The Local Pros I Trust for Repairs Before Selling Your Home
When sellers ask me who they should call for repairs before listing, I give them the same three names: my friend Mark Moser of Moser’s Home Solutions for handyman work, Mike Egerdeen at Fox Electrical Services for anything electrical, and Brad McDonald Roofing & Construction for roofs. They show up, they do quality work at fair prices, and they treat my clients the way I would.
Selling a home often comes with a long to-do list. I’ve always told sellers that if something needs to be done, I either know how to handle it or I know someone who can. These are the people I mean.
Why the Right Repairs Matter Before You List
Sellers see memories. Buyers see projects. A stained ceiling, a sticking door, a flickering light or an aging roof each tells a buyer the house needs work, and they subtract more than the repair actually costs. In Florida, some issues also affect whether a buyer can get insurance, especially on homes that need a 4-point inspection.
That doesn’t mean renovating. It means fixing what affects insurance, financing and first impressions, and leaving the rest for the buyer to choose.
Handyman: Mark Moser, Moser’s Home Solutions
Mark is a good friend and the first call I make when a listing needs a punch list handled. He works throughout New Port Richey, Trinity, Holiday, Odessa, Hudson and Spring Hill, and he takes care of exactly the kind of work sellers need before going on the market:
- Drywall patches and ceiling stain repairs
- Interior painting and touch-ups
- Ceiling fan, light fixture and dishwasher replacements
- Doors, trim and small carpentry fixes
- Tile repairs
- Full pre-listing punch lists
Mark doesn’t take on major electrical work, and he’s honest about when a job needs a licensed specialist. Visit Moser’s Home Solutions, see his home repair punch list service, or call (727) 505-6442.
Electrician: Mike Egerdeen, Fox Electrical Services
When an inspection flags an older electrical panel, outdated wiring or something beyond a fixture swap, I send sellers to Mike at Fox Electrical Services here in New Port Richey. Mike is honest and knowledgeable, and he explains what actually needs to be fixed versus what doesn’t, which matters when you’re trying to spend wisely before a sale. His company handles panel changes, service upgrades, wiring and troubleshooting across Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough. Call (727) 831-3277.
Roofer: Brad McDonald Roofing & Construction
An older roof can shrink your buyer pool because buyers need insurance to close. Brad McDonald Roofing & Construction is a family-owned roofer based in New Port Richey that does a great roof at a fair price. What makes them especially valuable to my sellers: in my experience, they’ve been willing to be paid from the proceeds at closing, so the seller doesn’t have to write a big check up front, and we can market the home with a brand-new roof instead of negotiating around an old one. Call 727-856-ROOF (7663).
Any payment-at-closing arrangement is between you and the contractor. Get the price, permits, warranty and what happens if the sale doesn’t close in writing, and let your title company know.
Not Sure What’s Worth Fixing?
That’s part of what I do during a walkthrough. I’ll look at your home the way buyers will, help you separate the repairs that pay off from the ones that don’t, and connect you with the right person for each job. Request your free home value report or call me at 727-753-8588.
I recommend these businesses because I’ve worked with them and trust them. I don’t receive payment for referrals. Always confirm licensing, insurance, pricing and scope directly with any contractor.
