5 Small Home Repairs in Kamloops That Prevent Big Headaches Later

Kamloops homes take a beating-dry air, big temperature swings, and strong sun all year round.
Most serious (and expensive) repairs don’t start big. They start small… and get ignored.

Here are 5 small home repairs we see all the time in Kamloops that are worth tackling early

1. Cracked Caulking Around Windows & Doors

Tiny gaps = drafts, moisture, and heat loss.

In Kamloops’ dry climate, caulking shrinks faster than people expect. Left alone, those cracks let water sneak in during rain or snowmelt.

Definitely a Quick fix, however, can be quite Expensive if ignored. 

If you’d like Trusted Reno to assist you with any Sealing or caulking of any joints, or any other areas of your home, please check out our Caulking Services Page HERE

2. Loose Trim & Separating Joints

If baseboards or door trim are pulling away, it’s usually seasonal movement-not poor construction.

But once gaps open, dust, moisture, and pests follow.

A clean re-secure + touch-up now beats drywall repairs later.

Molding/Trim repair or installation is something we do a ton of. Please check out our Molding/Trim Services Page HERE. 

3. Deck Boards Starting to Lift or Shift

Kamloops decks see sun, heat, and freeze-thaw cycles.
A slightly raised board today becomes a split board-or a safety issue-tomorrow.

Early fixes extend the life of the whole deck.

Fence/Deck Repair is certianly a skill we hold in our home repair arsenal. See more HERE on our Fence/Deck Services Page

4. Sticking Doors or Latches

If a door suddenly sticks, don’t force it.

That’s often a sign of:

• Subtle framing movement
• Hinge issues
• Seasonal expansion

A simple adjustment now prevents hardware damage or frame wear.

5. Small Drywall Cracks

Hairline cracks around windows, doors, or ceilings are common here.

The trick is knowing which ones are harmless-and which ones aren’t.

We repair them cleanly so they don’t keep coming back year after year.

While we definitely hope you can avoid major drywall repair through preventitive action, we know things happen so don’t hesitate to check out our Drywall Services Page HERE.
