39 Tips For Every Homeowner: Week 2

39 tips for every homeowner: Week 2



Home inspectorBuying a Houston home is a big step, and there is so much to cover. Here are some simple things that could slip through the cracks if you’re not careful.

9. Always have your locks re-keyed immediately.

10. Stay updated on Houston schools.  Call the school district and find out if there will be any boundary changes regarding schools, especially in new neighborhoods.,

11. Understand your homeowners insurance coverage.  A lot of times when people buy a house, they don’t understand all of the liability limits. Really look at your policy again and see if there are any changes that need to be made. I’ve talked to a lot of people who have a 1 percent deductible but didn’t really think about what that means. One percent of a $400,000 home is a lot of money for most people. 

Quiz your home inspector about maintaining your new investment.

12. What do I need to prepare and protect the home against freezing weather?

13. How do I properly maintain drainage and moisture around the home to prevent foundation issues?

14. How often do I need to have the HVAC system serviced to keep it in proper working order?

15. Which items would you repair or replace if you were buying the home?
