Simple and Inexpensive Home Repairs

Most of us are very guilty of doing “lazy home repair”. Let’s face it, you start a project such as painting a room and never finish it completely. You might think you finished it, but did you paint the molding, finish the trim, and give the ceiling a fresh coat of paint? More than likely, you didn’t. That’s ok – many of us are very guilty of doing the same.

If you are constricted in trying to get a home repair project done over the weekend, the trick is to not try to do too much at one time. Here are some ideas of simple projects you can do in your home over a weekend that won’t break the bank.

Check your driveway for cracks. You can purchase driveway caulk and repair the cracks and gaps that have appeared on your driveway and sidewalk. Be sure to follow the instructions on the caulk to ensure proper drying.

Trim hedges and bushes. It’s not too early to get your hedges and bushes looking great for spring! Trimming them now will also help to promote new growth.

Install a new front door, or paint your current one. Giving your front door a new look does wonders for the look of your home. After all, the front door does really give the first impression!

Organize your garage. Over the winter, more than likely your garage has many items strewn about. More than likely, the snowblower, shovel and salt still haven’t been put away. Get the garage back in order by making sure your tools are all back in their home, boxes are on shelves, and everything has a place. Sweep out your garage and use a bug spray to start preventing them from coming into your home.
