DIY or Hire a Pro?

DIY or Hire a ProOn this week’s episode of You Got This! we play the game, “Hire a Pro, or No?” While some jobs might seem easy to tackle, and you might love the idea of cutting back on expenses, safety and building codes would indicate its better to hire a pro. On the converse, if you’re handy and have a decent level of DIY experience, there are some projects you can knock out yourself.

There are seemingly endless resources available to help do-it-yourselfers, such as books with step-by-step instructions and online how-to videos. The general rule is to undertake projects you feel comfortable with and have the skill set to complete with good results. Most people are handy with a paintbrush and can save some bucks handling cosmetic improvements themselves. Others are willing to expand their repertoire to install tile, replace countertops, or even build a deck.

Our source for this week’s discussion can be found here.

You can catch You Got This! online anytime, or listen on Fridays at 9am, on KNCO Grass Valley.
