Adapting to life as a parent has its challenges. As much as you love your little one, they do come with a lot of needs and responsibilities. You may find yourself exhausted at the end of the day, yet still struggling to get everything done. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and there is help available. One way to simplify your life as a new parent is to sign up for subscription home maintenance. Here’s a closer look at home maintenance plans and their benefits for new parents.

What Is A Home Maintenance Subscription Plan?

If you sign up for a home maintenance subscription, the company you hire will send someone out to your home, on a regular basis, to tackle a wide range of maintenance tasks. You can choose between monthly and quarterly plans. Monthly plans tend to work well for really busy new parents. Once your child is a little older, you may find you’re able to switch to a quarterly plan.

What Tasks Do Home Maintenance Services Perform?

A home maintenance company doesn’t do your laundry or your daily cleaning, but they do handle a long list of other tasks you may struggle to find time for as a new parent.

Here are some of the key indoor maintenance tasks these professionals can tackle:

  • Checking smoke and CO detectors
  • Checking fire extinguishers
  • Changing air filters
  • Emptying dehumidifiers
  • Cleaning drains
  • Repairing caulk
  • Replacing water filters

Your maintenance technician will also care for the exterior of the home. Here are some tasks they handle:

  • Inspecting hose bubs
  • Trimming trees
  • Servicing the garage door
  • Installing storm windows or screens

What Are The Benefits of a Home Maintenance Subscription Plan?

Signing up for a home maintenance plan saves you time as a new parent. Instead of worrying about installing storm windows or cleaning your drains, you can spend more time caring for your little one. Or, you can spend your extra time getting some much-needed sleep.

Knowing that someone else is handling these tasks can reduce your stress levels and bring you more peace of mind. People are better able to parent when they’re not stressed out. You may have an easier time remaining positive and truly enjoying yourself when you’re with your child.

With subscription home maintenance, your home may also be a safer place for both you or your little one. You won’t have to worry about a dead smoke detector battery putting your life at risk because you forgot to change it. You’re also reassured that any potential hazards with your roof, foundation, or appliances will be discovered and addressed by your home service technician.

If life as a new parent has started to feel a bit overwhelming, it’s time to take action. Consider signing up for either a monthly or quarterly maintenance plan from Mantel Home Services. Our technicians will keep an eye on your home and make sure it remains a safe, enjoyable place for you to raise children.
