Getting ready to sell your home in the Metro Atlanta Area or Northwest Georgia? Don’t let small issues turn into big problems during the buyer’s inspection. At Georgia Home Finishes LLC, we help homeowners address the most common repair items so you can sell with confidence and avoid last-minute surprises.
1. Drywall Damage (Holes, Cracks, and Dings)
Even minor drywall imperfections can catch an inspector’s eye and raise concerns for buyers. Patch small holes with spackle and sand smooth; for larger holes or cracks, consider professional drywall repair for a seamless finish. Fresh paint can make your walls look clean and well-maintained.
2. Leaky Faucets and Plumbing Fixtures
Dripping faucets or slow leaks not only waste water but also signal potential plumbing issues. Replace worn washers, tighten connections, or upgrade to modern, water-efficient fixtures. Addressing leaks before inspection shows buyers your home is well cared for.
3. Trim Separation and Caulking Gaps
Gaps between trim, baseboards, or crown molding are common in Georgia’s climate. Fill gaps with paintable caulk and touch up with matching paint. This simple fix improves your home’s appearance and prevents negative inspection notes.
