Are you stumped about a gift idea for your parents? They probably don’t need (or want) more things that need dusting, and restrictive diets mean food gifts are problematic. Health issues may make travel gifts impractical. So what can you do?
You can give them (and yourself) the gift of Peace of Mind, with a Home and Safety Maintenance Checkup.
Home Safety shouldn't be left to luck.
During the Maintenance Checkup, we will ask questions about how the systems in the house are working. Are there drainage issues? Have the occupants noticed problems with the roof? How’s the plumbing? Then we go through the house and look at all the systems, noting whether they seem to be working properly, or require maintenance, or are safety hazards.
The Maintenance Checkup can reveal safety issues, such as electrical systems unsuited for home health equipment. It can also identify areas of “deferred maintenance” – things that should have been done over the years but have been put off (such as replacing filters or dealing with a drippy faucet).
A Maintenance Checkup Report is not the same as the Home Inspection we perform for real estate transactions. It focuses mostly on the upkeep of the systems in the house, and the safety of those systems. It can also include a Radon test, if needed, and water testing if the home is on well water.
This certificate will be personalized for your recipient.
We will send you (or your recipient) a handsome personalized certificate announcing your gift, and will schedule the inspection at their convenience. Reports can be sent to you and/or to the recipient; the choice is yours. Home Checkups start at just $299 for homes up to 2500 square feet, and $100 per additional thousand square feet. Radon and water tests are an additional $150 each. We can perform Home Checkups anywhere within our service area of Central Maryland. Checkups can be done on any type of dwelling, from Assisted Living rental units to single-family homes.
