Low-Budget Repairs does not publish a complete official mission list, but most jobs follow the same flow. Read the contract, inspect the room, buy only what the next step needs, and check the goals after every important action. That flow is the most reliable way to finish any job without wasting money.
What Are Jobs in Low-Budget Repairs?
Jobs in Low-Budget Repairs are repair and renovation contracts that you complete for clients. Official descriptions mention bathroom flooding, full renovations, trash cleanup, pipe repairs, tiling, and furniture installation. Each job is an independent contract that asks you to complete specific goals. The developer has not published a complete, fixed mission list yet.
Task names, exact order, and rewards should be confirmed against the current version. The game is still being patched, so older walkthroughs may describe behavior that no longer exists. Keep this page focused on what the current game confirms. Anything else should be marked as to be confirmed.
The General Job Flow
Every job should start with the client request. Read it before entering the room so you know what actually needs to be repaired. Then walk around the room and note doors, windows, damaged surfaces, and objects that may block your work. This inspection decides what you buy and where you start.
After the inspection, choose the first required action and the tool or material it needs. Buy only that item instead of preparing everything the whole room might use. After every important action, check the task list again because the goals can change. Before trying a shortcut, estimate whether failure would create more rework.
How to Read a Contract
The contract tells you which tasks matter and which parts of the room you can ignore. Look for the required goals, not the cosmetic state of the apartment. A worn wall may not need repainting if the client did not ask for it. If a goal is missing from the list, do not spend money on it.
Read the wording carefully before you move objects. Some jobs ask for a specific repair, while others expect cleaning, removal, or installation. Buying the wrong tool is usually the first expensive mistake. The contract is the cheapest source of information in the game.
Money-Saving Rules
Buy for the next step, not for the whole job. A cheap material is only useful if it can finish the task without causing more work. If a repair breaks before the job ends, you may have to pay for the damage. Treat every shortcut as a test until the current version proves it works.
Wall Painting
Confirm which walls or areas count before you start painting. Painting the wrong spot wastes paint, and watering paint down may or may not count as complete. Use enough paint to finish the required target. Check the goal list before opening another can.
Walk the room once more before you buy paint. Check whether the task asks for one wall, a full room, or only damaged sections. The contract can name a small area while the apartment looks much worse. Use the task list as the budget for paint instead of the visual condition.
Tiling
Confirm which positions need tiles before you place anything. Fast, rough placement can work, but tiles placed too crooked can make the customer unhappy. Check what counts as complete before testing a cheap method. Fix visibly bad tiles before the customer inspects the room.
Do not assume every tile in the room is part of the contract. The task list names the required area, and covering extra space wastes material. If a tile does not sit correctly, fix it before the customer inspects. A small correction is cheaper than a failed job.
Plumbing and Repairs
Tape can act as a cheap temporary fix and may satisfy an objective for a while. If the repair fails before the job ends, the damage may cost more than a proper fitting. Inspect the damaged part before deciding what to buy. Choose a temporary or permanent fix based on what the contract requires.
A temporary fix is useful when the job only needs a short-term result. A permanent repair is safer when the client checks the work later. Tape can look cheap now but may fail at the worst moment. Keep a backup plan whenever the shortcut depends on material that can break.
Furniture Handling
Move old furniture out or throw it through an open window. Open the window first and watch for collisions and extra damage while you work. Throwing items saves carrying time, but a broken object creates a new cost. Plan the route before carrying anything heavy.
Check doorways, stairs, and windows before carrying anything heavy. An awkward object can block your route and cost time. If the item is too large, throwing it out may still be the cheapest option. Just make sure the window is open and the landing area is clear.
Bathroom Flooding
Flooded bathroom jobs usually combine leaks, damp, and pipe-related goals. Inspect the water source and damaged area before you buy any tool. Find the source first, fix the leak, and then handle the damp area. Buying before inspection can turn a simple job into a wasted purchase.
Early Mission Order
The early mission order below comes from official release gameplay videos, not from the developer. Confirm each step against the current version before treating it as a walkthrough. In the footage, the player returns to the old house left by the aunt and finds neighbor Barbara. The player then learns that the first job is in apartment 101 and starts by painting walls in a client apartment.
The early flow continues with cleaning the floor and taking items from the car. The player then works on electrical wiring and throws an old sofa out the window. Later steps include patching wall holes, painting again, and saving remaining materials. The storyline later moves into a Super Handyman competition, but the exact order and triggers remain to be confirmed.
Missions Mentioned in Official Patches
Official hotfix announcements mention Door to a better future, One more time, Materials, Mounting, and Righty-Tighty. These missions sometimes failed to complete when players worked in a different order than the game expected. The developer says some of these issues are already fixed. Use these names as a checklist and test the current build before writing exact steps.
What to Do When a Mission Gets Stuck
If a goal does not complete, compare the client request with the task list. Try the remaining actions in the order the contract lists them. Some order-related bugs have already been patched. If the mission is still stuck, walk through the room again and look for a step you skipped.
What Still Needs Confirmation
The complete task list, exact steps for each mission, reward amounts, and failure conditions are not officially published. Optimal money-saving order can also differ from mission to mission. This includes the early mission flow and the mission names from patch notes. Keep verified facts separate from community reports until the current game confirms them.
Current Version Notes
The game is new and still receiving patches. Mission behavior can change after an update, so test a walkthrough on the current build before sharing it. Treat pre-release, demo, and early release footage as starting points rather than promises. The safest source is the current version of the game plus official patch notes.
