Costs

Routine maintenance can save you money in the long run. For example, repairs can be more affordable than new construction, and identifying and fixing problems early can help prevent accidents and injuries.

Value
Home repairs can help your home appreciate over time, and can make it more attractive to potential buyers. For example, if you're planning to sell your home, you can avoid last-minute repairs by keeping it in good condition. You can also consider renovations that offer the highest cost recovery, such as refinishing hardwood floors, converting a basement to living space, or overhauling a closet.
