The Quick Fix List Every Shreveport Homeowner Should Keep
Owning a home in Shreveport means enjoying Southern charm… and dealing with Southern maintenance.
The truth? Our weather, humidity, and mix of old and new construction mean little repairs pop up all year long. If you keep a Quick Fix List, you can call a Daddy™ before those “little” things turn into weekend-ruining problems.
Why Keep a Quick Fix List?
Saves money: Grouping repairs into one handyman visit is cheaper than multiple call-outs.
Saves stress: You’re not scrambling at the last minute before guests arrive.
Prevents damage: Small issues become big (and expensive) fast in our climate.
Your Shreveport Quick Fix Checklist
1. Leaks & Drips
Under-sink plumbing
Faucets that won’t fully shut off
Water spots on walls or ceilings
💡 Why it matters: Humidity + water leaks = mold and warped wood.
2. Sticky Doors & Windows
Swollen door frames from humidity
Windows that jam or won’t lock
💡 Why it matters: Can be a safety risk and get worse with seasonal changes.
3. Loose or Wobbly Fixtures
Cabinet handles
Door knobs
Light switch plates
Ceiling fans with a wobble
💡 Why it matters: Loose parts can break or strip, making the fix harder later.
4. Electrical & Lighting Issues
Flickering lights
Outlets that don’t work
Switches that feel loose
💡 Why it matters: Electrical issues can be a fire hazard. Don’t wait.
5. Exterior Wear & Tear
Loose gutters
Rotted trim
Missing fence boards
💡 Why it matters: Louisiana storms can make small outdoor issues escalate overnight.
How to Use Your Quick Fix List
Keep it somewhere you can update often like a note on your phone, a clipboard in the laundry room, or even a whiteboard in the garage.
When your list has a few items, call your Daddy™ and knock them out in one visit. You’ll save time, money, and the headache of juggling multiple repair days.
📞 Stop letting your to-do list grow. Book your Daddy today and cross it all off in one trip.
