Tips For New Home Owners
First time home owners can easily find themselves overwhelmed by the experiece of
selecting, purchasing, closing and then moving into their new home. It is an exhilarating experience to say the least. Congratulations to you on surviving the whole process with your sanity intact!
Now that you have been living in your new home for a while, you may want to know a little bit more about the structure and maintenance issues you have just purchased. Unlike an automobile or other big ticket item, homes don’t come with an Owners Manual!
That is where this series of videos comes in. Mike Durr, “The Kingwood Mortgage Guy” and Bob Mabry, President & CEO of Handyman Matters North Houston, have collaborated on a video series to help new home owners learn about the mechanical systems and maintenance issues, YOU, Mr. or Mrs. New Home Owner, have just taken on.
In this series, we will walk you through some of the basic maintenance issues that come with home ownership. If you implement these procedures into your routine, your home will last a lot longer and have fewer high cost repairs needed. Check back from time to time as we will be adding additional video tips for you to take advantage of.
The first video in the series tells about how to maintain your home’s air conditioning drain system.

Not following the advice in this video will lead to major damage in your home eventually. Nobody wants that!
