We all celebrate birthdays for ourselves, our kids, even our pets. Have you ever considered celebrating your home's birthday with a special gift? I had never thought of it, but I met someone this week who wants me to give his home new and improved lighting as he and his young family celebrate their home's first birthday. What a wonderful idea!
It is easy for us to begin to think of ways we can improve our home as each spring comes around and our thoughts turn toward warmer days and breaking out of the winter doldrums. Maybe the time is right to add some new feature as a celebration of living in your home, but also think of the spring season as a time to evaluate any fixes needed to keep your home in tip-top shape. Don't wait until the problem becomes obvious....spend some time looking for any cracks in the foundation, small roof leaks that have reached the attic but not yet found their way to causing water stains on the ceiling below, or peeling paint on the exterior from brutal winter winds.
So you're not one to crawl under the house, climb into the attic, or get on a ladder? Call a home inspector. Licensed home inspectors can check out your entire home in less than a day and present a detailed report of any repairs that might be needed. We spend hundreds of dollars each year keeping our cars in good running order, wouldn't you want to do the same for your home---your largest investment!?
Once you've budgeted for this annual or bi-annual service which helps with the general maintenance --saving big bucks by preventing major repairs--, you can plan for bigger birthday presents for your abode that your entire family will enjoy for years to come! Now, let's see......birthday presents......basement game room......updated kitchen......updated powder room......bigger master bedroom suite........kids' tree house.......
