[quote=Anonymous]The only extra maintenance I have on my 1925 home is having to paint the wood siding every 10 year. This isn't unique to an old home...but I would think most modern homes use manmade materials that don't get painted. My utilities costs are very reasonable...certainly much lower than many new builds of similar square footage (though I realize comparing my 1925 DC home to a home in VA may be the result of just higher per kW charges or gas charges for heat in VA vs. DC...I don't know). Much of this is due to having smaller rooms vs. an open floor plan. Every house will likely need new roof, HVAC, heat, etc. after like 20 years.[/quote]
