Home repairs can be expensive, but there are ways to save money without breaking the bank. One of the most effective ways is to do DIY projects.
- Cleaning and decluttering your home can make a big difference in the cost of repairs. Removing unnecessary items and cleaning surfaces can reduce the amount you need to repair.
- Replacing light bulbs or replacing worn-out door handles can be a simple and inexpensive way to save money on home repairs.
"When it comes to DIY home repairs, the key is to identify the problem and find creative solutions," says Sarah Johnson, a homeowner in San Francisco. "By taking on small projects, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars over time."
- DIY projects don't have to be major renovations. Start with smaller tasks like painting walls or replacing outlet covers.
- Tackle small issues before they become bigger problems. For example, if a leaky faucet is dripping water onto your floor, replace the valve instead of calling a plumber.
