DIY

DIY- Do it yourself. An acronym often used for crafting or repurposing things for your home or as gifts; but what about DIYing your home? It’s fun to think of yourself single-handedly transforming your home, but there are things that even an expert handyman shouldn’t attempt alone. • Roof Repairs- Besides the obvious dangers of hurting yourself, the opportunity to cause deeper (and more expensive) damage can happen a little too easily. Limit your trips to the roof to routine check-ups and gutter cleaning. Professionally completed roofs can last 20 years or more, so save yourself the trouble and call a professional. • Replacing Windows- Properly installed windows can have a major impact on your home and more importantly your wallet. Poorly installed windows can be directly linked to a flux in your home’s energy costs and can lead to water damage to interior walls. Hiring a certified contractor who is knowledgeable in the craft can make the installation process a little easier and save you future hassles. • Attic Insulation- If your attic is easy to get to, the thought of insulating it yourself may seem like a good idea. Stop. To get the ultimate benefits you’re looking for, the attic must be properly sealed prior to insulation. If this step is not completed properly, installing the insulation becomes a wasted effort. Being handy is always a trait to be proud of. However when it comes to transforming your home it’s crucial to get it right- the first time. So put the hammer down and call Paulson’s!
