Is an annual maintenance contract worth it for a home in Al Shwqya, Makkah? For most owners the answer depends on how much a property is used and how quickly small faults turn into costly repairs.

An annual contract is built around scheduled inspection visits rather than emergency calls. Each maintenance visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, so owners can budget for the year in advance instead of facing unexpected bills. During a visit, the technician checks the condition of surfaces, fixtures and connections, notes anything that needs attention, and separates minor adjustments that can be completed on the spot from larger jobs that need a separate quotation. If restoration work is required, it is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², which allows the owner to compare the scope of the work against the area involved before agreeing to proceed.
Before the first visit, it helps to gather the property details in one place: the address with the coordinates if known, a rough list of areas that have caused trouble in the past, and any earlier repair invoices. Clear access arrangements matter too, so the technician can reach roof spaces, storage areas and utility points without delay. Note which rooms are used least, since those often hide the first signs of damp or wear. Having these notes ready lets the visit focus on the real concerns, and it gives the owner a clear record to compare against at the next scheduled inspection.
The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.
