First, ignoring gutters—clogged leaves lead to ice dams that rip shingles and flood basements; We’ve climbed too many SLC roofs to count.
Second, skipping furnace checks—a dirty filter burns out your system, leaving you shivering in Salt Lake’s January cold; I can swap it fast.
Third, DIY electrical hacks—loose wires spark fires, and I’ve rewired enough Salt Lake County messes to know pros beat guesswork.
Fourth, neglecting caulk—cracked seals around windows or tubs let drafts and water in, spiking bills and mold risks in Utah’s dry air; my quick reseal saves the day.
Finally, overlooking drywall cracks—Salt Lake’s temp swings pop nails and split walls; I patch them seamless before they grow. These slip-ups hit Salt Lake County hard—frozen pipes, burnt motors, or flooded rooms aren’t cheap.
