House Warming (Griha Pravesh) Service Checklist India 2026

3-week house-warming timeline

Work backwards from the pooja date. A first house-warming is usually the very first meal in the house, so kitchen and pooja space must be ready.

• 3 weeks out — book carpenter, cleaner, plumber, electrician and cook.
• 2 weeks out — carpenter: any last hinge, wardrobe or door fix.
• 10 days out — plumber and electrician: water motor check, geyser install, socket check.
• 4–5 days out — move-in / deep clean by Solve24 cleaner.
• 1–2 days before — small decor, curtains up, flower arrangements.
• Day of — cook arrives 4 hours before pooja; food ready for post-pooja meal.

2026 house-warming service costs

These are Solve24 labour rates. Priest and pooja materials are separate from services.

What every first-day house-warming misses

These are the fixes that people wish they had done before the pooja.

• A pre-check on the water motor — you do not want the first meal to be cooked with no water pressure.
• Ceiling fans installed and tested — the ₹200–₹500 per fan labour is worth it, not day-of stress.
• Kitchen chimney fitted before the first meal — cooking smoke on Day 1 stains fresh paint.
• Bathroom silicone applied and dry — takes 24 hours.
• Ground-floor drains cleared — you will use them heavily on Day 1.
• Fridge in place and running for 24 hours before food goes in.

Kitchen and pooja room priority list

These are the two rooms that must be 100% ready. Bedrooms can be a work in progress.

• Pooja room: clean, wall paint dry, altar set, light fittings tested.
• Kitchen: chimney working, sink drain flowing, gas connection verified, basic utensils in place.
• A cook needs a functional kitchen 4 hours before the meal — plan accordingly.
• Dining area: cleared, chairs and table in place, floor cleaned.
• Living room: sofa in place, TV in place if needed for pooja.
