7 Common Home Repairs Every Coeur d’Alene Homeowner Faces (and How to Fix Them)

Owning a home in Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, or Post Falls is rewarding from the mountain views to the cozy neighborhood feel. But like anywhere, homes here need regular upkeep to stay in top shape.

At Lakeview Fix It Crew, we handle these repairs every week for local homeowners, snowbirds, and Airbnb hosts. Here are the most common home issues in North Idaho and what to do about them.

1. Leaky Faucets and Dripping Fixtures

Not only do they waste water, but they can also lead to higher utility bills and water damage over time. Most can be fixed by replacing washers or cartridges or you can let us handle it quickly.

2. Drafty Doors and Windows

Our cold winters make this a common problem. Adding weatherstripping or sealing gaps keeps your home warmer and your heating bills lower.

3. Clogged Gutters

Leaves, pine needles, and debris can cause backups that lead to water damage. We recommend cleaning gutters twice a year or adding it to your Lakeview HomeCare Club seasonal service.

4. Loose or Squeaky Doors

From wobbly hinges to misaligned frames, we can tighten, replace, or adjust so your doors open smoothly and close securely.

5. Outdated or Broken Light Fixtures

Upgrading lighting not only improves appearance but can increase energy efficiency. We install everything from chandeliers to smart home lighting.

6. Fence and Gate Repairs

Snow, wind, and general wear can weaken fencing. We repair panels, posts, and gates to keep your yard safe and private.

7. Minor Drywall Damage

Dings, dents, and small holes are inevitable. We patch, sand, and paint so your walls look brand new.
