Owning a home requires a lot more responsibility than renting. If something breaks down, there's no landlord to come and fix the problem; it's in the owner's hands. That means the responsibility of keeping a home clean and maintained is up to the homeowners. Your home inspector told you how important it is to keep your home maintained, as well as thousands of ways to do it. But why is it so important?
Maintaining your home is extremely important. Here are some reasons why:
1. It saves you money in the long-term. For every dollar spent on preventive maintenance, you are going to save a lot more worth of damages and repairs.
2. It increases the value of your home. By maintaining your home now, this will save the amount of deficiencies on the home inspection report when you go to sell later.
3. It protects your home from secondary damage. For example, if flowing water bursts a pipe and damages the hardwood floor.
