If you aren't naturally handy, keeping up with home maintenance tasks can feel daunting. Many people are under the misguided impression that unless their job is big, contractors won't be interested. Thankfully, this is not the case, and there are home repair services that can take care of these little tasks for them. Here is a look at four common repairs or maintenance chores your home may need.

1. Air Conditioning Installation

If you don't have central air conditioning, a window unit can keep you cool. However, window air conditioning units are extremely heavy and virtually impossible to maneuver to the second floor without the right tools.

Additionally, a window air conditioning unit must be properly installed to ensure it is securely in the window. Instead of struggling to do the job yourself, a handyman home repair service can take care of installation in spring and removal in fall for you.

2. Ceiling Fan Installation

Your home can be considerably more comfortable in both summer and winter when you have ceiling fans to move the air in your home. In summer, a ceiling fan will help keep you cool and will better distribute the chilled air from your air conditioner. In the wintertime, a ceiling fan will push the hot air that has risen to the ceiling downward. This will keep your rooms more comfortable and more evenly disperse the heat.

3. Drywall Repair

It's not uncommon for drywall to become damaged. Kids roughhouse. The dining room chairs get pushed back a little too vigorously. A door is pushed open with too much force and the doorknob slams the wall. A home repair service can easily fix the dings and holes common in drywall mishaps.

4. New Fixture Installation

You don't need to do a complete gut job to update your kitchen and bathroom and make it look or function better. You can have a home repair service replace that old dingy toilet and outdated kitchen sink. You can have them add a grab bar near the bathtub or hang a new towel bar by the sink so your bathroom looks and works better. The same types of quick fixes can be used in the kitchen. A new sink and counter top as well as new kitchen cupboard hardware can instantly make your kitchen look brand new again. If your budget is small, even new faucets in the bathroom and kitchen can make a lot of difference.
