“Ironically enough, while we saw door repairs and drywall repairs spike nationally by 78% and 11% respectively last February, both Los Angeles and Cincinnati were fairly tame compared to other cities.” Said David Steckel, Thumbtack’s Home Expert. “That said, we recommend keeping your area clear of valuables or items you wouldn’t want to see broken, stained, or otherwise impacted by guests.”
Following the Big Game in 2022, these cities saw the most repairs across the country:
- Austin, Texas
- Phoenix, Arizona
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Baltimore, Maryland
- Tampa, Florida
- Fort Myers-Naples, Florida
- Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas
- Washington, D.C.
- Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
- Charlotte, North Carolina
Door repairs typically cost $150 on average across the country – though replacing a door can end up costing much more.
