Don’t Wait Until It’s 110° — Fix These Problems Now
5 Urgent Home Repairs to Make Before Summer in Arizona
As the heat ramps up across Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, and nearby cities, small home problems can quickly turn into big — and expensive — headaches. From warping wood to rising energy bills, now is the time to tackle these key home repairs before triple-digit temperatures take over.
At Hand Heroes is your first responder-owned solution for reliable, professional home repair services throughout the West Valley.
1. 💡Upgrade Old or Inefficient Lighting Fixtures
Why now? Traditional light fixtures often use incandescent or halogen bulbs that waste energy and give off heat — the last thing you need in a summer-ready home.
What to do:
Swap outdated can lighting with LED recessed lights
Upgrade builder-grade fixtures to more modern, efficient ones
Install dimmers or smart switches to better control energy usage
Bonus: LED lighting uses up to 75% less energy and doesn’t add to your indoor heat.
2. 🚪Fix or Replace Damaged Exterior Doors
Why now? A cracked, warped, or drafty door lets in hot air and makes your AC work overtime — especially in Arizona’s dry heat. Don't let in the Heat!
Common issues we fix:
Loose weatherstripping
Sticking or misaligned frames
Cracks or gaps in the threshold or trim
Light coming in through the sides
A quick repair or replacement now can prevent higher utility bills and keep your home comfortable all summer long.
3. 🧱Repair Stucco or Exterior Siding Cracks
Why now? Stucco damage may seem minor — until the sun and summer storms hit. Cracks allow water intrusion, heat absorption, and even insect nesting.
What we do:
Patch and re-texture cracked stucco
Match existing paint and finish for seamless curb appeal
Reinforce siding sections before they worsen
4. 🏠Replace or Repair Soffit & Fascia
Boards
Why now? These often-overlooked areas near your roofline are
critical for attic ventilation. Damaged or rotting boards can trap
heat in your attic, strain your HVAC system, and invite pests.
Fixing these issues early can save a lot of money.
We handle:
Replacing water-damaged wood
Painting and sealing Wood Trim
Restoring proper airflow under the eaves
Fixing cracked Facia Boards/Trim

5. 💨Repair or Replace Non-Working
Ceiling Fans
Why now? A functional ceiling fan helps reduce the perceived
temperature in your home by 4–6 degrees. If your fan is
making noise, wobbling, or not working at all, it’s time for a fix
or upgrade.
We can:
Swap outdated models with energy-efficient ones
Safely install fans on high or vaulted ceilings
Fresh Install of Fan or Light in a room without a fan box
