8 Essential Items Every New Homeowner Should Have
Moving into a new home is so exciting that sometimes we forget about the various items we may need in a pinch. Here is your guide to the essentials you’ll need in your new home.
Tool Kit
Having a tool kit around is a must. Sometimes, unexpected problems happen and you’ll need the tools to get the job done quickly! Keep a hammer, screwdriver, screws and nails, a level, pliers, and a tape measurer handy!
Extension Cords
This may not seem like an essential to have around but you may need an extension cord when you least expect it, especially for home improvement projects.
Cleaning Supplies
Sometimes, the previous owners of a home leave their space messy. You may need more than just a sponge! Keep a pair or two of rubber gloves around for cleaning as well as various surface disinfectants.
Fire Extinguisher
Keeping a small fire extinguisher readily accessible is a great way to be prepared in case of an emergency.
New Locks and Keys
Make sure to switch out the locks and keys from the previous homeowner to prevent unwanted guests coming into your home.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Keep your family and home safe by installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when moving in.
A Ladder
You never know when you might have to get up to a hard to reach area! Having a ladder will allow you to quickly get the items you need or complete a quick fix.
Batteries
Batteries are often overlooked but you never know when you might need some! You will always have a use for batteries so be sure to stock up!
