DIY vs. Hiring a Professional: When to Call in the Experts


Hey there, fellow Rockford residents! Are you a DIY enthusiast or someone who prefers to leave it to the pros? We know that taking on home improvement and remodeling projects can be both exciting and daunting. At Giddens Property Service, we're here to help you make the right decision between rolling up your sleeves or picking up the phone to call in the experts.


DIY: When to Give It a Shot

There's no doubt that DIY projects can be fun, rewarding, and a great way to save money. Here are some instances where you might want to consider going the DIY route:

  1. Simple Repairs: Fixing a leaky faucet, patching small holes in the wall, or replacing a doorknob are relatively easy tasks that you can confidently take on with some basic tools and a little know-how.

  2. Painting: A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for your space, and with some patience, proper prep work, and quality materials, you can achieve professional-looking results.

  3. Low-Risk Projects: If the project doesn't involve major structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing, you might be able to tackle it yourself. Think installing shelves, assembling furniture, or creating raised garden beds.


Hiring a Professional: When to Call in the Experts

Sometimes it's better to step back and let the professionals handle the job. Here are some scenarios where hiring an expert from Giddens Property Service is the best choice:

  1. Complex Projects: Major renovations, such as kitchen or bathroom remodels, often require multiple skills like plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. Our team of experts can handle these complex tasks with ease, ensuring your project is completed on time and within budget.

  2. Safety Concerns: Working with electricity, gas lines, or load-bearing walls can be dangerous if you don't have the proper training and experience. Don't take unnecessary risks – call us to handle these jobs safely and effectively.

  3. Long-Term Value: When it comes to big investments like adding a room, finishing a basement, or updating your home's exterior, hiring a professional ensures the job is done right the first time. This not only saves you time and frustration, but it can also add value to your home when it comes time to sell.
