It’s easy to put off small home repairs, especially when life gets busy.
But procrastination can turn a $50 fix into a $500 problem.
Here are five common things homeowners delay and why it’s better to handle them sooner rather than later:
1. Leaky Faucets or Toilets
Drips waste water and money, and can lead to hidden water damage or mold.
Replacing a worn washer today can prevent a costly pipe repair tomorrow.
2. Peeling Paint or Caulk
Exposed surfaces around tubs, windows, and baseboards invite moisture and decay.
A quick reseal or repaint can prevent wood rot or mildew.
3. Loose or Creaky Steps
Steps and stairs can become serious safety hazards.
Fixing a stair tread or tightening a handrail is cheap and fast because waiting until someone trips could cost a lot more.
4. Flickering Lights or Dead Outlets
These may seem minor but often signal deeper electrical problems.
A handyman can diagnose and fix issues early before they cause damage or fire risk.
5. Door or Window Drafts
Gaps let in moisture and make your home less energy efficient.
Caulking, weather stripping, or adjustments can save on energy bills and it can also protect your home from water intrusion.
