The most commonly delayed home repairs
Source: Sears Home Services
Seventy percent of homeowners of about 1,000 recently surveyed say they have
delayed home repairs since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a
new report from Sears Home Services. Some consider those home repairs
“critical,” too. Furthermore, nearly 60 percent of homeowners surveyed say they
felt it’s acceptable to put off critical home repairs in the pandemic.
Many homeowners may be delaying home repairs due to their finances, the survey
finds. Homeowners under financial stress are the most likely to report
postponing repairs to broken appliances (34%), water damage (31%), electrical
issues (30%), and roof repairs (29%), according to the survey. These postponed
repairs, however, could result in pricier fixes later on or even dangers.
