As we step into the New Year, it’s the perfect time to set goals—not just for yourself, but for your home too. A well-maintained home is more than just a resolution; it’s a way to start the year with peace of mind and a plan to keep your space looking its best. At Red Door Construction and Maintenance, we believe in tackling home projects early to avoid bigger problems down the road. Here’s a handy New Year home maintenance to-do list to get you started:
1. Inspect Your Home’s Exterior
Winter weather can take a toll on your home’s exterior. Walk around your property and check for:
• Cracks in the foundation or walls.
• Chipped paint or damaged siding.
• Leaks or damage around doors and windows.
Quick fixes now can save you costly repairs later.
2. Declutter and Organize
A New Year is a fresh start—declutter your garage, closets, and storage spaces. Use the “keep, donate, or discard” method to sort through unused items. Bonus: A clean space makes future projects easier to tackle.
3. Test Safety Equipment
Safety first! Check all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace batteries if needed and ensure fire extinguishers are up to date and accessible.
4. Check Heating and Cooling Systems
It may still be chilly, but spring will arrive sooner than you think. Schedule maintenance for your HVAC system to ensure it’s ready for the changing seasons. Replace filters and consider a professional inspection to keep your system running efficiently.
5. Deep Clean and Refresh Your Home
Give your home a thorough clean:
• Wash windows and mirrors.
• Deep-clean carpets and rugs.
• Wipe down baseboards and walls.
Adding fresh paint or new decor can also brighten your living space for the year ahead.
6. Plan for Home Improvements
Thinking about a kitchen remodel or a custom woodworking project? Start planning now! At Red Door Construction and Maintenance, we can help turn your vision into reality. Whether it’s a big renovation or small updates, early planning ensures the best results.
7. Schedule Routine Repairs
Don’t let small issues linger. Take note of:
• Leaky faucets or pipes.
• Doors or windows that stick.
• Electrical outlets or switches that aren’t working properly.
We’re here to help with quick fixes so you can focus on enjoying your home.
8. Evaluate Energy Efficiency
Review your home’s energy usage and make upgrades where necessary. Consider:
• Sealing drafts around doors and windows.
• Switching to LED bulbs.
• Installing a programmable thermostat.
These changes can lower your bills and reduce your environmental footprint.
