1. Follow Your Contractor’s Care Instructions
Every remodel includes materials with specific care requirements. Your contractor’s instructions may include:
When to clean newly installed floors and countertops
Which cleaning products are safe
How long surfaces need to cure
Warranty and material information
These guidelines protect your investment, so keep them handy—and when in doubt, ask Perfect Line Painting and Remodeling LLC for clarification.

2. Create a Post-Renovation Maintenance Schedule
A regular maintenance routine keeps your home in top shape. Try this simple schedule:
Monthly
Inspect caulking in kitchens and bathrooms
Wipe down cabinets, trim, and hardware
Check HVAC filters
Quarterly
Deep-clean floors and surfaces
Look for moisture spots or settling cracks
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors Annually
Inspect siding, gutters, roofing, and exterior paint
Re-seal tile grout, stone, or wood surfaces
Schedule with a HVAC and appliance servicing contractor
Consistent upkeep helps your renovation last years longer.

3. Protect High-Traffic Areas and Surfaces
Daily life can take a toll. Protect your new finishes by:
Using felt pads under furniture
Adding rugs where foot traffic is heavy
Avoiding abrasive or chemical cleaners
Using trivets, cutting boards, and coasters
These small steps help preserve your renovation’s fresh, flawless look.

4. Maintain Proper Temperature and Humidity
Many new materials—especially wood—depend on stable indoor conditions.
For best results: Humidity: Maintain 30–50%
Temperature: Keep between 65–75°F
Dehumidifiers are especially helpful in bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms to prevent mold or warping.
