If you have a home improvement project, should you do it yourself (DIY) or hire a pro? Even if you’re handy with tools and think you can save money, consider these factors first.
Check the time
Determine the time needed to complete a project. It can be easy to misjudge. Take painting, for example. It may not take long. It’s the rest—covering floors and furniture, correcting wall problems, taping trim, and cleanup—that eats up hours. Larger projects may take you months to complete that a contractor can finish in weeks. When you’ve come up with an estimate, decide if you want to take that much time away from work and family.
