Ted and Christine Prescott’s home is 60 years old so there’s no surprise that it needs a few repairs. Combine the age of the home, the owner’s busy schedules and a pair of teenage boys who define rowdy; and you have the perfect location to dig into Home Repair Basics.

In this case the repairs are all very common and revolve right around the front entry door.

  • Water damaged laminate flooring
  • Broken slats in a louvered closet door
  • A drafty door in need of weatherstripping and a threshold
  • A broken window pane
  • A moldy porch floor
