When planning a renovation you face a big choice. Do it yourself or hire a contractor. Each has pros and cons.
DIY saves money and gives you full control. It is satisfying to complete projects with your own hands. But it also takes time, tools and skills. Mistakes can cost more than hiring help in the first place.
Contractors bring experience and efficiency. They know permits, codes and best practices. But they cost more and you need to choose carefully to avoid bad workmanship.
The best approach is often a mix. Handle small tasks like painting or demolition yourself and hire pros for electrical, plumbing or structural work.
Final thought: Knowing your limits is the key to smart renovation. Do you prefer DIY or professional help?
