Is It Time to Give Up on Your DIY Home Project?

Homeowners take the DIY approach to home renovation because they can save money and the projects often seem like doable tasks. However, sometimes a simple project can turn into a big disaster if you don’t know how to tackle it properly. The staff at Unique Flooring in Oceanside has put together a list of a few DIY projects you may want to leave to the professionals.

Bathroom Makeover
A bathroom makeover can greatly increase the value of your home. Common bathroom renovations include removing old and outdated tile and replacing an old fiberglass tub with a newer updated tub. These projects may seem easy when you get started, but you may soon discover plumbing issues, mold, and damaged sheetrock can present serious complications that require professional help.

Kitchen Remodel
A kitchen remodel is one of the most common home improvement projects. Many homeowners try to remove and install cabinets themselves, but doing this can be tricky if you don’t have the expertise, especially when installing overhead cabinetry. Having professionals complete the project can ensure your cabinets are installed safely and accurately.

New Shingles
Though the project may seem simple enough, putting new shingles on your roof is difficult and dangerous work. Professional roofers can ensure your shingles are installed correctly so you don’t have to worry about leaks or other complications with the roof down the line, and they also handle cleanup of your old shingles.

Flooring Installation
A new floor can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home. However installing a new floor yourself requires not only a lot of work, but a certain skill set as well. If you don’t have the tools needed to complete the job, such as a miter saw for cutting wood flooring or a knee kicker to stretch new carpet into the corners, it is probably time to call the professionals.
