Other than smaller aesthetic projects, like gardening or painting, the answer is probably no, leave it to the professionals. Projects that you could take on later, depending on your level of DIY experience, include: - Patios — Your outside space has major potential, from outdoor kitchens and decks to firepits and pools, but some smaller patio projects may be feasible for you to take on yourself. - Gardening — Planning and planting your garden doesn’t have to be left to the professionals. There are plenty of resources to help get you started or to give your green thumb inspiration. - Painting — It takes more effort to paint the entire house than to paint one or two rooms, but this is a great step to take on yourself to save money. - Flooring — If you decide to switch up your flooring from what was originally put down, installing your own flooring can be a great way to save money that would’ve gone to hiring someone else.
