Save Time and Stress: Hire a Handyman

Tackling Home Repairs: DIY, Contractors, or a Handyman?

Homeownership in the Roanoke Valley comes with its joys, but also its to-do lists. When something around the house needs fixing, you might consider the DIY route, calling a general contractor, or reaching out to a handyman like BlueHat Handyman (that’s me, Matt Sotelo). So, which is the right choice for you?

The Allure (and Pitfalls) of DIY

There’s a certain satisfaction in tackling a home repair yourself. You save on labor costs, and you get the pride of saying, “I fixed that!” However, DIY isn’t always the most practical or efficient solution.

• Time Commitment: Your weekends are precious. Do you really want to spend them struggling with a project that might take a professional half the time?
• Potential for Mistakes: Without the right experience, it’s easy to make errors that could lead to further damage or require costly fixes down the line.
• Tool Investment: Some projects require specialized tools that you might only use once. Buying them can negate any initial cost savings.
• Safety Concerns: Certain repairs can be risky if not handled correctly. It’s always better to err on the side of caution.

When to Call a Contractor

General contractors are essential for larger-scale renovations and new construction projects. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, adding an extension, or undertaking significant structural work, a contractor is definitely the way to go. However, for those smaller, individual tasks that pop up – a broken doorknob, a hole in the drywall, or assembling new furniture – a contractor can be overkill, both in terms of cost and scheduling.

The Sweet Spot: Why a Handyman is Often the Best Choice
