Did you know that there are over 144 million homes in the United States and Canada and that the median age is 36 years?
Odds are if you live in Massachusetts, your home may be much older than that! When is the last time you performed regular preventative maintenance to your Western MA home?
You should expect some natural deterioration or wear and tear on your property and you will want to budget appropriately so that you can maintain your home and protect the value. Insurance policies may not cover damage caused by a lack of maintenance, so homeowners should be prepared by understanding the normal lifespan of their home’s components.
The following slides will explain the life expectancy of things like roofs, windows, flooring, plumbing, appliances and decks. There is also a checklist of preventative maintenance for homeowners to follow.
If you are looking to buy or sell your Western MA home, please give me a call! Lesley Lambert, Park Square Realty 413-575-3611
