Home repair and maintenance, DIY ?
DIY home projects are more popular than ever with the current economy and real estate market. Many home owners are taking on repair or remodeling tasks as a way to save money and increase the appeal and value of their homes. The decision to DIY vs hiring contractors should be made only after proper research and planning and honestly evaluating your skills. There is plenty of information out there to provide home owners with basic information to tackle the most common DIY tasks. Most contractors will provide free estimates that will identify how much is involved in completing your project. Often times the best approach is to determine what you are comfortable in doing and working with a contractor to perform a portion of the work while you complete work that you are able to do.
We are currently developing a new website www.onlinehomeresource.com that will be a community of DIYers which will allow home owners to research projects, view videos and communicate with other home owners who have tackled the jobs you are considering. We have over 30 years of experience in DIY projects as home owners and we also work as contractors providing home repair and maintenance to home owners, investors and real estate agents. This experience allows us to understand the process from both sides and share this experience with others via www.onlinehomeresource.com.
Many of you are like us in that the work we do ourselves allows us to do more than we could if we had to hire all the work done. I will be providing additional information on our recent project where we purchased a heavily damaged foreclosure house and transformed it into a brand new house exactly as we wanted all for under $100,000. We live in Florida and even in todays real estate market $100.000 buys you either a former rental that is destroyed or a grow house that has been gutted.
The blood, sweat and tears put into this project will be outlined in future blogs but is so worth it every single time I walk in the house and feel the pride of knowing we did this.
Feel free to contact me if there is an issue you would like to see discussed or if you have any questions or comments you can email me at info@onlinehomeresource.com.
