Routine repairs and seasonal home maintenance are, understandably, sometimes overlooked by homeowners with busy lives. Repairs and maintenance items that are “out of sight and out of mind” can easily be forgotten by even the most diligent homeowner and can become costly, unexpected repairs down the road. An annual home maintenance inspection will alleviate this fear of the unknown and help prevent major financial difficulties caused by unexpected repairs in the future. A simple concept known as “preventative maintenance”
