Buying a new Quality Built Home in Charles, Calvert or St. Mary’s County is an exciting process.

It’s important to take care of your new home to keep your family safe and protect your investment.

Following a maintenance schedule will enable you to take care of small issues as they occur, before they become big problems later on.

Here are a few things you can take care of during the fall to keep your Quality Built Home in good shape.

1. Inspect and repair caulking in sinks, tubs, showers, thresholds, walls, windows and other interior areas as needed.

2. Adjust the heating registers.

3. Perform safety tests on the following items:

• Smoke detectors
• Dryer vents
• Pressure gauge in fire extinguisher
• GFCI outlets

Maintaining the outside of your new Quality Built Home is also important. Autumn is an excellent time to address the following areas:

1. Clean and remove debris from the gutters; inspect the alignment of gutters, downspouts and splash-blocks to allow water to run off properly, and away from your home.

2. Inspect and repair or replace weather stripping on exterior doors as needed. A well-insulated home will keep heat in and cool out during the winter months.

3. Put up hoses and shut off outside water faucets at the cut-off valve to avoid pipes bursting.

4. Inspect and repair caulking of windows, siding, cornice, and other exterior areas as needed to seal gaps and secure tiles.
