Like your car, your home needs regular maintenance and occasional tune-ups to stay in tip-top shape.
Fortunately, you can complete most of these tasks by yourself and schedule the professionals for any indoor or outdoor tasks.
Regular home maintenance is essential to ensure a safe and efficient home. It’s a good idea to set aside some money in your budget each month for home maintenance and repair. As a rule of thumb, homeowners spend between 1% to 3% of their home’s value on maintenance and repair each year.
