Check exterior wood and trim

Look for soft spots, peeling paint and open joints around fascia, siding, windows and doors. Small areas of exposed or rotted wood allow more moisture in and can grow quickly after storms.

Fence gates and deck boards deserve the same walk-around. Tightening hardware or replacing one damaged board early can prevent a larger repair.

Group small jobs efficiently

Door adjustments, shelving, drywall patches, trim repair and loose hardware are often too small for a specialty contractor. Keeping one written list makes it easier to complete several repairs during the same visit.

Put safety and water damage first, followed by items that are getting worse. Cosmetic work can follow once the underlying repair is sound.

Prepare before selling or leasing

Inspection lists often combine many trades into a short deadline. Addressing visible damage, sticking doors, wall patches and exterior touch-ups can help a home feel cared for without starting a full remodel.
