If you find yourself facing a remodeling or home improvement project that's beyond your DIY skills, an experienced handyman can take some of the pressure off. Here’s a list of some of the most common household projects a skilled professional can help with.

5 Projects You Shouldn’t DIY

1. Painting

Indoor and outdoor house painting can be time-consuming, tedious work that requires prepping, sanding, scraping, and—in many cases—comfort working at considerable heights on a rickety ladder. However, an experienced professional can safely make short work of the project and produce exquisite results.

2. Electrical Work

Electrical work can be extremely dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. There is a risk you could damage the system, not to mention the risk of shock and electrocution. If you need to upgrade your panel, add a switch or outlet, or rewire a part of the house, an experienced handyman can ensure your safety.

3. Flooring

New flooring or carpeting can give a room an entirely new look and feel. A home remodeling specialist can replace that frayed kitchen carpet with something water repellent and easier to clean.

4. Siding

Old, deteriorating siding affects the curb appeal of your house and could even decrease its resale value. A layer of new siding will protect your home against the elements and rejuvenate its looks.

5. Deck Building

Take advantage of the summer by installing a new deck or screened porch. Whether you prefer sun or shade, you can commission an outdoor space for entertaining, grilling, or just relaxing.
