5 Home Repairs You Can Do Yourself

Prep Your Paint Jobs

Grab a damp cloth and wipe down moldings and trim. Then remove everything from the walls and place all the furniture in the middle of the room. Mask any molding, built-ins and baseboards with painter's tape and start laying down drop cloths. Then you are good to go.

Noisy Doors

No likes a squeaky door. If your doors make noise every time you enter or exit it might be time to lube them up. First put a cloth under the door to catch the drips, then apply a few drops of oil or lubricant to each hinge. That should fix the squeak.

Caulking 101

First remove the old caulk or else the new caulk won’t stick. The make sure you cut the tip of the cauld tube at an angle and make sure the hole is big enough to fit the widest part of the gap your filling. Then it is literally like drawing a straight line along your gap.

Repairing a Faucet

In most instances, addressing a leak by changing out the washer is the most logical place to start diagnosing the problem.

Clogged Toilet

Get familiar with a plunger and snakes. The flanged plungers work the best because they create the best seal.
