[Read A Bit Blog]   Seasonal Guide to Maintaining Your Home
From summer vacations to winter holidays, it seems each season offers the perfect excuse to put off our to-do list. But be careful homeowners: neglecting your home’s maintenance could put your personal safety—and one of your largest financial investments—at serious risk.    While it may be tempting to put off home maintenance issues, small problems can quickly lead to extensive and expensive repairs. And even if you avoid a catastrophe, those minor issues can still have a big impact.  Properties that are not well maintained can lose 10 percent (or more) of their appraised value.1  Our Seasonal Guide to Maintaining Your Home offers some tips to help you with your home maintenance.

By dedicating a few hours each season to properly maintaining your home, you can ensure a safe living environment for you and your family and actually increase the value of your home by one percent annually!1  Keep a record of all your maintenance activities, repairs and upgrades for future reference, along with receipts. Not only will it help jog your memory, it can also make a big impact on buyers when it comes time to sell your home … and potentially result in a higher selling price.

While this checklist should not be considered a complete list of your home’s maintenance needs, it can serve as a general guide to maintaining your property throughout the year.  It offers suggestions for every season.  It’s applicable for all climates, so please share it with friends and family members who you think could benefit, no matter where their home is located.
