There are many different areas that will require your attention and maintenance with the passage of time.

• The most important and fragile part of your house is wood material

Be it flooring, furniture, doors, cabinets or windowpanes, wood has to be the very first thing to be monitored. Ignorance towards the wood may lead to the growth of termites leaving you with a hollow object. On an annual basis, it is important that you get fumigation done. When you inspect doors and windows, check for caulking. Get it done timely to save expenses that may pile up if the problem pertains.
