3 Common Home Improvement Disasters to Avoid | Preferred ...

Tackling a major home improvement project yourself? Consider hiring a professional before diesaster strikes.

?Sure, we can do that. It?s easy.? These words are often uttered by a cocky neighbor or relative who thinks they know more about home improvement than they actually do. Plus, they don?t have to live your house once a disaster strikes.Avoid these common home improvement disasters by hiring a pro. It won?t break the bank.

Replacing your own toilet
Before replacing a toilet yourself, consider proper installation. Many ceilings have been destroyed because of an improperly installed toilet on the floor above. Labor charges run approximately $135 for a professional to replace a toilet.

Cabinet Catastrophe
Before painting your cabinets, remember that the kitchen is the number one feature when it comes time to sell your home. Painting over ash or oak, will leave some wood grain penetrating through and that looks bad. Professional cabinet refacing has become more affordable. Explore your options and educate yourself before jumping into a project.

Not the wall!!
It seems simple, you want an open space by tearing out a wall. If you happen to tear down a wall that actually supports the house, or a load-bearing wall, floors go out of whack and who knows what else might fall from the second floor.

Don?t mess around with maintaining or upgrading your home if you don?t fully understand the entire project. Enlist the help of a professional.
