How often should I schedule professional maintenance for my home?
Short Answer
We recommend annual comprehensive inspections with some elements like gutters requiring twice-yearly attention, though luxury properties often benefit from quarterly maintenance visits.
Long Answer
The frequency of professional maintenance depends on several factors including your home's age, materials used, local climate conditions, and how well the property has been maintained previously. Generally, we recommend annual comprehensive maintenance inspections to assess your property's condition and address any emerging issues.
Certain elements require more frequent attention. Gutters should be cleaned twice yearly, especially after autumn when leaves accumulate. Exterior paintwork typically needs inspection every 2-3 years, whilst timber decking may require annual treatment to protect against Melbourne's variable weather conditions.
For luxury homes with premium finishes and materials, we often recommend quarterly maintenance visits to ensure everything remains in optimal condition. Our maintenance team can create a customised schedule based on your property's specific requirements and your preferences for upkeep.
