Every year, people all over the country make New Year’s resolutions to help them live happier, healthier lifestyles and be better people. What some don’t realize, however, is that this positive and goal-oriented mindset can also be applied to your home maintenance plans.
In this article, the rain gutter guard installation pros of Gutter Helmet® of Northern Minnesota list the five home maintenance goals you should keep in mind in 2020.
Be more energy efficient – No one likes paying a significant amount on their energy bills. Thankfully, it’s possible to avoid this by becoming more energy efficient this year. To accomplish this, consider conducting a few necessary repairs and updates around the house, such as window and roof replacements, switching to energy-efficient light bulbs and even making the transition to solar roofing.
Document your home – Make sure to document the current state of your home by taking pictures of it every now and then. This can prove useful if you need to make an insurance claim at some point in the year, as most insurance companies prefer that you have photographs as proof of what you have in your home.
Declutter – With the frantic pace of the holidays, it’s easy for things that you don’t really need to pile up around the house. With that in mind, make it one of your 2020 home maintenance goals to declutter every now and then and get rid of the things you no longer need to help maintain a clean, uncluttered space.
Keep up with home maintenance – Keeping up with the maintenance of your home is an important step in taking care of it. Your roof, siding and windows will need to be inspected every now and then to ensure they remain in top shape, but it can be easy to forget such tasks at times. Therefore, consider creating a home maintenance schedule so you’re reminded of which part of your home will need to be inspected and repaired next.
