DIY vs. Contractor






You know I love planning and doing home improvement projects, while many others may choose to simply call a contractor even for the smallest projects. Kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling are particular favorites that give as much worth to homes as to quality of life to homeowners. Many (like me) take on this task as a DIY “Do It Yourself” to save some money. Although the DIY approach can be very cost efficient if done right, it can easily turn to what seems like a never-ending nightmare.

I mean, we've all seen HGTV and Extreme Home Makeover and all of the other DIY shows on TV that make remodeling and renovating your bathroom or kitchen seem like a breeze. What you don’t see in the 30 minutes of a program, is all of the hard work that goes into remodeling any room. Television shows leave out a plethora of details, time and hard work that goes into remodeling. Because come on let’s be serious; do you really want to see how long it would take someone to scrape all of the 30-year old wallpaper off of the walls? Or to spend 2 days watching paint dry??

Several home improvement jobs simply don't require professionals if you spend some time to figure out how to do them yourself. Things as a simple repainting a room, for example. Others need more attention to detail and consideration that can only come with experience, like ventilation and safety. When planning to do some bathroom remodeling it is important to select materials that are not only attractive but are also non-skid, to avoid falls. In the kitchen that new deluxe range also needs to have adequate ventilation as well. No matter what type of home improvement and remodeling you ultimately decide to do, it's really important to ensure that you are starting with a design that utilizes your existing space efficiently and gives you the most of your money. You can opt for a DIY home improvement or get professional help. DIY can be less expensive than getting professional help, but to make home improvements you need to have the talent, patience and the skills.
