DIY projects are fun and can turn out successful. There are a lot of quality resources for the motivated “Do-It-Yourselfer” out there. Just turn on your TV to the HGTV channel, open a home improvement or remodeling magazine, or research one of the thousands of YouTube videos about the “how-to” world. However, there are some DIY projects that even the most skilled handyman should avoid like the plague that can turn out disastrous.
DIY Projects to Avoid
Here is a list of some of the projects you should hire a professional remodeler or General Contractor to complete for you.
1. Roof Replacement
Depending on the type of roof you have on your home and the weather conditions of your area, a roof can last between 20 to 50 years. Once a roof needs repair or replacement, it is essential to use a qualified roofing expert instead of the DIY handyman. If you don’t get this one right, it can mean significant damage to one of your most significant investments – your home. Damage to walls, leaking, mold, and mildew, flooding, etc.
2. Gourmet Kitchens with High-End Accessories
With a kitchen renovation, there are a lot of measurements that need to be perfect for cabinets, countertops, sinks, appliances, flooring, etc. Permits need to be secured. Electrical needs to be put into place. There is no room for guesswork to get the outcome you want. Leave this one up to a professional remodeler or General Contractor.
3. Bathrooms
Today there are so many beautiful options for a renovated bathroom in your home such as walk-in showers, tile, elegant soaking tubs, cabinetry, fixtures, heated floors, exhaust fans that keep mildew out, etc. You’ll need to consider the size of your hot water tank for your shower or bathtub to work correctly. Again, proper permitting will be required. A professional remodeler or General Contractor can be the “make or break” part of this equation.
4. Sunrooms
Sunrooms on a home offer so much enjoyment to the homeowner and guests, especially if you have a fantastic backyard in nature. Building a sunroom requires a lot of thought regarding the structure of your home, foundation, roofing, screen or glass floor to ceiling windows, permitting, HOA approval, etc. Again, you need a professional remodeler to help you figure this one out.
5. Room Addition
Thinking about adding a room to your home? Do you need a mother-in-law suite, a game room, a luxurious master bedroom suite, etc.? An experienced home remodeler can help you plan the ideal room, navigate complicated building codes to determine the requirements, and save you a lot of headaches and money from making mistakes.
6. Garage Additions
Looking to add a garage so you can park your vehicles or store your seasonal items? This project is where an experienced home remodeler can really help you avoid disaster and figure out design, layout, building codes, permitting, etc. to get this big project done correctly the first time.
7. In-Ground Swimming Pools
Pools, especially in the south, are an excellent addition to any backyard enjoyment. If you are considering adding an in-ground swimming pool, hire a professional?
