Fixing up your home may sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. While major repairs should be left to the professionals, there are a few super easy home repairs you can undertake yourself. Knowing how to fix things at home is going to save you plenty of money in the long run and can come in really handy if professionals aren’t available, or if they’re not allowed to step inside. Here are six super easy home repairs you can definitely accomplish yourself!
1“Sticky” windows
Windows, particularly those with iron frames, can begin to stick after years of wear and tear. Fortunately, getting them back to sliding smoothly doesn’t require a professional. All you really need is a silicone-based lubricant. Make sure that it’s safe to use on your window’s material, spray up the window hinges and voilà, they will open and close like brand new frames! Top tip: you can reuse the same lubricant for locks, drawers and other sticking items.
