Yes, if you’re on a tight budget, demolishing old cabinets, removing flooring or tiles and painting trim yourself can cut costs – if done properly. Whether or not you do these yourself will depend on how much of your leisure time you are willing to invest into your kitchen renovation project as well as your experience level. If you’re not confident about the quality of work you can deliver, it might be best to leave these tasks to the professionals to avoid a costly do-over.
You should always leave structural, electrical and installation of new items to qualified tradespeople.
