DIY Help Sites and Contractor-Finder Services Help Save
Here are some great ways to save money when you are doing
a home improvement project or considering a major renovation of your homel!
- You can do a lot of jobs yourself or with the help of
a friend. Start tackling some smaller "practice" jobs on your own
and you will be ready to tackle bigger jobs down the line. There
are many books available at your local bookstore or home store.
Also, you can find resources on the internet for doing many DIY jobs.
Go to this site on
finishing drywall for a comprehensive tutorial on this tricky task.
Go to
The DIY Home Improvement Network for comprehensive instructions on
DIY projects in flooring, kitchens, plumbing, bath, electrical, and
more. It is helpful, at least for the first time through, to have
a friend assist you that has a little experience. Also remember:
Start with a small job and get a little practice before tackling the
really big ones.
- For the really big jobs or the somewhat tricky jobs,
you will probably want to hire a contractor. You should get
several estimates, not just one! A good service to use is
called
NeedContractor and it will provide you with up to 4 estimates from
local licensed & insured prescreened contractors. With this
service, you will not be pressured or "guilted" into using the first
contractor that provides an estimate - rather the multiple contractors
compete for your bid and you have the opportunity to check out their
reputation before hiring them.
