Why Some Handyman Services Are a No-No for Beginners

Many people view do-it-yourself projects as a low-cost alternative to professional services. It’s easy to tell why. Many TV shows and bogs have glamorized the simplicity of DIY. But that’s as far as it goes.

Home improvement is anything but simple. It’s easier said than done. Only when you take up the tools do you realize that things weren’t as easy as you were conditioned to think.

Things can go south with ease when you decide to do handyman services on your own, especially if you have no upfront experience. It has happened to many DIY enthusiasts.

You are not probably alone. Roofing, plumbing, wiring, and flooring aren’t pieces of cake. There are reasons why you must go to school and get certified, licensed, and insured.

Training doesn’t come cheap, either. Pro handymen spend several months in school and many more at work. Most handyman services companies retrain their staff to fit their rigorous work environment and culture.

Read on to learn why some handyman services are completely out of bounds and not as doable as DIY populists have made you believe.

Things Can Go Awry Pretty Easily

Roofing and wiring are among the most dangerous home improvement projects you can undertake. With roofing, wobbly ladders, mischievous animals, or wet shingles expose you to the danger of accidental fall. And if you do shoddy work in wiring, you risk electrocuting yourself and your family!

While plumbing may not be dangerously so, it’s complex. You can easily mess up your lines if you are unsure of what you’re doing. The result: poor drainage, leaky sewers, taps, tubs, faucets, and so on. It’s beyond awful to drink water that tastes and smells like sewer all because you confused water for sewer lines and vice versa.

Besides, it can take a nonprofessional eternity to do these tasks on their own. And don’t think professionals are a one-man army. They work at least in pairs. That’s what you should expect us at T. Maintenance & Renovation to do. We would send at least two handypersons to your property. For we understand the scale and gravity of home renovation projects better than anyone else.

You Can’t Complete Home Improvement Projects Over the Weekend

Forget about it. Everyone deserves a rest after a busy weekday. Allocating at least one day to rest is recommendable if you want to enjoy a productive week ahead. Health researchers even acknowledge this. When you add a potentially stressful task to an already stretched schedule, you know what would result. Some DIY projects simply shouldn’t be done at home. Children complicate matters further.

While you might think painting is the home improvement project you can undertake, think again. Painting is a messy job. Besides, selecting the right shades of colors that reflect your mood and style is something that requires the input of skillful and experienced professionals. Paints also emit toxic fumes that pose health hazards to the vitals like lung and brain.

It doesn’t get better with the other types of home improvement projects. When you factor in the costs you would incur in terms of time wastage, health and safety hazards, and potential errors, they dwarf in comparison to hiring a pro handyman.

All-in-all, DIY, inasmuch as it’s touted as a more cost-effective approach than hiring a professional handyperson, isn’t worth your time and effort. For best results, leave home improvement projects to professionals.

We at T. Maintenance & Renovation understand your concerns. It’s why we customize our work to reflect your needs. There’s something for everyone, no matter how tight your budget is.
