I never thought a tiny DIY project could actually save me hundreds, but last week proved me wrong. During a sudden rainstorm, I noticed a small leak above my kitchen window in South Congress. Instead of calling a contractor immediately, I grabbed some roofing sealant and a caulking gun from my local hardware store.
Spent an hour carefully sealing the crack, making sure the edges were covered and smoothed out. By the next rain, the leak was gone. Honestly, it felt like such a small effort for a huge payoff.
Takeaway: Sometimes the biggest headaches don’t need a full renovation
just a bit of attention, the right materials, and a little courage to try it yourself.
