Scrolled past this one and had to stop.
"My friend severely injured themselves during a DIY project... it required surgery and physical rehab. My own renovations have been more costly than expected by like 3x. But I'm not DIYing. My mother's DIY renovations went well, but hers were more cosmetic."
This is exactly the line we talk about with every homeowner.
Cosmetic work? Go for it. Fresh paint, new hardware, swapping out a light fixture, those are great wins on a weekend.
But the moment you're in the walls, dealing with plumbing, electrical, or structural work, the cost of getting it wrong is almost always higher than just calling a pro from the start.
Our take? We'll always be honest with you about what's worth DIYing and what isn't.
No upselling, just transparency!
