What is a Home Maintenance "Check-Up"?
It is a non-intrusive, systematic visual observation of the condition of a home and its operating systems.
The "Check-Up" includes electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, roofing,
gutters, foundation, basement, attic, grounds, drainage, windows, doors,
interior and exterior walls, flooring, etc.
A Home Maintenance "Check-Up" can be compared to a routine physical
at your doctor's office. Just like a doctor would prescribe
a course of action for you to stay in good health, the Home
Maintenance "Check-Up" will provide you with information and
steps you need to take to keep your home in good condition.
Like the doctor's overview of your health, the Home Maintenance
"Check-Up" is a general overview of your house, not expert advice
in any specific area or system of the house. When a doctor finds
something that needs further evaluation, they would recommend
that you see a specialist. Similarly, the Home Maintenance "Check-Up"
will recommend further evaluation by an individual who is licensed
and an expert in that particular trade.
The doctor's role is to teach you how to take care of yourself,
and the Home Maintenance "Check-Up" teaches you how to take
care of your home.
