Time is Money

Are you thinking of making some home improvements?

With large home improvement centers offering “do it yourself” classes on home repair and maintenance, homeowners are tackling big home improvement projects more and more.

Here are a few helpful tips to consider when deciding whether to take on home projects yourself or hire an expert for the task:

* Compare your own hourly wage to what you would pay per hour to have the job done.
* Consider how much longer it would take you to get the job done compared to an expert.
* Take into consideration the value of the time you would spend on the project. (Could that time be spent with family or on hobbies?)
* Determine whether you have the necessary equipment, or if you would need to rent tools for the project.
* Always think of the cost/benefit ratio when you plan a home improvement project.
