5 Must-Do Home Repairs -
Kokomo Homeowner Tips

By Betty

In these uncertain times when finances are tight, you may be thinking about delaying home repairs until finances improve. That’s okay for some things, but there are some repairs that can cost you a lot more money if they aren’t done now. And I’m not talking about price increases, I’m talking about deterioration ofyour home!

The hard part is knowing which fixes can be delayed and which should be done now. This video from The Today Show outlines some must-do repairs and why they are important:

  • Re-sloping or re-grading soil away from the foundation
  • Replacing curled and cracked roofing shingles
  • Sealing damaged siding
  • Checking for wood destroying pests, treating and repairing damage
  • Treating mold and moisture issues

Maintaining your home now, preserves it and can help support resale value later. Most of us have several things that need to be fixed around the house, but many of them don’t have to be done now. What we are talking about here are repairs that if not done now, can turn into major problems down the road. And that’s when costs can really pile up.
