Homeowner Tips

Congratulations on your New Landmark 24 Home

Moving into a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming, but taking these steps will help you settle in and make the transition smoother.

Whether you're relocating to a new city, state, or country, it opens up a world of possibilities and adventures. It's essential to acknowledge that it may also come with some challenges and adjustments. But with a positive attitude and an open heart, it can be an enriching and unforgettable journey.

Here are Three Essential Tips to Consider as you Settle into Your New Home.

Inspect the Home Thoroughly After Move-In

While new construction homes are typically built to modern standards and undergo quality checks, it's still crucial to perform a thorough inspection. Look for any cosmetic defects, such as paint or drywall issues, as well as functional concerns like plumbing leaks, electrical problems, or HVAC malfunctions. Document any issues you find and promptly notify the builder or developer to have them addressed under the warranty, if applicable.

Understand and Maintain Warranties

New construction homes often come with warranties that cover various components of the property. Read and understand the warranties provided by the builder or manufacturer, and keep track of their expiration dates. Common warranties include structural coverage, appliance warranties, and roofing warranties. Regular maintenance, such as changing filters and inspecting your home, can help prevent small issues from becoming major problems.

Landscaping and Drainage

Pay attention to the landscaping around your new home, especially regarding drainage. Improper drainage can lead to water pooling near the foundation, which may cause issues over time. Ensure that the ground slopes away from the house and that gutters and downspouts are installed correctly to divert rainwater away from the foundation. Well-maintained landscaping not only enhances the curb appeal of your home but also helps protect it from potential water damage.

What Our Homebuyers Are Saying

Landmark 24 was GREAT when we built our home in Pooler. From the beginning to the closing the people were helpful, things went (almost) according to schedule and since living in the home for almost a year we haven't had any problems and know the home was built right! I'm very thankful for the work they've done, they are continuing to build in our neighborhood and overall the professionalism is wonderful.
