Home Maintenance Tasks: When to DIY and When to Hire a Pro (HouseLogic)

Doing maintenance jobs yourself can be a smart way to save money, but choose the right DIY projects or you’ll end up paying dearly.  Why pay someone to do something you can do yourself? Because sometimes doing it yourself costs more than it saves. More than 100,000 people injure themselves each year doing home improvement jobs. So add medical bills to your DIY budget, and you ending up spending the same, or more, than if you hired a pro.
