
Check your owner’s manuals for advice about cleaning and maintaining your home’s appliances, HVAC systems and water heaters. Clean the outsides of kitchen and bath cabinets every week or two, depending on how much use they get.
Keep on top of bathroom cleaning and ventilation.
Prevent mold and mildew from forming by using the bathroom exhaust fan while you shower and for 30 minutes afterward. Squeegee the walls and door after every use and clean the shower thoroughly at least once a week.
Touch up paint and clean scuff marks
No matter how careful you try to be, the walls, doors and stair risers in your home will get bumped, scraped and scuffed. Be ready to touch them up with paint or a melamine sponge. We provide extra paint to accomplish this when you buy a new Riverstone home.
Keep up with lawn and landscape care.
The landscape around your new home plays a big part in its appearance. Keep plants trimmed and pruned to maintain attractive proportions. Don’t allow shrubs and tree branches to touch or overhang the house.
Clean the outside of your house regularly.
Once a year or as needed, carefully wash the exterior of your house with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Spot-clean small areas with a sponge or soft brush as needed.
