DIY
  • Interior paint jobs: A room can get a makeover just by changing the color of the walls. Make sure you prep the room: Lay drop cloths on the floor and use painter’s tape to tape around baseboards and crown molding. 
  • Replace broken tiles: If you have a tile break in the kitchen, bathroom, etc you can hire someone to replace it, however, if you have extra tiles around you can do it yourself. 
  • Power washing your home’s exterior: The siding on your home can get dirty and start to look worn and dingy after being exposed to the elements. You can easily power wash the exterior of your home by either purchasing a power washer or renting one at your local home improvement store.
Hire A Professional
  • Removing trees: Hiring a local tree service to take down a tree on your property is best. Although it may seem like a good idea to take out a tree on your own, it’s not a simple process. The branches need to be culled and the stump should be removed as well. Also, the tree can harm you or someone else and can also unintentionally come down on homes, power lines, etc.
  • Roof repair: Getting up on a roof is dangerous and there can be many different roof issues present that a homeowner may not know how to deal with such as ice dams, insect damage, or leaks. It’s best to leave roof issues for a professional.
  • Siding installation: Siding is crucial as it is the first line of defense for your home against the elements and pests. While it’s not a bad idea to research which siding to invest in, it’s best to leave the installation portion of the project up to the pros.
