Hire a Pro Instead of Doing It Yourself for Plumbing Projects
Study: hire pros instead of DIY for home projects
ATLANTA – A national survey commisioned by online review site Kudzu.com found that trying to save money on do-it-yourself home projects might end up costing more than hiring a pro. One in four Americans have hired a professional to fix or finish a home improvement project they first tried themselves. The study, conducted by Kelton Research, revealed that 35% of Americans believe it is more cost effective to hire a professional for a home improvement project than trying to do it themselves.
With age, people gain more perspective on the issue. More than a third (38%) of Americans ages 45 and older note hiring a professional for a home improvement project would be more cost-effective than doing it themselves, compared to 32% of those ages 18-44.
