All of us go to the doctor for our annual physical, right? We go to make sure everything is in working order and there haven’t been any changes we should know about. 

The same energy needs to be put into one’s home through a yearly house maintenance checklist. It’s basically your house’s physical, and it’s a way for you to make sure your home is in the best condition it can be. 

As your home is your biggest investment, it’s not something you want to skip. But the real question is, do you have the time to complete the checklist in a timely manner?

We’re guessing the answer is no, which is something we completely understand. So why not hire a cleaning company in Connecticut like Clean My Space CT to do the hard work for you? 

Our Ultimate Annual Home Maintenance Checklist

With years of experience in house cleaning in Connecticut, we know just what you should include in your annual house maintenance checklist. 

When it comes to checking over your house, you want to do more general things rather than focusing on one area or spot. This way you’ll be able to get a general overview of your house. 

Here are five things every person should have on their annual house maintenance checklist: 

1. Clean From Top to Bottom

The very first step in the checklist is where we come in. Cleaning your home can be added to any part of your checklist, whether you do it once a year or you do it every season. Cleaning is always in season. 

We serve areas all over central Connecticut, including: 

  • Farmington
  • West Hartford
  • Avon
  • Wethersfield
  • Rocky Hill
  • Cromwell
  • Glastonbury
  • Bloomfield
  • Burlington
  • Briston
  • Middletown

By cleaning your house from top to bottom, you’ll be able to get a full picture of your home. We dust, mop, vacuum, sweep, window clean and so much more so that you don’t have to. 

As we clean, we’ll have our staff make a list of anything we think might be a problem for you, such as damp areas in the home or an abundance of bugs. We also can look out for mold, algae or other buildups. 

We know what we’re doing and then some. Our 99-percent approval rate and countless positive reviews can showcase that and much more. 

2. Clean Your Gutters

Your gutters are more important than you think for the interior and exterior of your home. A clogged or nonworking gutter can lead to all sorts of water damage that will cost you hundreds of dollars to fix. 

On top of that, clogged gutters make a nice home for bugs, insects and rodents. They’re hidden in a spot that remains untouched, and it doesn’t take much of an imagination to think about what kind of havoc they could wreak on the house. 

3. Consider a Plumbing Inspection

The plumbing in your house is important, to say the least. It also can be ridiculously expensive if something leaks, breaks or blows up out of nowhere. 

A plumbing inspection can be done yearly by a professional or yourself if you choose. They’ll come in and give everything a once over that’s connected to the plumbing system, including appliances, sump pumps, sinks, faucets, drains and many more items. 

They’ll also be able to identify any leaks or maintenance that needs to be done to keep future issues from arising.  

4. Inspect the Roof and Chimney

Your roof and your chimney are part of the upper foundation of your home. If something is wrong with one of them, a large amount of money could be going out the door sooner than later. 

By hiring a professional to do a roof and chimney inspection, you’ll be able to determine the condition of the roof and chimney, how long your roof will last, and if one (or both) needs replacing soon. 

5. Spruce Up the Outdoors

After we’ve spruced up the inside and made it look brand new, it’s time for you to work your magic and fix things on the outside. The last item we think should go on every homeowner’s yearly checklist is a facelift to the outside of your home. 

Curb appeal is more important than you think. Not only can it create a more welcoming environment for you when you get home, but it also can make your guests feel safer and appeal to future homebuyers to remember the area. 

Powerwash the sides of your home, the driveway and any porches you have. Replant or plant new flowers to have a pop of color. Repaint the house to make it look new and fresh.
