DIY Failures and how to avoid them
The past 3 months have been difficult, but we’ve made it through. You have probably learned and accomplished things you never expected you had to do: learn common core math, become a zoom pro, give haircuts to the whole family. While we were doing all this, we have been cooped up at home, looking at the things we wished we had already changed in our home before it all began. A finished study room for the kids would have been nice!
With all these accomplishments, you might be thinking about trying your hand at some DIY home improvements. You may have watched and re-watched a video on “how to paint your kitchen cabinets or replace a sink in the bathroom”. So, you think you should at least try, how hard can it be, right?
We hope before you go too far, you give us a call. Your bad DIY haircut will grow back, but a broken pipe won’t fix itself. Home improvement projects that look small enough to do it yourself often have hidden challenges that you don’t always anticipate. You pull out that kitchen tile and find out the sub floor is uneven, you get he bathroom sink halfway out but can’t loosen that last hose connection to finish removing it, so the faucet is left there dangling. One of the main reasons for “DIY” regret is that the project took longer than expected. Also, many projects are physically or technically harder than homeowners thought they would be.
You don’t need to spend your valuable time researching ho to do a project, then spending money on tools and supplies you will need for it, only to find out you can not finish the project. Yo really don’t have to spend your weekends refinishing hardwood floors, right? What ever project you are planing, we have probably done it many times before with beautiful results.
We can save you money by doing your hoe improvemnet project right the first time.
