Home Repair Cost Estimator

DIY: painting, caulking, replacing faucets and toilets, patching drywall, replacing outlets/switches (if comfortable with electrical). Hire a pro: anything structural, major plumbing, electrical panel work, gas lines, roofing, window replacement, and anything requiring a permit. When in doubt, get a quote — a botched DIY repair often costs more to fix than hiring a pro would have cost in the first place.
