Our Expert Maintenance Checklist:

Crawl Space Integrity:

• We understand the importance of a dry foundation. Regularly check your crawl space for signs of water leaks or dampness. Early detection prevents costly mold and water damage.

Deck Longevity:

• Your custom deck is an extension of your living space. Perform a simple splash test to ensure your sealant is still effective. We recommend resealing every two to three years to combat moisture and rot.

HVAC Efficiency:

• We build homes with energy efficiency in mind. Maintain optimal air quality and system performance by regularly checking and replacing HVAC and furnace filters.

Furnace Safety:

• Your family’s safety is paramount. Schedule annual professional furnace servicing to prevent carbon monoxide leaks and ensure efficient operation.

Window Sealing:

• Properly sealed windows are crucial for energy efficiency. Inspect and recaulk windows annually to prevent heat loss and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.

Fireplace Safety:

• If your custom home features a fireplace, prioritize safety. Schedule annual professional chimney cleaning to prevent fire hazards.

Plumbing Integrity:

• Protect your bathrooms from water damage by checking toilet and bathtub seals annually.

Gutter and Drainage:

• Prevent water damage to your foundation and roof by regularly cleaning gutters and drains.

Garbage Disposal Care:

• keep your kitchen smelling fresh and clean by regularly cleaning your garbage disposal using ice and vinegar.
