Interior

The interior of a home accumulates small problems quietly. A stiff hinge, cracked grout, a fan running the wrong direction for the season: none of these are emergencies on their own, but left alone they compound. Moisture gets into tile joints. Doors stop latching cleanly. Air circulation suffers. The work of interior maintenance is mostly catching things before they become repairs.

Regular attention to fans, doors, hardware, and enclosed spaces like attics, basements, and crawlspaces keeps the home functional and gives you a clear picture of what's actually going on inside it. What you find during a routine check is almost always cheaper to address than what you find during a leak or a sale.
