Why Smart Landlords Don’t DIY Repairs — They Hire Experts

Between tenant communication, rent collection, legal compliance, and unit turnover, getting repairs done can feel like just another task.  And, another headache.

Here’s the truth: Smart landlords know that doing repairs themselves isn’t just inefficient - it can be risky.

DIY Repairs: The Hidden Risks

DIY Repairs by a landlord carry risks, like:

  • Code Violations: Arizona has strict building codes.  As a DIY landlord, you may not know all of these building codes, leading to legal risk

  • Tenant Dissatisfaction: Sloppy or delayed repairs can irritate tenants, leading to complaints (more headaches!) and increased turnover

  • Insurance and Liability: If a DIY repair fails, or causes damage/injury, you could be held liable - especially if you didn’t use a licensed professional

Experts Bring More than Tools - They Bring Peace of Mind

When you hire a licensed, bonded, insured home repair company like Epic Home Repairs, you’re not just outsourcing labor, you’re preventing risk.

Professionals carry liability insurance (protecting you), and have more experience (leading to better repairs).  Having done these repairs for years, a professional is more likely to spot issues you might miss - and fix them before they become larger problems.
