Home Maintenance Resolutions for a Happy & Healthy Home

As we usher in a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the place we call home and set resolutions that will keep our living spaces happy, healthy, and thriving. Whether you're a new homeowner or have been in your home for years, these practical resolutions will help you make the most of your home in the coming year & beyond.

1. Regular Home Maintenance Checks

Resolve to conduct regular checks on your home's vital systems, including plumbing, gutters, electrical, and HVAC. This proactive approach can catch minor issues before they become major headaches.

2. Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Consider making your home more energy-efficient. Simple changes, such as sealing drafts, installing a programmable thermostat, or upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, can make a significant impact on both the environment and your utility bills.

3. Declutter and Organize

Pledge to declutter and organize your living spaces. Donate items you no longer need, invest in smart storage solutions, and enjoy the calming effects of a well-organized home.

4. Emergency Preparedness

Make home safety a priority by ensuring you have a well-stocked emergency kit, smoke detectors, flashlights with fresh batteries, and a family evacuation plan. Being prepared can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

5. Stay Informed About Home Trends

Stay up-to-date on home design and technology trends. Consider incorporating new, functional elements into your home, whether it's smart home devices, eco-friendly materials, or the latest interior design styles.

Over the years we have seen so much deferred maintenance in homes that could have been easily avoided. Unfortunately for these homeowners when it comes time to sell, it would be too costly to fix all these issues at once, thus leaving money on the table when it comes time to sell. Spending money on home maintenance each year might seem pricey at the time, but trust us, it will seem even pricier when it affects your bottom line by having to sell your home for a lower price than if you had maintained it all along.
