This is your friendly reminder to take care of your home. Here’s a handy checklist of things I recommend to keep your house humming along smoothly:
Clean your gutters
- Recommended vendor: Maple Leaf Rain Gutter Service or Gutterman Services
Clean your windows and screens
- Recommended vendor: E & R Services
Mulch, weed, prune trees
- Recommended vendor: Michael’s Lawn Service
Service your HVAC System
Recommended vendor: Mannix HVAC
Check your chimney (it should have a cap on it which can sometimes blow off if it’s really windy like we’ve had this winter)
- Recommended vendor: Chimney Doctor
Reseal driveway if you have an asphalt driveway
- Recommended vendor: Collegiate Sealers and Paving
Don’t forget you can always download my free vendor guide if you have other repairs you want fixed!
One other thing… if you’re waiting for spring to list your home, don’t. The market is moving very quickly right now for a seller and with more inventory usually coming on the market in April and May, don’t wait. I met with someone this morning to list their home and it’s going to be on the market next week. That’s how fast I can turn it around. The only market we can predict is the one we’re in!
