The Importance of Home Maintenance
Most homeowners understand the importance of maintaining their homes, but
with the busy lifestyles that most people lead these days, who has time to
do all of the little things around their home before they turn into bigger
headaches?
Some homeowners may not know what they need to doin order to properly
maintain their home;some may have an idea of what needs to be done, but may
not have the know-how or all of the needed tools; others may have the
know-how but simply be unable to get around as well as they once did.
This is where MMd Home Repair and Handyman Services comes in! MMd Home
Repair is much more than just a “handyman or home repair service”; our
Healthy Home Check-Up & Maintenance Plan takes all of the worries out of
homeownership…at least as far as maintenance and repairs go!
MMd Home Repair will send an experienced home repair & improvement
professional to your home to perform our exclusive 50- or 75-Point Check-Up
(depending on how often you choose for us to come out; 75-Point Check-Ups
are for the initial & annual visits; 50-Point Check-Ups are for quarterly &
semi-annual visits) that includes such things as changing your HVAC filter,
replacing batteries and testing your smoke & CO detectors, lubricating &
adjusting doors and windows, and so much more (see below for more details)!
Why Should You Do Regular Home Maintenance?
1) A properly maintained home is more comfortable for the occupants.
2) Regular care minimizes unexpected repair work & expense.
3) Regular small repairs keep costs from becoming larger.
4) Helps to maintain the value of your property.
5) A well maintained home usually sells more quickly and brings a higher
price.
Safe & Healthy Homes
Proper home maintenance helps provide a safe and healthy environment as it
protects your financial investment. It is much easier to prevent the
development of unsafe, unhealthy conditions and structural damage than to
pay medical or repair bills…or both.
Regular inspection and maintenance of your home will help you keep the house
in good condition and maintain its value. Doing maintenance and repairs as
the need arises also helps to keep small problems and annoyances from
becoming bigger, more costly repairs.
