Advantage “Basic” Home Service:
Each month, I will complete a thorough inspection of your home and conduct the basic maintenance tasks required to keep the house safe and assure the longevity of its systems.
- check and maintain your water softener (or cistern) and water filters
- inspect and change furnace filters/ humidifier pads
- change hard-to-reach light bulbs
- check/test smoke and CO2 alarms
- inspect fire extinguishers
- clean your range hood filters
- clean/lubricate your garbage disposal
Throughout the year, additional systems will be inspected and maintained as part of an extensive maintenance checklist. I also complete seasonal items that are done once or twice a year, such as:
- inspecting the home for ice dams, water and pest damage
- flushing out water heaters
- inspecting the home’s electrical system
- checking plumbing system
- inspecting home’s weatherization/insulation
- winterizing outside faucets and AC
- checking gutters, roofs, chimneys
- cleaning dryer vents
Once the maintenance is complete, I will email a detailed report of the visit, complete with any suggestions on issues that should be addressed beyond a “maintenance level” and would present a cause for concern. I can advise you with a follow-up email or phone call if necessary and suggest a reliable repair/service professional if the issue calls for one.
