Home repairs are often treated as addressing the symptom and not necessarily the cause. Home repair involves the diagnosis and resolution of problems in a home and is related to home maintenance to avoid such problems. Many types of repairs are "do it yourself" (DIY) projects, while others may be more complicated, time-consuming or so risky as to require the assistance of a qualified handyman, property manager, contractor, or other professional.

With home ownership, comes the responsibility for maintenance and repair. Repairs are not necessarily the same as home improvement, although many improvements can result from repairs or maintenance. It may make just as much sense to upgrade a home system (with an improved one) as to repair it or incur ever-more-frequent and expensive maintenance for an inefficient, obsolete or dying system. For a DIY project, it is also useful to establish limits on how much time and money you're willing to invest before deciding a repair (or list of repairs) is overwhelming and discouraging, and less likely to ever be completed.
