Let us help!

Selling your home is no small feat. Many sellers don’t realize that a small amount of maintenance can decrease potential issues found in the inspection process. Additionally, it can increase the value of your home. Just Maintenance offers services to get your home ready for sale in the best shape possible.

General & Aesthetic Home Improvements

It’s time to sell your home. Just Maintenance has the experience to help make the changes and upgrades that will help you pass all inspections and increase the value of your home.

You only have one chance for your home t make a good impression. And a home that shows well, sells well. Buyers also appreciate a home that appears to be well maintained. 

Quick fixes before selling typically pay off more than mammoth makeovers. You probably won’t get your money back if you do a huge improvement project before putting your house on the market. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar.

Here are a few updates that Just Maintenance can assist with:

• Paint front door.

• Clean walls and/or touch up painting.

• Fresh coat of neutral color on walls.

• Update lighting fixtures.

• Replace damaged gutters.

• Fix broken windows.

• Replace door handles or cabinet hardware.

• Make sure closet doors are on track.

• Fix leaky faucets.

• Repair damaged drywall.

• Prepare your house for township use and occupancy inspection (if applicable).

Use and Occupancy (U&O) Inspection Repairs

If you’re selling a home in Pennsylvania, you’re probably required to have a Use & Occupancy Inspection before beforehand. Here’s what you need to know about use and occupancy (U&O) inspections in Pennsylvania. 

What is a Use & Occupancy Inspection?

U&O Inspections, conducted by the township of residency, are a method of insuring the safety of the next homeowner. Because the requirements for each U&O inspection vary by township so it’s important to check with your local government for those specifics. If you need help finding the requirements for your township please contact us. We can help!

What is Typically Listed on a U&O Inspection? 

While the list of inspected items differs by locations, there are certain items we frequently see inspected in most townships. Inspectors usually look for issues in connection to safety and general function of the home.

Exterior: Foundation, sidewalks and curbs, siding and windows, house numbers, high grass and weeds, sheds, GFCIs, driveways, outdoor lights, roof condition, gutters, and downspouts. 

Interior: smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, handrails, ceilings, heating, water supply, fire extinguishers, stairwells, exits, walls, flooring, and GFCIs.
