Most Common Home Repairs and What You’ll Pay
Our repair team is made of experienced handymen and contractors who do everything that keeps your home in pristine shape. Simply put: if there is something wrong with the exterior of your home, chances are we know how to fix it. These are the most common home repairs we see, what causes them, and an average repair price:
Loose Siding or Trim- One of the most common home repairs, loose siding and trim are crucial to fix properly. If your siding or trim was installed improperly the first time, you may see the pieces flapping in a particularly heavy wind. If left alone, loose siding can actually allow serious home water damage. Eventually, a loose piece of siding may blow off and cause damage to a neighboring home, a nearby car, or worse yet, injury to someone in your yard or a passerby.
- Many people see any roof leak and automatically assume the worst — that they need a new roof. However, some of the most common causes for small roof leaks are loose or missing shingles, or faulty trim around your chimney or other roof protrusions. These are generally easy fixes and the average home repair costs are fairly low.
- Home shutters play a crucial role in the curb appeal of your home, so if something goes wrong with them, you’ll want to fix it immediately. Damaged shutters are often caused by high winds and can usually be reattached or repaired in an hour or two. Once again, the average home repair costs tend to be modest for this project.
- By far, this is one of the most common home repairs during the fall months when leaves are falling. Many homeowners don’t realize it, but damaged gutters can actually lead to serious water infiltration issues when it rains. Fortunately, our team handles everything gutters need, from cleaning them out to repairing them.

- A variety of things can go wrong with an entry door, and we handle all of the potential issues. Whether the door needs new weather stripping to keep the cold out or the door doesn’t operate smoothly, our team can help fix it! However, if you’d rather install a brand new door, we’d love to help you find a gorgeous new option!
Luxury Installation and Upgrades
While these common home repairs are a crucial part of what we offer for clients, they are only the beginning. We are probably best known for our signature luxury upgrades that truly transform homes. For example, Eby Exteriors is known for our work with exceptional luxury siding like stucco and James Hardie fiber cement — which can help your home stand out like no other in the neighborhood! In addition, one of our specialties is Marvin window installation and we often use style-forward black-frame windows. On the other hand, building gorgeous outdoor living spaces is another area of expertise. Essentially, if you have a dream home project that will make an impact on the way you use and visualize your house, we’d love to talk to you about it!
