Spring Cleaning? Don’t Forget These 5 Essential Home Repairs

When most people think about spring cleaning, they picture clearing out closets and scrubbing baseboards. But the start of spring is also the perfect opportunity to tackle those lingering repairs and home upgrades that can make your space safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

At FixedIt Handyman Services, we’ve seen firsthand how a few simple fixes each spring can save homeowners hundreds — sometimes thousands — in the long run. If you’re getting your home in shape for warmer weather, don’t forget these five often-overlooked repairs and upgrades:

1. Fix Leaky Faucets and Pipes

A dripping faucet might seem harmless, but over time it can waste gallons of water and increase your utility bill. Worse, hidden leaks under sinks or behind walls can cause water damage and mold. Our licensed plumber will not only fix the leak — we’ll make sure your plumbing is running efficiently and reliably.

2. Test and Replace Smoke Detectors

Spring is the ideal time to test all the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. These life-saving devices should be replaced every 10 years, and batteries should be swapped out at least once a year. If you’re unsure about their condition or just don’t want to get on a ladder, let FixedIt handle it for you — we’ll inspect, replace, and upgrade where needed to keep your family safe.

3. Touch Up Paint and Wall Damage

Scuffed walls, chipped paint, and minor drywall dings can make your home feel tired and unkempt. A quick refresh — even just on high-traffic walls — can dramatically improve your space. We’ll patch holes, sand surfaces, and apply clean, crisp coats of paint where needed.

4. Mount That TV or Vanity You’ve Been Putting Off

That flat-screen TV leaning against the wall? Or the bathroom vanity sitting in the box? Let us install it right — safely, securely, and with a polished finish. Whether it's a modern entertainment setup or a sleek new bathroom upgrade, we have the tools and experience to get it done fast and flawlessly.

5. Upgrade Old Hardware and Fixtures

Sometimes it's the small details that make a big difference. Outdated cabinet knobs, loose drawer pulls, rusty hinges, or squeaky door handles? Spring is the perfect time for a simple hardware upgrade. We can help you modernize your look, improve functionality, and add that extra touch of polish throughout your home.
