"5 Common Home Repairs That Should Never Be Ignored (Especially Before Selling)"
Whether you're planning to sell your home or just trying to stay ahead of maintenance, some repairs are too important to put off. At Hibbs Construction LLC, we see firsthand how small issues turn into major (and costly) problems when they're ignored for too long.
Here are five common home repairs that should never be delayed — especially if you're prepping your home for market or dealing with a BINSR repair list.
1. 🚰 Leaky Faucets & Plumbing Fixtures
What seems like a slow drip can actually waste hundreds of gallons of water a year. Worse, minor leaks can lead to mold, warped cabinetry, and water damage that scares off potential buyers.
Fix it now: Replacing worn-out seals, gaskets, or fixtures is quick and affordable — especially when caught early.
2. 🧱 Cracked or Damaged Drywall
Holes in the wall, nail pops, and corner cracks not only look bad, but can be a red flag for buyers. During a home inspection, these issues can raise concerns about settling, moisture, or previous poor repairs.
Pro tip: Our team can patch, match texture, and repaint drywall.
3. 🔌 Loose Electrical Outlets or Light Switches
Wiggly plugs or non-working outlets are more than an annoyance — they could be a safety hazard. During a sale, inspectors will note even minor electrical problems on a BINSR report.
Licensed repair: We handle outlet replacements, light switch repairs, and fixture upgrades safely and to code.
4. 🪟 Drafty Doors & Windows
If you feel a breeze when everything’s shut, your doors and windows probably need adjustment or weatherproofing. That can lead to high energy bills, pest entry, and lower buyer confidence.
Our fix: We inspect and repair hinges, seals, and frames so your home feels solid and efficient.
5. 🛠️ Exterior Damage (Stucco, Trim, Fencing)
Peeling paint, cracked stucco, and rotting fences instantly affect curb appeal. More importantly, they’re red flags for deferred maintenance.
If you're preparing to sell your home, these cosmetic fixes can make a big difference in first impressions — and final offers.
