There is little to compare with the pride a homeowner feels after a successful DIY project. And there is nothing quite as frustrating as a failed attempt and a bill to repair the damage. There are countless projects a YouTube tutorial can walk you through, but does water softener installation and maintenance make the list?
Price Vs Cost
The first step to deciding if you can DIY a home renovation, repair, or installation is to compare the price vs the cost. Meaning, how much money do you stand to save if all goes exactly to plan, and how much do you stand to lose if something goes wrong.
If you’re considering building your own table rather than forking down thousands for a prefab from the furniture store, a failure means that you’re out lumber. If you fail at repairing your own computer you risk wrecking your hard drive. It’s definitely worth the cost to pay a professional to keep your files from frying.
While it’s human nature to want to get our hands dirty, build, and repair on our own, be sure that what you’re feeling is confidence and not an impulsive, and possibly destructive primal urge.
Know Your Strengths
You might be a killer with a sledge hammer, but an actual killer with a screwdriver. If patience isn’t your strong suit, delicate repairs and fine maintenance might not be the DIY for Y-O-U. Stick with builds, demo, and… Maybe take up boxing?
A professional is not only paid to be patient, but insured if any mishaps happen, as they sometimes do. In fact, there are many appliances that require installations and repairs be done by a professional or the warranty is immediately voided!
