If you’re first-time homeowner, you’ll probably experience some trial and error before you know how to properly care for your new place. But you can avoid some costly mistakes by doing routine home maintenance that protects your invest-ment. Here’s a basic home-maintenance checklist to help you get started.

•Check gutters reg-ularly to make sure they’re properly at-tached and clear of sticks and leaves. Also confirm the flow of water from your gut-ters is away from your home to avoid damage to your foundation.

•Test your smoke and carbon monoxide

detectors monthly. Ex-perts also recommend changing the batteries in these items as part of your routine when you change the clocks in the fall and spring.

•Change filters in your home at inter-vals recommended by your HVAC manufac-turer, especially if you have allergies or pets. A dirty filter means an inefficient system. Also arrange for sea-sonal checks on your heating and cooling system to avoid emer-gency repairs.

•Hire a tree-service company to inspect trees on your prop-erty. They can give you advice on how to care for your trees and identify weak limbs

that should be cut before a storm.

•Is your toilet run-ning? Or your fau-cets? No, this isn’t a joke. Toilets that run and faucets that leak when not in use are wasting your water. Sometimes you can fix these problems your-self, but hire an expert if you’re in doubt.

•Frequently check the water supply hose to your washing ma-chine, which can leak and cause expensive damage.

•Clean your dryer vent regularly. Note the dryer vent is not the lint trap (which should be cleaned of-ten, too). Dryer vents push air outside the property through a duct, but can get filled with lint. Clogged dry-er vents can be a fire hazard.

•Clean around the vents and coils un-derneath and behind your refrigerator to support its efficiency. Also check for gaps when it’s closed to make sure your cool air isn’t being wasted.

•Check your doors, garage door, windows, and any places where pipes and wires en-ter the structure for gaps and cracks. Re-place weather-strip-ping that’s missing or in disrepair and add caulk where needed. This will help you keep the house insulated for all seasons and keep bugs and small creatures out.

•Have a pest-control expert inspect your home, even if you don’t suspect signs of infestation, since attic and crawlspace critters are usually unwanted guests on your property.

—It’s Our Pleasure To Quote You!

- Moving brings great op-portunities in the form of careers, social connections and new beginnings. How-ever, the act of moving can create unnecessary stress and tension, which makes the process less than desir-able. About 35 percent of Americans move every five years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which re-sults in many people who are looking to simplify the process and turn their new house into a home.

•Review everything being packed: If you have items you won’t use or haven’t used in six months, put them aside. They are good candidates for selling at a garage sale, listing in online classified ads, do-nating to charity, or as a last-case scenario, throw-ing away.

Also, look for ways to reduce your load. Canned goods may still have shelf life, but evaluate whether it makes sense to move or donate - it’s likely the lat-

5 essenTial Tips To Turn Your new House inTo a HoMeter. The same goes for oth-er items you can easily and inexpensively purchase at a discount store when you arrive at your destination. As you approach moving day, be sure to think twice before loading up at grocery or convenience stores.

As you take inventory of everything in your home, be sure to clean, orga-nize and sort the remain-ing items so they can be packed quickly and then easily found when you ar-rive at your new home.

• Get secured before you move: Feeling secure and in control is an important part of transforming a new house into a home. A home security and automation system gives homeowners the ability to not only mon-itor their home’s security, but also control functions such as adjusting lights, unlocking doors and con-trolling thermostats - all with the touch of an app. Plus, it can start working for new homeowners on

day one, whether using it to grant access to trusted contractors and techni-cians or receiving alerts when deliveries arrive at the front door. In a new neighborhood and a new house, it will be a sigh of relief to know you’re in control both at home and while away.

•Keep organized on mov-ing day: Walk through the old home with your movers to identify how you’d like your items organized and packed. Let them know you want the house packed

room by room, which will make it easier to unpack and place everything into your new house. If you have anything fragile, be sure to note how you’d like those items to be handled, saving you plenty of time and headaches in the long run.

If you’re planning to move yourself, it’s important to take precautions and pro-tect your belongings while the truck is being loaded and unloaded. Have a team of trusted friends or family help you - the more sets of

eyes, the easier it will be to keep track of your belong-ings. If you need to keep the truck parked overnight, back the vehicle up to a wall or garage door, which will make it difficult for someone to break in.

• Make yourself a happy place: Choose one room in your new home to be the room you completely un-pack and organize on the first day. This gives you a restful sanctuary where you can retreat, even if the rest of your items are still in boxes scattered among the other rooms for several days to come.

• Document and share the transformation: Use your smartphone or cam-era to document the change of your new home as your items are unpacked and placed. This allows you to see how your hard work has paid off.

With these tips, you can streamline your move and make it less stressful for you and your family.
