Why Home Maintenance Matters
Regular home maintenance prevents small problems from becoming expensive repairs. The average homeowner should budget 1-3% of their home's value annually for maintenance and upkeep.
What Happens When You Skip Maintenance?
- HVAC failure — A $150 tune-up prevents a $5,000+ emergency replacement in the middle of summer or winter.
- Roof leaks — A $300 inspection catches problems before water damage costs $10,000+ in repairs.
- Plumbing disasters — A slow drip under the sink can lead to mold, structural damage, and costly remediation.
