Layer your lighting
Combine ceiling, task and lamp light in every room so it works for reading, cooking and relaxing.
Test paint at home
Paint large swatches on two walls and look at them morning and evening before you commit.
Protect wood floors
Felt pads under furniture and mats at every door keep grit from dulling hardwood finishes.
Watch your mortar
Crumbling joints let water into brick walls. Repoint with a soft mortar that suits older brick.
Clear gutters each season
Blocked gutters overflow against walls and foundations. Clean them in late spring and late autumn.
Plant for small yards
Containers, climbers and native perennials make a compact city yard feel green without much upkeep.
Test alarms monthly
Press the test button on every smoke and carbon monoxide alarm and replace any that are past their date.
Practise your escape plan
Know two ways out of every room and agree a meeting spot outside with everyone in the home.
Light every entrance
Motion lights at the front door, back gate and alley deter intruders and prevent trips after dark.
Find hidden drafts
On a windy day, hold a candle or incense stick near window frames and outlets to spot air leaks.
Check your roof before solar
If your roof is near the end of its life, replace it first so panels do not need removing later.
Seal before you heat
Weatherstripping and attic insulation often make a bigger difference than a new heating system.
Get written quotes
Ask for a clear written scope, materials list and schedule so quotes can be compared fairly.
Keep warranty papers
Store manuals, receipts and warranty documents in one folder so claims are quick and easy.
Plan a contingency
Set aside a reserve for surprises, especially in older homes where walls can hide old wiring or rot.
