If you are a new homeowner you
may not have all the skills needed to perform all
the tasks that a typical DIY homeowner can be
confronted with. Don’t despair, most new homeowners
started out the same way. Help is readily available
in the form of DIY home improvement coaches and
their assistance is usually free. These coaches can
assist you in many DIY home repairs, both minor and
major.
A home improvement coach is
similar to any other coach, they don’t do the job
for you, they only provide assistance so you can do
the job. Think of home improvement coaches in the
same way as a high school football coach. The coach
couldn’t play the game for you, but he has all the
knowledge and skills to help you play the game.
A
DIY home improvement coach can save you
money, time and a lot of frustration. It doesn’t
make any difference if your home improvement
project is a small project such as painting the
house or a major project such as building an
addition. If you don’t have the skills or the
experience a coach can assist you with the project.
Coaches for small and major
projects can be the clerk at the home improvement
building supply center or an expert found on line
in the thousand of DIY websites. These coaches can
provide tremendous help through the planning and
preparation process and determining how much the
project will cost. A coach will help you steer away
from common mistakes a new DIY homeowner can make.
For major projects that do
require a contractor’s assistance the coach can
assist you in dealing with the contractor and keep
him showing up to complete the work avoiding delays
and increased costs.
Most importantly a coach can
help you avoid major mistakes that are often common
among inexperienced DIY homeowners. You don't want
to make expensive mistakes that can be avoided by
simply seeking out a coach and following his
advice.
If you are anticipating a home
improvement or remodeling project seek the
assistance of a coach. The knowledge and skills
required to perform many home home improvement
projects isn’t really rocket science but to the
novice it might seem like it is. Explore the coach
method before hiring a contractor.
Most improvement projects are really
straight forward and with a little assistance you
should be able perform them yourself. Not only will
you save a lot of money, you will also have the
enjoyment of knowing that you did it yourself.
