{"product_id":"homeowner-do-it-yourself-general-maintenance-guide-9798397795432","title":"Homeowner Do It Yourself General Maintenance Guide","description":"I am an Accredited Homes Staging Professional and a member of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals. I also offer Home Watch Services, redesign of home interiors and project management to oversee the completion of the major projects by licensed \u0026amp; insured contractors, many of whom I have worked with for over 20 years. The first impressions of a home, whether selling a home or staging it for a vacation rental, is to update \u0026amp; stage appropriately to achieve the top selling price for the size and location of the property. Keep in mind, professional home staging is tax deductible as a marketing expense. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy experience in the hospitality business has provided me with the insights in helping maintain the homes and improve guest experiences, thus raising the property's visitor scores with Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and other booking websites in the vacation rental properties industry. Many have used my recommendations to improve occupancy goals for their properties, which has increased their income potential. We always try to advise owners to prevent risk management claims. I have also personally staged several of our vacation rentals and after complete home inspections, I consult with owners on how to update older properties. I work with a team of contractors, subcontractors, and vendors that are professionals in their various fields of expertise and are licensed with the state of AZ and insured\/bonded if required for that field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIndex of Homeowner Do It Yourself Guide \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I-Exterior 15\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreaker Box (label and spider webs) 15\u003cbr\u003eBBQ Pit, Patios \u0026amp; Decks 16\u003cbr\u003ePatio Furniture 18\u003cbr\u003eFencing, Sidewalks, \u0026amp; Stairs 19\u003cbr\u003eFireplaces, Fire Pits, \u0026amp; Chiminea 21\u003cbr\u003eGutters \u0026amp; Scuppers 22\u003cbr\u003eHVAC\/Swamp Coolers 25\u003cbr\u003eLandscaping \u0026amp; Irrigation Systems 26\u003cbr\u003ePest Control 28\u003cbr\u003eProperty Drainage 31\u003cbr\u003eSwimming Pools 32 \u003cbr\u003eHot Tubs 33\u003cbr\u003eWalls \u0026amp; Roofs 34\u003cbr\u003eVinyl or Other Types of Siding 35\u003cbr\u003eBrick Siding Construction 36\u003cbr\u003eRoofs 37\u003cbr\u003eShingle Roofs 38\u003cbr\u003eTile Roofs 39\u003cbr\u003eShaker Roofs 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II-Interior 41\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAir Vents \u0026amp; Filters 42\u003cbr\u003eBathroom (Shower \u0026amp; Sink Drain, \u0026amp; Toilets) 43\u003cbr\u003eFlooring \u0026amp; Baseboards 45\u003cbr\u003eCaulking \u0026amp; Weather Stripping 45\u003cbr\u003eCeiling fans \u0026amp; light fixtures 46\u003cbr\u003eLight Bulbs 47\u003cbr\u003eElectric Outlets \u0026amp; GFI Outlets 48\u003cbr\u003eFireplaces, Chimney \u0026amp; Flue 49\u003cbr\u003eGas Fireplaces 50\u003cbr\u003eGas Assist Fireplaces 50\u003cbr\u003eElectric Fireplaces 51\u003cbr\u003eFixtures 52 \u003cbr\u003eWall Mirrors, Wall Art, \u0026amp; Display Shelves 53\u003cbr\u003eEssential Tools 54\u003cbr\u003eFurniture Integrity 56\u003cbr\u003eInterior Ceilings \u0026amp; Walls 57\u003cbr\u003eKitchen 58\u003cbr\u003eKitchen Large Appliances 60\u003cbr\u003eKitchen Small Appliances 62\u003cbr\u003ePest Control 62\u003cbr\u003ePlumbing 64\u003cbr\u003eWater Filtration Systems 64\u003cbr\u003eReverse Osmosis Systems 66\u003cbr\u003eWells 69\u003cbr\u003eSeptic \u0026amp; Alternative Systems 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection III-Safety \u0026amp; Security 75\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarbon Monoxide Detectors 76\u003cbr\u003eSmoke Detectors 77\u003cbr\u003eFire Extinguishers 78\u003cbr\u003eFirst Aid Kits 80\u003cbr\u003eLadders, Stepstools, Brooms, \u0026amp; Mops 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection IV-Recommended Contracted Services 83\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHome Warranty Package 83\u003cbr\u003eProperty Insurance 83\u003cbr\u003eLegal \u0026amp; Tax Advice 83\u003cbr\u003eProfessional Home Inspections 83\u003cbr\u003eProfessional Landscaper 83\u003cbr\u003eProfessional Pest Control Service 83\u003cbr\u003eChimney Cleanings 84\u003cbr\u003eDryer and HVAC Vents 84\u003cbr\u003eDeadwooding \u0026amp; Proper Watering of Trees 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRemodels, Redesigns, and Staging by a Professional 89\u003cbr\u003eSection V-Do it Yourself Recommended Tool Inventory 90\u003cbr\u003eSection VI-Monthly, Quarterly \u0026amp; Semi-Annual Maintenance Checklist 93\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gina Hull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798397795432\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43652886528115,"sku":"9.7984E+12","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_7996a55b-47a8-41af-adf9-1d18c60e3e04.jpg?v=1756295039","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/homeowner-do-it-yourself-general-maintenance-guide-9798397795432","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
