DIY vs. Pro: When You Should Call FixedIt
We get it—YouTube makes everything look easy. And sometimes, fixing things yourself really can save time and money. But there’s a line between what’s smart to DIY and what’s better left to a pro. At FixedIt Handyman Services, we’re all for DIY—but we’re also here when things get a little too real.
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide: Do it yourself or call FixedIt?
Go DIY When:
1. It's a Small Job
Tightening a loose cabinet hinge
Replacing an air filter
Patching a small nail hole
These tasks are low-risk, inexpensive, and easy to learn. Grab your toolkit and knock ‘em out!
2. You Have the Right Tools
If you already own the tool (and know how to use it), it might make sense to DIY. Just make sure you're not spending $200 on a tool for a $50 repair.
3. There's No Risk of Further Damage
Swapping out a doorknob? Go for it. Touching electrical wiring without shutting off the breaker? That’s a call to FixedIt.
Call FixedIt When:
1. Time is Money
You could spend all weekend installing that vanity—or you could relax while we knock it out in under 4 hours. Your time matters. We don’t waste it.
2. You're Dealing With Plumbing or Minor Electrical
One leak or wrong wire can lead to serious (and expensive) damage. We’ve got licensed experts who can handle it safely and up to code.
3. You Want It Done Right the First Time
We’ve all been there—watching a 15-minute tutorial turn into a 3-hour headache. When you hire FixedIt, you’re getting experienced professionals who get the job done clean, correct, and with no guesswork.
