Why Waiting to Fix That “Little Thing” Around Your House Is Costing You More Than You Think

You know that leaky faucet you keep ignoring? Or that soft spot on your deck you’ve meant to look at? Most homeowners do the same thing: we wait. And wait. Until it becomes a real problem—and a real expense.

At In House, we’ve seen it all. And we’ve learned that the longer you wait, the more it costs.

The High Cost of “It’s Probably Fine”

Here’s what waiting looks like in real life:

  • A clogged gutter becomes a flooded basement

  • A dirty furnace filter turns into a $5,000 HVAC replacement

  • A minor foundation crack expands into a major leak

  • A sticky window… turns into a full replacement during winter

What starts as a $100 fix quickly turns into a $1,000+ repair. Not to mention the stress of trying to find someone reliable last minute.

Why We Procrastinate (It’s Not Just You)

Homeownership doesn’t come with a manual. You’re busy. And finding a plumber, a handyman, and an HVAC tech—plus getting them to show up—is a full-time job.

That’s why we built In House. So you don’t have to play contractor roulette every time something breaks. And more importantly—so things don’t break in the first place.

Proactive Maintenance = Peace of Mind

We handle:

  • Seasonal walk-throughs to catch small issues early

  • Gutter cleaning, furnace checks, power washing, sealing, you name it

  • On-demand fixes and bigger project coordination

  • And yes, emergency repairs—if it ever gets to that point

One subscription. One point of contact. A home that runs the way it should.
