Avoid Costly Home Repairs! 10 Maintenance Tasks You Should Never Skip!

Good morning Nina. Sometimes the simple things are thrones that are also simple to overlook. Thanks for the simple suggestions. People should not loverly them. Enjoy your day. 

Good Morning Nina Hollander, Broker Thank for the tips and video and link.  Yes...the biggest frustration I have with property (of all types) is a lack of maintenance over a period of time.  Some things are so simple yet do not get done and bloom into major projects.  Sadly...I am guilty as well!  Have a great week!

What a timely and practical guide... regular maintenance like seasonal HVAC tune‑ups, roof inspections, and gutter cleanouts isn’t just good stewardship it’s smart investment protection that keeps homes performing well and resale-ready.

These are very good tips!  It's always better to maintain than have to repair later on.

Nina, We're pretty good with these maintenance tips and the gutter clean-up is happening this week. 

Good Monday morning, Nina.

These are good reminders to share.

Have a productive week!

Nina, this is such an insightful post! The importance of regular home maintenance can’t be overstated, and you’ve highlighted the most crucial tasks that can save homeowners from costly repairs down the line. I especially appreciate the point about clogged gutters and HVAC maintenance—these are often overlooked but can cause major damage. The tip on budgeting 1–4% of a home’s purchase price annually is a great reminder to plan ahead. Thanks for sharing these helpful tips and the importance of staying proactive with home care!

This is a really smart post. I see folks who do zero to maintain the home they bought...then call me to list, and ask if my handyman/contractor can fix it up cheap...lol

Our builder did not install water pressure regulators, so all had to be done retroactively. Several people sustained damage as a result. 

Nina all your suggestions are easy to do and cost very little.  All of them should be done every year and some even every 6 months or more.

Thanks so much for sharing this valuable advice, Nina Hollander, Broker! Your insights really highlight how small, consistent efforts can save big money and keep our homes in top shape. I appreciate you taking the time to break down these key tasks. Definitely a must-read for homeowners looking to avoid costly surprises! 😊

Hello Nina and Happy Monday and thank you for sharing this great information in your blog on this Monday.  Good Job.

Hi Nina- Loved the video. It's important for homeowners to keep up with these maintenance projects whether they are planning on staying or selling their home. 

Good evening Nina,

I agree summer is the perfect time to tackle those overlooked home tasks and we are rapidly approaching fall so need to get on these tasks sooner than later! The video is a home run!

Nina, your post is spot on, and taking care of home maintenance items as quickly as possible saves you in the long run.   You wait, it will cost much more after damage has been done.
