Extending the Life of Your Home

Your home is perhaps the largest investment you’ll make. Protect it with proper care. Regular maintenance—simple tasks like cleaning the gutter and checking for air leaks—can prevent major problems from occurring. Changing your air conditioner’s filter, cleaning the dryer’s ducts, and recaulking weatherstripping also ensure that you’re not wasting energy. Replacing the batteries on your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is essential. We want you to live safely, healthy, and comfortably!

Protecting what is likely the largest investment in your lifetime is, well, important ( to say the least). While a new home does offer all new everything, maintaining the 'new' is key to ensuring your home functions at its best for the years to come. Life's journey after purchasing a home continues on and so does maintaining your home. Learn how to take care of your investment through our HQ How-To video series. As a homeowner you have the power, we are just here to provide the How-to along the way.

Clean the Filters and Vents

Dirty filters reduce efficiency and drive up energy costs. Clean or replace your air conditioning and heating system’s filter every other month. Have the system serviced by a professional twice a year for preventive maintenance and inspection.

It’s also not enough to clean the lint trap on your clothes dryer after every use. Flammable lint can build up in the vent, so be sure to have it cleaned at least once a year, or when you notice your clothes aren’t getting dry enough after one cycle.

Check the Exterior

Twice a year, check the condition of your home’s exterior. Check for cracks in the brick, stone, and stucco. Check for warped siding, gaps in wood trim, and peeling or blistering paint. Sand, scrape, stain, repaint, and apply wood preservatives wherever necessary.

Prevent Water Damage

Inspect your roof twice a year and look for broken or missing shingles that could lead to leaking. Clean your gutters at the same time to remove debris. Obstacles cause water to back up and it could seep into your home. Make sure the downspouts are also clear and sloped so that the water drains at least 5 feet away from the foundation.

What we love most about this home is how open the floor plan is. The Lowcountry Farmhouse Style is just beautiful! The arched doorways, the high ceilings, the tall glass door. and the beautiful kitchen are some of our favorites. What we also liked was the customer service that was delivered. From the time we walked into the model home at The Paddock, we were treated with respect and we were appreciated as customers. Courtney, our sales and designer representative, never pushed, only honestly answered our questions and walked us through several homes. Our construction manager, Jay, kept us up to date through the entire process. He set deadlines and was sure to keep the project on schedule. Aimee helped us through the end process. She was very knowledgeable and kept us in the loop as our home was being finished. The entire Paddock Team has been a pleasure working with as they led us through this home buying experience. From our very first meeting, this Hunter Quinn Staff felt like family. In addition, they have provided excellent customer service throughout our building experience. Our Hunter Quinn experience has been a pleasure to walk through.
