4. Handyman services
Big jobs notwithstanding, setting up your home post-move means checking off a lot of smaller tasks: mounting the TV, hanging picture frames on drywall, brick, or concrete, mounting shelves, installing new light fixtures, re-caulking the bathtub, and other general repairs and maintenance. While most of these jobs sound easy enough, why risk a botched job if you aren’t fully comfortable doing it? Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to get your DIY fix.

6. Change your locks
If your realtor hasn’t already seen to it, it’s important to have all your locks changed as soon as you move into your new home.

With vetted professionals, preset industry-standard rates, convenient booking, and a user-friendly platform, Jiffy is the easiest way to book a great locksmith in your area.

There will always be dirt, dust and allergens that vacuuming won’t be able to reach.
