Small problems are easily addressed before they become major expenses and you enjoy the added benefit of fewer crisis induced headaches. This is even more important if there is a move in your future. Poor maintenance, disrepair and even typical signs of wear can knock tens of thousands of the selling price of your home in a demanding real estate market.
