A practical plan for the home you already own.
I’ll help you understand your home’s equipment and upkeep, with photos and clear next steps in your Home Maintenance Report.
Serving Maplewood, South Orange, Millburn, and nearby New Jersey communities.
I review readily accessible maintenance-related areas and equipment, then explain the routine care that fits your home. We’ll start with your questions and any service records you have.
Basement areas are included when accessible. Attic access is limited to reaching installed HVAC equipment when safe. Crawlspace entry is normally excluded. The written agreement identifies the areas and limitations for your visit.
Your Home Maintenance Report organizes the information by system. Photos help you find the equipment, filter location, visible model information, and accessible shutoffs again after the visit.
You’ll see practical next steps for routine cleaning, filter care, seasonal upkeep, and professional servicing. Where an obvious concern is encountered, I’ll explain the supported significance and identify the appropriate Licensed or Qualified professional.
The aim is a useful maintenance reference. The visit does not include functional testing, repairs, cleaning, diagnostic troubleshooting, or future replacement-cost estimates.
That is how much water EPA says leaks in the average household can waste. Fixing easily corrected leaks can also reduce water bills by about 10%. Regular attention to toilets, faucets, and accessible connections has a practical payoff. Source: EPA WaterSense.
In the U.S. Fire Administration’s 2018–2020 data, failure to clean was the leading contributing factor, accounting for 31% of these fires. Lint and exhaust care belong in the routine. Source: U.S. Fire Administration.
Your plan should fit your equipment. A steam boiler needs different care from a furnace and central air; manufacturer instructions and your service professional’s advice determine the right tasks and intervals.
This service is designed for people caring for a home they already own. It can help after a move, when you inherit unfamiliar equipment, or when you want a clearer routine for keeping up with the house.
If you’re buying or selling, need a full condition assessment, or want a specific problem diagnosed, tell me before scheduling. My residential inspection service or an appropriate specialist may better fit that need.
A maintenance visit does not certify that a home is defect-free or that equipment operates correctly. It includes no specialty testing or add-on services. An annual review can be useful, but there is no automatic renewal or subscription.
Home maintenance inspections start at $280.00.
Tell me about your home and the upkeep you want help understanding. I’ll answer your questions, confirm the scope, and help you plan the visit.
