Remodeling Magazine did a recent study, with some very interesting results. Reports from the study include common DIY projects, reasons for deciding to DIY and the result of the DIY project. Of those surveyed, 63% regretted one of their DIY projects and one third of the homeowners who tried to remodel their home, called a professional to fix. Of the respondents, 56% opted to do the project themselves to save money. In the end, 55% said the project took longer than anticipated and approximately 50% found it both physically and technically harder. The most popular reason homeowners weren’t happy with the result was they didn’t think it looked good.
