DIY vs. Hiring Contractors: Which Is Right for You?

Deciding between DIY and hiring contractors depends on skills, time, and project complexity. DIY works well for painting, small décor upgrades, or simple installations. It saves money and gives a personal touch. However, large projects involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require licensed professionals to ensure safety and compliance with codes. Contractors bring expertise, efficiency, and access to better tools and materials. DIY often takes longer, especially if learning on the go. Mistakes can end up costing more to fix than hiring help initially. A balanced approach works best—tackle small DIY jobs to save money but trust skilled contractors for major renovations. The right choice depends on your comfort level, budget, and timeline.

For me DIY wins but it all depends on the renovation project
