Maintenance tasks are things that are crucial to do around the home in order to keep it operating in good condition. If you allow yourself to slack on the home maintenance, the things will start falling apart around you and suddenly you need to replace or fix furniture and appliances that cost you a fortune.

With that being said, here are five must-do maintenance tasks for your home this year and every year, in fact.

Get the windows cleaned

Window cleaning is often considered to be a bit of an older tradition and there are certainly a lot fewer solo window cleaners around than there once were. Nowadays, you will likely find that getting your windows cleaned is done through an agency or company that is full of window cleaners ready to tackle any property they’re booked onto.

While window cleaning can be a job that you can do yourself, operating from a height might not be something that you enjoy. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to get someone in to do the cleaning for you, even if it’s only done every month or so.

Check the roof

The roof is a place that is going to cause major problems to your home if it becomes compromised. Broken slates to leaks in the roof, can end up doing more damage to the rest of the home. More importantly, if the foundation of your home is damaged, that can cause a lot of stress and financial strain on your finances as a result.

To avoid this problem, have someone come and check the roof every year. This will help stay on top of any underlying problems. You might also want to look at the roof yourself but from within your attic space. This will help ensure everything has been checked closely inside and out.

Do a jetwash of your exterior

Jetwashing is an addictive passtime, especially when you see all that dirt and debris come off of the exterior of your home the first time. This is something that’s worth doing at the end or start of each season. You would be surprised at just how much debris and dirt can build up over time, which is important to get rid of in order to keep the exterior of your home in good condition.

Be mindful of certain material when it comes to jetwashing as sometimes, it might not be the best suited for such a powerful force of water.

Check your HVAC systems

HVAC systems can be vitally important in keeping your home cool or warm, depending on the time of year. It’s good too keep an eye on them regularly by checking that the filters are clean and that it’s been checked over by an engineer. 

Be sure to check that your HVAC systems are in good condition and get them replaced once they start underperforming.

Tidy up the backyard

Finally, make sure you’re doing your bit around the garden too. This is helpful for avoiding pests finding a home in your garden space, not to mention helping to boost your curb appeal.

The more proactive you can be with your efforts to with home maintenance tasks, the better.
