Life seems like it’s always speeding up. Every minute of every day is filled with commitments to work, home, family and community. Add the blessing and curse of technology to the equation and the expectation is that everyone is available 24/7 with little time to take care of routine items or home maintenance issues.
You probably remember to make routine doctor visits for yourself and your family, but when was the last time you checked the operation of your sump pump or the battery backup system? You must have taken your car in for an oil change, but have you vacuumed your dryer exhaust vent in the past year?
Home maintenance is constant and crucial to preserve the safety, value and life of your home. If you own a home or condominium, there are always tasks to be done. Some of these, if ignored, can be extremely detrimental and costly to your home, potentially even causing fires or flooding. So why do so many of us let maintenance items fall to the bottom of our to-do lists? The obvious answer is we’re busy and probably unaware of the consequences.
Hester Painting & Decorating is introducing a new division that will take these items off your list and, more importantly, ease your mind. Hester Home Maintenance is a quarterly service that will ensure the proper maintenance of your home by employing a checklist of more than 30 tasks. Here is a sneak peek at four important items:
- Check the operation of your sump pump and water heater to prevent flooding.
- Check the weather stripping on your exterior doors to save money on utilities.
- Clean and vacuum dryer exhaust vents and kitchen hood vents to prevent fires.
- Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to keep you and your family safe.
“While some items are obvious, other tasks on the list may come as a surprise,” says Steve Hester of Hester Home Maintenance. “The bottom line is, we realized there is a growing need, and we wanted to provide a service that combines the Hester expertise and customer service with homeowner peace of mind.”
This service is of great value for every homeowner, in all stages of life. However, it could be THE answer for older adults who do not want to move out of their homes. “Aging in place” is a growing trend, and services are starting up in every market to accommodate it. One in 3 Americans is now 50 or older, and by 2030 1 in 5 will be 65+. According to AARP, 87 percent of adults 65+ want to stay in their current home and community as they age. Understandably, home maintenance is a major concern for the family members of aging adults. The Hester Home Maintenance quarterly service and checklist is the solution.
Hester Home Maintenance will offer the same incredible Hester expertise and customer service at a very affordable price. Visit HesterHomeMaintenance.com to read the entire checklist of more than 30 services, or call 847-677-5130 to schedule a consult.
