However, I feel that there are 5 projects you should not DIY - instead, leave these to the professionals: 1. Pest control. You might think you can head out to a hardware store, buy a spray, and take care of the pests yourself. Instead, call a professional. They know where to look for pests and can pick the best product to take care of the problem. It’s especially important to hire a professional if you have dangerous pests, like brown recluse or black widow spiders. 2. Tree removal. It might seem like a simple project - just chop it down! Don’t fall for this line of thinking. Cutting down a tree can be very dangerous. You might injure yourself or even damage your home. Call a professional to get that tree out of your yard. 3. Roof repairs. Maybe you just need to fix a small problem. Roof repair can be incredibly dangerous because you’re so high above the ground. Also, many insurance companies won’t insure the roof if they discover you have been working on it yourself. "Hire a professional to take care of any dangerous projects." 4. Anything electric. Don’t try to wire something yourself or fix any kind of electrical problem on your own. It really could be the last thing you do. Hire a professional instead. 5. For Sale By Owner. Everyone owns a home, so everyone thinks they can sell it if they need to. Leave your home sale to the professional for a safer, more secure, and timely transaction. National statistics prove that a professional real estate agent can net you more money from your home sale than you could on your own. If you have any DIY projects on your to-do list, give us a call. We know many professionals who can help you.
