DIY Decisions Figure out your handyman IQ before you reach the point of no return  Image courtesy iStockphoto There are plenty of do-it-yourself success stories on TV, but in real life, home-improvement projects don’t always go as planned. “If I’m starting to do a project I’ve never done before, the odds of making a mistake are pretty high,” says Jimmy Rocchetta, vice president of marketing for Handyman Connection. Those mishaps can turn into big headaches, so it’s a good idea to evaluate a project before you break out the tools. Be Realistic Take a look at what a project requires and compare it to your skill level and resources. “Do you have the time to do it?” Rocchetta says. “Do you have the tools? Do you have the talent?” If you answered “no” to any of those questions, it might be time to call in the professionals.Think Safety If the plans call for a power tool you don’t own, consider whether you have the skills to use it properly and safely. Electrical work – and anything that requires climbing a ladder – can also pose serious risks.Factor in Mistakes “If I mess it up, what’s it going to cost me?” says Brian Hutto, vice president of Home Depot Home Services Programs. It’s not too painful to fix a botched paint job, but a plumbing error can be costly.Expect the Unexpected Many jobs take longer – and cost more – than homeowners anticipate. Plus, you might decide to strip the wallpaper only to discover water damage behind it. “Sometimes a small project spins out of control,” Rocchetta says. Don’t be afraid to call in a pro when a task surpasses your comfort level.Start Small If you’re new to home improvement, cut your teeth on a few simple projects. Cosmetic improvements, such as a fresh coat of paint or new window blinds, are good bets. Hutto recommends tackling simple installs, such as a new storm door. No aspirin required. |
