2025 Guide to Home Maintenance: How to Save Time and Money This Year
Homeownership comes with many responsibilities, and staying on top of maintenance tasks is essential to preserving the value, safety, and comfort of your home. In 2025, with rising labor and material costs, proactive home maintenance isn't just about avoiding headaches—it's about saving serious money and time.
That’s where In House comes in. As Chicago’s trusted partner for personalized home maintenance, In House helps homeowners streamline essential tasks, prevent costly issues, and reclaim their weekends with expert support and all-in-one service.
Why Home Maintenance Matters in 2025
In today's market, costs for emergency repairs have risen by over 20% since 2022, while contractor wait times have doubled in many areas. That means putting off small issues can quickly become costly disasters. A leaky pipe today can be a mold remediation project tomorrow. A clogged gutter this spring could lead to a damaged foundation next year.
Routine maintenance ensures that your home systems run efficiently, avoids surprise repairs, and preserves your home’s value.
With In House, you're not reacting to problems—you're preventing them.
