CAN and SHOULD YOU DO A DIY REMODEL
-
Is it work you have done before?
Having some experience with the job will be a confidence booster.
- If you are new to this type of work, are you comfortable learning how to do it?
Online videos can help or a makers space might offer assistance.
-
Do you have time to correct mistakes?
- A knowledgeable friend might be able to assist you
Obstacles can cause a job to take longer than you anticipate or force you to redo work to get it right.
-
Will results that are “good enough” be good enough?’
Is this an area where you might not get professional results, but that ok? A flower bed is a good example, tiling a shower may not.
- Almost all electrical and plumbing work should be done by a professional. Also, get any permits needed. Not only for resale but to ensure your insurance company will cover it in case of damage in the future.
