Doing it yourself can save bucks on easy stuff that’s not risky. But for complicated or important jobs, or anything with code, paying a pro usually works out cheaper in the long run.

DIY is worth it when the job matches your skill, tools, and time—but can cost more if mistakes lead to repairs, safety issues, or wasted materials.

DIY is worth it when the skill, time, and tools required are low, mistakes are fixable, and you value learning or personal satisfaction.

It costs more long-term when errors, rework, or poor-quality results lead to bigger repairs, safety issues, or wasted materials.

In my opinion I think DIY is worth it for simple, low risk tasks you can do well with basic tools; it costs more long-term when mistakes, safety risks, or poor quality lead to repairs, wasted materials, or code issues.
