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.
