DO IT YOURSELF VS. PROFESSIONAL
Q. My bathroom is small and I’m thinking about remodeling it. Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
A. Despite today’s do-it-yourself (DIY) craze, you should weigh the pros and cons of taking on any remodeling project alone. Knowledge, including admitting your strengths and weaknesses, is the key to successfully completing any project on time and under budget.
Although many homeowners begin a project with good intentions, a high number overestimate their home improvement skills and remodeling knowledge.
Below are a few questions you should consider before embarking on a DIY project:
Are you familiar with your local building codes and permit requirements?
Do you know the proper steps for completing the project? Can you draft a plan?
Is it safe for you to do this project? For example, are you familiar with the electrical wiring of the home if necessary?
Have you obtained fixture and appliance installation instructions from manufacturers?
What is your remodeling skill level?
It can be frustrating when things don’t go as planned. Keep in mind, in most cases it costs more for a professional remodeler to complete the job than it would have if you hired a professional in the beginning.
