Keeping Your home in its Best Shape

Keeping your home in good shape…what inspectors look for:

Have your HVAC air conditioning system serviced once a year and dryer vent  be cleared out once a year. Check your windows for deterioration. If you have a tile roof, then  have it checked for cracked or slipped /and or missing.   Non-functioning GFCI’s are a big item when it comes to inspections if they are not working. You can buy a tool from the hardware that you can test your GFCIs and if you see they need to be placed,  a handyman you can do that, but if you need new ones, (like your house was built before the code that requires smoke detectors by bedrooms and in garages, then you probably should have those installed.)  They’re saying smoke detectors are only good for 10 years. We bought ours online and then Premier Electric put ours in. If you have a garage service door, please check it because they tend to rot at bottom after a while. You might want to put in a fiberglass door even though it’s pricey. Garage door bottom seals also need periodic replacement. Walk around your house looking for rotted facia and/or squirrel chewed facia and have it replaced.    Home ownership is costly when it comes to upkeep and repairs   but a home’s value also depends on the shape it is in.
