Most homeowners simply cannot wait to indulge in their home’s new features and get back into a normal routine when the remodeling is finally finished. There are a few steps, however, you should take to ensure your home is better preserved for years to come before you get too comfortable living in your newly defined space. We at JBS Custom Remodeling, would like to elaborate and list the important steps you should take following your quality remodel services.
Register All of the Warranty Items
There are quite a few features in your home that covers the dings, dents, and other disasters that occur within a year or so of the completion of the remodeling project, and more than likely, your contractor has the warranties on them. Upgraded appliances like the wine coolers, fridges, air conditioners, ovens, or washers/dryers, will also have their own warranties that likely exceed the contractor’s warranty they provided. Be sure to take the time and register these high-dollar items and be sure to have the paperwork handy when you do; they can be typically registered fast and simple.
Ask Your Contractor About Maintenance
A few examples of the things that will need maintenance about every year is the filters will have to be changed, unfinished woods and natural stones will need to be re-sealed, hard water, other plumbing fixtures and water-based appliances may need to be deep cleaned to prevent buildup as well. Where many people do not have the know-how to tackle these important maintenance tasks, it is important that you ask your contractor the basics, or at least offer recommendations. To ensure your systems, materials, and appliances last be sure to consult a professional of the various elements in your home.
Take Photos of Home Remodel
Possessing photos of the finished results can be of great use, in the rare case of theft or damage. Photos can be an asset to you and the builder as it can be a good way to commemorate a job well done and you can share the photos and testimonials on their website to highlight their efforts. Additionally, these photos can be a big help in settling any warranty disputes as you can reference the original look of the completed job as you need it.

Be sure you do not neglect the above-mentioned steps as you do not have to wait until the very end of your remodeling project or immediately afterwards to perform them. Simply because an expensive item like an air conditioner doesn’t get registered properly, and if/when it breaks down, homeowners are faced all too often with a bill instead of a free or low-cost replacement and are left to deal with it on their own. Making all the difference in the world, due diligence can really be a lifesaver if an incident should occur.
