House Maintenance

    Florida is renowned and loved as the "Sunshine State", for the mild winter climate and miles of beaches. Homes surrounded by citrus and palm trees, Spanish moss and friendly neighbors abound. Florida is less appreciated for the hot, humid summers, and daily showers during the rainy season. Behind closed doors, Florida might also be referred to as the "Mold State", as it presents the perfect environment for insects and mold! This is especially problematic with older homes with flat roofs that aren't well maintained or in disrepair.

    Keep a reasonably clean and completely dry house and develop a regular pest control routine to live free of pesky insects and mold. Pest and mold control should be a year round passion with a home in Florida. This is especially important to remember for "snow birds", who lock their homes up and return to the north country during the warmer months. Failure to keep your Florida residence dry can result in feeling out of sorts (suffering from mold symptoms) upon your return in the Fall.

    Key Floridian house maintenance services include 1) inside pest control, 2) termite control, 3) outside pressure cleaning (for aesthetics), 4) exterior painting, 5) air conditioning service, and 6) pool service. Which services are needed will depend on the house type you plan to purchase. You can accomplish any and all of these services yourself, or you can hire a professional.

    Floridians rely on their air conditioning systems to counteract mold and humidity inside the house. A/C systems should be powerful and durable. Service contracts are recommended to keep central A/C systems working year round.
