In Fargo, North Dakota, a homeowner shared that they finished most of a DIY renovation before buying a laser level. Once they finally used it, they realized how many small alignment issues they had already locked in.
Cabinets were slightly off. Shelves were level to the eye but not to the wall. None of it was dramatic, but all of it was noticeable once pointed out.
Trades in the comments agreed. A laser level is not a luxury tool. It is a planning tool. Using it early prevents small mistakes from stacking into visible problems later.
